When on my weekend steed i'm a full lycra rider, which in winter is Assos Thermal tights/jacket and sidi winter boots.

I'm in 2 minds as to what to wear on my forthcoming commute. It is 12km each way (circa) 30 mins.

I like padded bib shorts for obvious reasons but the hassle and time of stripping naked to get changed when arriving at work and again when leaving is making me think twice.

I don't mind my legs getting wet on the way to work but would hate for my upper body to get wet/cold.

Would padded tights (non bibs) and wearing my work top with say an Altura Evo Jacket be a good compromise??

Why is it making you think twice? It only takes a minute to get changed.
You're wearing tights already so no reason not to wear a cycling specific top.

But work top and Evo jacket? You'll sweat in that combo on your commute and you don't want to do a full days work smelling of sweat do you?
