Midway is having a bonus sale on First Lite merino wool base layers right now. I know Kuiu is having a 15% of sale coming up (Jan 10). I've never owned either brand of merino. I have seen some complaints with the Kuiu stuff - a bit scratchy, but none with First Lite. I'm leaning First Lite.

Also, as to sizes, I'm always right on the cusp of a medium-large. I have a 41-41.5" chest. Interweb reviews seem to indicate a medium in the First Lite base layers would be the correct call. For those that own First Lite - what say you?

Thanks.
