In June you'll only need arm warmers and a gilet. If the weather is bad full fingered gloves and a waterproof/wind proof jacket. Anything else and you're carrying too much - you just have to tough it out.....newspaper down the front is how it used to be done.
If it's cold and/wet throughout the ride I'd use something like a Gabba (or water repellent arm warmers and a gilet). Otherwise just regular gear. Mitts and overshoes/toe-thingies if you like.
At the top I'd put on some long fingered gloves and a pack-down racecape style jacket. It'll keep some wind and wet off. Stick these back in your jersey pockets for the next climb.
For a combination of wind and water resistance and high breathability, I think the Sportful Fiandre Light WindStopper Jacket is fantastic.
thanks, looks like a very good suggestion if the zero availability is anything to go by.
