I recently got a Ewenison long sleeve jersey from STP. Wore it yesterday in 25-40 degree gray wet weather and it felt great. I had them ship both a small and a medium and ended up keeping the small. I am always on the "cusp" of these two sizes,and the small had a little less fabric in the arms and was a little shorter. Both are quite long, which I appreciated on my ride yesterday.Originally Posted by nscrbug
I have never had any complaints with durability of my Smartwool sweaters/jerseys. Washer-dryer and put 'em back on!

Wool in summer
I was thinking about spring/summer biking attire today and wondered if a Smartwool microweight crew would work when I need something under my jacket for evening chill. I can't ride very fast near home, and wind off the river after sunset can be brisk. I know people wear wool in summer -- I've read about it here, but I've never done it. I don't do real bike clothes -- usually just wear T shirts in summer.
This is all in aid of rationalizing additional purchases, of course.

I use a Smartwool microweight crew under a short sleeve jersey when a summer day starts out cool. As the day warms up I can shed the wool crew if needed. Wool is so good at thermo-regulating that it works well in a wide range of temps.

A thin merino top feels so good in the Spring sun when a playful cool breeze tries to dance with you.
