If you are still feeling the chill, but wanting to dispense with the heavy winter layers then you might be interested to know about the Surly Merino Wool Jersey for women.
Personally, I believe black is the only black and that it is the most flattering colour on any shape, which is good because this top comes in just one colour: black!
This is wool, but not as you know it. This is super fine Merino wool, all the way from New Zealand, and it is light weight, soft next to your skin and stretchy. On top of that it is naturally wicking, easy to care for (machine washable) and hard wearing.
So it is an all natural fabric, that is soft to touch and comes with great temperature regulation as standard; keeping you super warm and dry. It has a deep zip (11inch) and good sized rear pockets, which are elasticated across the top for extra security.
On cold days, worn with a full sleeve base layer, you will be very warm and there is no restriction of movement. Or you can continue to enjoy this jersey on its own on cooler days throughout the year, perfect for spring and autumn!
It is not cheap, but then this is a seriously high quality fabric. In fact, I think this is cycling's equivalent of the little black dress; it's the little black top that looks great, will never be out of style and is made with quality materials that will last and last.
