I am looking for a light weight merino long sleeved jersey, not short sleeved. I have had some of the heavier ones and they are just too heavy for me now, as I seem to have more tolerance for cold riding. I prefer regular thermal if I need a heavier weight, and I wear a base layer. And I don't really want to spend 200.00. While I am not opposed to spending that much, for maybe a jacket, I won't for a jersey. I searched the net on all of my usual sites and nothing. All of the wool jerseys are heavier than the one I have, which was bought at Performance on line.

Smartwool micro light jerseys... I have three and my husband has two. They get worn more than anything else in our athletic wear closet! I have one that fits right that I wear as a base layer under other things, and I have two that are too big that I actually wear as running tops almost all year. I throw one on over a sports bra and then put on a vest and I'm good for a variety of conditions. They are super soft and have held up to washing well (I put them in the washer but hang them to dry). I'm a big fan of both icebreaker and ibex, but these are by far, my most-worn jerseys for athletic pursuits.

Mine is the zip version above, but TE has the crew version if that is more to your liking:
