the best wool pants I have ever seen are from Sweden, they are more wind proof than anything I have found. I paid $10 for two new pair. when we are on Canadian wilderness canoe trips, I start out the day with white wool longjohns under a Filsen wool shirt, I am more comfortable in hot sunlight than those that strip down when the temps go up. If I wear the blue poly types I get hot when the sun comes out. It is important for me that the wool is pure merino wool, no blend, the looser weave Pendleton shirts are really comfortable in warmer conditions with a light merino wool Tshirt.
