After elk hunting in CO, and deer hunting SD, TX and OK over the 40 years I've come full circle and I'm now using merino wool base layers, wool pants, and wool second layers. The only synthetic clothing I'm using is a synthetic Gore-Tex Pro shell jacket. Wool is quiet, warm (even when wet) and IMHO is better at helping to regulate body temps than any other material. It's not as light but, the other attributes of wool more than offsets the weight. I WILL not got back to synthetics.
