Layers. 10°C isn't particularly cold when you're climbing (or hiking the approach) so you'll want options. I'd probably be wearing long underwear, normal climbing pants, a thermal shirt over a t-shirt and a light jacket/puffy.
Maybe try to look thru the bottom of this page, there are a few with dragons and medieval themes:

Take it from an outdoorsy kid: hoodies are bulky and take up space in your bag, you're much better off bringing a light wool shirt. Something merino will keep you warm even when you're wet from sweating and doesn't take up much space if you're going without a locker.

Here you go!
I'm totally with you on anything that hugs my neck. It makes me very uncomfortable.
I have the women's version of this pullover, and it's a wonderful combo with the base layer
Raven has some sweet viking/nordic themed gear: the Berserker has bears on it. This link is for the rash guard but they also have spats and shorts:

You will die in those jackets. Literally.

You came to the right place!
I live off Quercus Grove and ride the MCT Trails to the Bus and then take the Bus to Downtown STL.
I combo wool buff with a cap like this Helmet Cap (couldn't find the exact one I use but this is a lot like it).
I also use Barr Mitts plus thin gloves on days like today.
For layers I like Omniwool
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post but I was wondering if someone could clarify if these long sleeved rash guards are ranked? I happen to like the black one better than the white and was wondering if it would be looked down upon to get that one. Thank you!

Is this the right one? Smartwool Men's Base Layer Top - Merino 150 Wool Active Long Sleeve Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HMUO5II/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OBLMDbW389JYB
Can it be found in REI?
Smartwool makes an ultralight short-sleeved base layer that's great for cycling.
I would rock that with bike shorts (wool shorts suck TBH) and pack a lightweight windbreaker or windvest for descents or if you run cold.
I've done 4 Spartan races - all sprints - but in a variety of temperatures and conditions.
I'm not about showing my junk either, so I go for a "superhero" style layering approach. Here's my go to gear:
For shoes, I've run 4 races and done lots of training in between in the same pair of Reebok Nano 4s. Not exactly specialized trail running/OCR shoes. But I just love their durability, foot protection, and their traction really shines on the climbing obstacles. I wouldn't mind upgrading but I just can't seem to wear this pair of shoes down! I expect they'll last at least another 4+ races.

This is the one that I ordered
GC2B had a period of time where they were on amazon but it appears they stopped that. I guess it caused too many issues.

Thats an underworks 997 which I have heard great things about, I believe its a full torso binder though, so your chest and stomach are flattened. I'm not sure if they are worth some of the prices they are listed though
So like this bad boy?

Smartwool Baselayer Top
“try personal hygiene...” not sure if funny-ass or just ass, but i giggled before cringing so...
On a serious note, it does kinda exist sorta. What youve asked for covers an insanely broad spectrum of conditions but, there are some things that come close
Merino wool, from fancy brands better than cheap brands, of a very light weight, will be comfortable to sleep in, can wear during the day without looking like a technical trekking uniform, and is naturally microbial so it resists getting stninky... to a point. As for keeping you warm, well, thats a variable thats harder to measure. What works for one person may not work for another
Smartwool NTS 150 weight merino crew neck long sleeve shirts are probably pretty close to what youre looking for

or...
Patagonia Capilene everyday cool, or Outdoor Research Echo ling sleeve crew neck shirts are a synthetic version. Theyre not as snuggly comfy as high quality light merino wool but theyre usually cheaper and always lighter. Bonus - the Capilene and Echo stuff can be washed in a sink at the end of a day and be ready to wear in the morning
