In lieu of running w/ a jacket during the winter, will this keep me warm enough in 30 - 40 degree weather? I usually do 5 - 6 miles so I don't want to overheat but at the same time I want something that'll keep me warm. Also how does this compare to merino wool?

The Capilene 3 is a great top and should keep you warm (and dry) on your runs in the 30's and 40's. Some people might like a light jacket, but personally I run in similar temps with a Cap 3 top and a beanie and I'm comfortable. Merino's great in it's own right, but the Capilene 3 will be much more durable over time, and it handles moisture a lot better so you'll stay drier.
