there's your answer mate. Like any good Q, the answer is it depends!
If you work hard and don't stop much you don't need much on, but if you keep wearing too much and then stopping then you get sweaty, then cold.

Go on the cooler side temperature wise and keep moving, even if slowly! You'll stay drier and happier. Dressing for cross country is like dressing for running on a cold day I suppose. It would also depend on your tolerance for cold and how quickly you warm up once moving.
