I figure something wool or fleece would be best for cold - any favorites?

What do you recommend for a thin outer waterproof layer, that I could just carry along with me?

And, I'm sure this question has been beat to death...

But is the scent blocking technology worth the money, or is washing the stuff and your body in special soap enough?
