So- does Merino wick moisture away?

[Jerry Jeffer]

You can't beat wool. It's the perfect fiber especially if it gets wet you will stay warm.

I do like Orion. I use silk next to the skin and wool over that. Fortunately, down here in Georgia, it seldom gets cold enough that I need both, but when it does, this is a good combination. Now... if I can just keep my feet a tad warmer.

yes merino will also wick moisture away,as does silk. I also layer silk first then wool. Wintersilks sells heavy silk tops and bottoms, pretty pricey but last longer than cabelas and much heavier.

I really like the minus 33 products.  Good stuff

If you get caught out in the woods in a bind        , I would rather have the military ones.  Cutting the legs off of silk thermals would not do a very good clean up job an wool is expensive...

HEY, I am just saying there are things you gotta think about!!

Minus 33 merino wool is GREAT stuff! It doesn't itch and it keeps you warm. I went on their website and did the "dealer locator" and find out that a golf shop, of all places, in the area carried them. Got a great price. The lady asked me if I was going to wear them golfing in Oregon. I told her I would be wearing in Oregon...just not golfing! haha

Like mentioned above...smart wool is the absolute best that I have ever found.  But BOTH sets...the light stuff and the heavy stuff.  Read the directions...and do NOT mix cotton with it.  You will stay warm.

I like silk when I'm active but when I'm going to be sitting, it's Ulfrotte Woolpower 200 (right against the skin).

[BTW]

The Regulator stuff from Patagonia is great. Has waffle pattern on the inside that traps warm air. Works great.

patagonia next to the skin then wool power.
