Yep.
I would work well for fall riding in Western WA, and autumn riding here on cool days, especially after it starts freezing harder at night. Some of the water from our sprinklers froze on the grass and deck this morning, for the first time I noticed this year. I had a soft wool piece from Performance that was a little lighter than this one that I wore forever, and it was surprisingly versatile in its wooliness. Hopefully this one will be the same, for cool days. Good wool is a good layer. The merino stuff such as that made by companies such as SmartWool, and Icebreaker can be very good cold weather layers. I typically wear nordic ski pants of some kind, with a chamois underneath, for cold weather cycling. I don't have any wool pants.It actually looks and sounds too warm for me though it probably colder where you live SVL so it might be more practical than here. My biggest problem when it does get cool is my hands get cold (I don't wear gloves). If we get a place up in Washington I might have to revisit some of my current riding conditions (no rain, no gloves, no riding if it's too cold for shorts). Still not sure I'd ever want wool, too many bad memories of sweaters
My hands can get cold even in gloves when I am riding in the shade on the days I would likely be wearing this jersey. Would probably at that point be wearing lobster claw type TOKO or SWIX nordic ski gloves, which I use for the mid to late October into November riding. Or if I ever go pedaling around during winter. Sometimes I might wear my lighter nordic ski gloves with fingers. But usually, on a bike, I like the lobster claws. As opposed to the gloves when I am swinging my arms with nordic poles.
