Can't beat 100% wool in cool or cold weather.

But, can I wear a vest with a Wabi Woolens jersey or not?

I just rode home in the rain wearing the Ornot Thermal Merino Power Grid LS Jersey and it never disappoints.

Just wanted to give a quick update after putting the Q36.5 Hybrid through its paces. The bottom line is once the temps hit high 30s to low 50s, I lived in the Que jersey. I varied ss/ls base layers and shorts for longs, but the jersey was a constant. It's really thin/light and looks great, so makes reaching for a heavier jacket very unappealing. The sleeves are thin enough so you don't overheat when it's warm (or add LS base), and the collar is amazing at keeping drafts out.

On cooler starts I pair it with the Q "Newspaper" half vest which I got a while back. It's rediculous being what it is, but together with the que, they make a great system. Taking off an extra layer is as simple as pulling it out and shoving it in your back pocket. No more fussing with bulky layers. Happy riding.

Glad it's worked out well for you too! I'm up to two of them, and wore one yesterday here in CT for a quick ride in a damp, cool 48 degrees with some Q tights and the long sleeve base. Was comfortable for both halves of the ride, climbing out of my house to Armonk and then the descent back down without touching the zipper.

I will say I'm probably using it when its 10 degrees warmer than you indicate (45-60 degrees sans vest), but I'm also in Florida most of the winter so not as adjusted to the cold as I was before.

Tried to read about Wabi Woolen long sleeve jerseys on the website but the text and pictures jump every few seconds making it impossible. Anyone else experience this?

I ended up getting a wolff ss jersey to fill out the rotation into summer weight stuff, been very happy with that as well. I'll def grab another que if the price is right.
