Just a question. I have been reading about how to REALLY stay warm and when it comes to wool, Marino wool is prefered. Is it warmer than other wool. I know there are othere types of wool but don't know the difference. Also, 20 bucks for a shirt and I would be there too. An underAemour is about 75 bucks around here.
I'm no expert on Merino but here goes my understanding based on moderate experience: Merino wool is comfortable wearing next to skin. It has the advantages of wool without the discomfort of most wool. Others may have better explanation.
Wab... yes, I'd buy Merino bottoms, long or short, if Costco brings out the rest of the ensemble.
FWIW, I stopped at Cabela's north of Seattle today and their Merino wool long sleeve T's (with a short neck zipper) were $154 for a two tone "comfort zone" version and a cheaper simple version was on sale for $100.
