They have a high collar to help keep the cold out and the warm in, and feature long body and long sleeves. The fabric weight makes them suitable for cool weather to cold weather. Merino fibers are soft and non-irritating even on sensitive skin. Our long sleeve jerseys are made from medium-weight Merino wool. We've tried hard to produce something we hope will become your favorite piece of cycling clothing. Our jerseys are an excellent example of wool done well. It still offered some really great features, like great moisture control and a resistance to putrescent reek.

Once long ago, wool was the material of choice for cycling clothes and other active clothing.
