There's a chill in the air, and if you're out for a bike ride this weekend the chances are you'll 1) be wrapping up in long sleeves and tights, and 2) treating yourself to a hot drink afterwards.

What perfect timing then, for Isadore's launch of the Hot Chocolate Thermerino - a cycling jersey inspired by a warming mug of cocoa.

The Thermerino is a long-sleeve jersey that blends merino wool and fleece to keep you toasty on winter rides. The Hot Chocolate edition adds a few interesting design quirks such as elbow patches, together with a full length zip, regulation pockets and cable routing for your earphones.

The brown and mint green colour scheme pictured won't be everyone's cup of cocoa, but might appeal to the cyclocross crowd (you'll hardly notice the mud) or, hmm, fans of Ag2R La Mondiale.

No? Blue and grey versions are also available.

Here's what Isadore have to say:

"Autumn is a time to not only dress warmer, but also find time to cosy-up with a hot drink around the fire place after the ride. As we are active folks here at Isadore we have instead combined the two in one sensuous piece of cycling apparel - Hot Chocolate Thermerino.

"Our classic Thermerino Jersey, in a combination of the finest Merino wool fibers, with luxurious fleece on the inside, blended with the technical beauty of Elastane, has now been fully updated and re-fitted for Autumn/Winter 2015.

"Designed to keep to you warm and cosy for a long day in the saddle Thermerino Jersey is now available in savoury Hot Chocolate combined with Mint Green minimalistic visibility decals on the back and front side to enhance your road safety.

"Like a scrumptious plate of chocolate with mint lashings the Thermerino Jersey, also available in Castle Grey and Evening Blue, will not only keep you visible on the road, but equally warm when you battle the weather Autumn will throw at you."

We'll have the Thermerino in for testing shortly, so look out for a review soon.
