Merino Wool Riding Jersey
Hey everyone,
I'm currently looking for a Merino Wool riding jersey without a hood, either full zip or 1/4 zip. I'm looking for something I can wear under my waterproof riding jacket for extra warmth once the winter comes. Any info will be much appreciated!

If you're on a budget,then I'd go with a SmartWool zip neck. No pockets,but decently made for the price. If you're willing to spend,Ibex is my fav wool. Check their web specials to save a few bucks.

Ibex jerseys and tights are my absolute favorite. Very light and comfy, and excellent construction. The only issue I've had is with a 3-year-old jersey where my keys rubbed a hole through the back pocket--easily repaired with an iron-on reflective patch.
