My only like is that the crew-neck, button placket, rear-pocketed pullover is just so great as a second layer over a thinner, and less itchey, merino base layer.
IME, layers of relatively thin wool are excellent for riding, wind notwithstanding, since they (1) keep you warm in a surprisingly wide range of temps and (2) breath so that you don't sweat as with an impermeable windbreaker. If the wind is harsh, just add another thin, knit layer. My own personal experience.
