True but I wear merino base as it wicks sweat away extremely well and doesn't retain it as it stays dry and odourless and I've worn lite weight T shirt and long John's under my goretex bike gear in high thirty degree heat on tours and heavy weight base with a down mid layer under the same suit when it below zero in the mountains in the morning. Layering is definitely the best way of regulating body temp but all layers have to be suitable for purpose, I've seen loads of mates on tour wear a decent wicking base layer but then wear jeans and a cotton mid layer but cotton is terrible for retaining moisture ..

I've got a tab shell jacket the was near four hundred ten plus years ago that is totally waterproof and breathable but again you need to wear the appropriate base and mid layers.
