Following with interest.
I had to give up synthetic base layers because they drove me crazy itching. Merino has never had the same effect. I realize its potential to hold moisture but for me, that is a much better down side than the cutaneous manifestations.
I will say, my casual wear Marmot 800 down jacket is way warmer than any of my synthetic downs (FL, Sitka).
