If that is what the people want, than that is what they get! Keep in mind that I live in normally dry, hot and smoggy inland Southern California. I'm not used to precipitation. That's why today's ride was so cool for me. I know, I know, just another afternoon in Seattle...
That said, I wear Swobo wool jersies year round. They're perfect _for me_ in the heat of the summer and the chill of the fall and winter (hey, it was 56F today!). A SS jersey is fine for 3/4 of the year. I don't ride when it's pouring, only drizzling, and that is pretty rare in itself. Today's ride was a bit more than that, and I wasn't really planning on getting too wet. Anywho, pretty simple, I have both the long sleeve and short sleeve wool T-shirts that Riv sells (sold?) as a base layer, Swobo long sleeve on top. I also have a really light Descente windbreaker that I put on for the downhills. Kucharick shorts and either Woolie Warm knee warmers or Kucharick leg warmers (today). REI short wool socks <http://www.rei.com/product/712774>and a Walz cap <http://www.walzcaps.com/>. Oh, and Swobo wool gloves. So long/short of it: wool, wool, and more wool<http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=wool%20head&w=64942209%40N00>. My jersey was quite saturated wet, but the base layer was nice and dry. Feet and head were dry as well. If it was really pouring, I would have been less happy. So there ya' go, my $.02 worth of wool advice!
