    I ordered a turquoise one from Amazon, for $65.00. I won't be able to wear it riding, unless, a) I'm riding my bike with my Tail Rider, so I don't need pockets, or B) I'm wearing my vest or jacket.
    Given the temperature today, that probably won't be an issue. It definitely will be good for snow sports.

    I've got to say, wool and pockets don't mix very well (much like my featherweight synthetic Sheila Moon summer jersey). I'd personally go with a wool base layer under a synthetic jersey. Seen too many people with the sh*t in their pockets hanging down below their saddle in their wool jerseys in the rain... swinging back and forth smacking their seat packs...

    Agreed. Unless it's really well-constructed, or the pockets are oriented so that the stitches run horizontally, knit wool at such a fine gauge has too much stretch for pockets.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
