No. Especially if, like most these days, it is perforated. I wear polypro as a first layer and windstop jersey and pants beneath my perforated one piece. Works pretty good into the 30's.
When riding aggresicely on extreme twisties, I usually need to shed the windstop stuff once the temp hits about 50ish. Your body can use up a lot of calories from tossing a bike around. That makes heat and the windstop turns into a sauna.

most the time wearing a one or two piece suit you are wearing very thing under armor like clothing just so that the suit doesn't chaf your entire body. But like he said if its perferated you are screwed.
