I have come full circle and started wearing wool again, although I still use a Gore-Tex Pro shell jacket. I wear merino base layers and usually a wool sweater as a second layer. I have a pair of First Lite Kanab merino wool pants and for colder weather, a pair of Cabelas Superwash 24 oz (heavy) wool pants. It is probably just me, but whether I'm still hunting, or chasing elk in CO, wool just seems to help in regulating my body temperature better than some of the hi-tech fabrics. I do wish wool pants were lighter, but I guess it is an acceptable trade-off for comfort.
