So I finally wore this jersey today on my morning commute. It is awesome.

(This is the first time I've ever ridden my bike to work in the winter. Granted, the weather is unseasonably warm, but mornings are still quite nippy. It's a 10-14 mile commute depending on the route. I took the 14 miler for the first time ever.)

The commute was awful. Not because of the cold, but because of the wind. I had a nasty, gusty cross-wind that kept trying to blow me into traffic. Because it was gusty, I also had to worry about overcompensating and running myself into a ditch. I was in constant terror, using every ounce of my concentration the whole time to keep myself more or less near the shoulder. In fact, as I type this, I can feel the lean, kind of like how after you get off of a boat, you feel like the ground is unsteady beneath your feet.

Anyway. The point is this. This jersey is awesome. I wore it over an extremely thin silk long john top. I couldn't feel the wind on my skin at all. I was not cold. I was not warm. I was perfectly comfortable. I love this jersey.
