The more I wear the latest Merino wool offerings the more amazed I am. They feel delightful on you. Hard to believe, but the scratchy factor is near as zero as makes no difference. And how it works! Whether you're in high-activity mode, or in slug mode, you're completely comfortable. I make no extravagant claims regarding Style (I'm a guy, after all) but I think you look pretty good in it too. They aren't cheap, but they are value-laden like few other clothes I've seen. Highly recommended.
