40deg raining days will require: top is thick base layer>thick long-sleeve jersey>water/windproof jacket(thin gore or the like not a shower's pass user)>waterproof "winter" gloves>soft shell cap under helmet that covers ears, bottom layer consists of winter full length bibs with fleece backing and windproof materials and neoprene booties with thin wool socks. Full disclosure, I have yet to find bottoms that work well enough to keep my legs from turning magenta at the end of a 30-mile ride.
PDX has all the bitchin'est shops, our two favorite, Lakeside Bicycles, River City Bikes.
