I've been using First Lite Aerowool mineret all week. It doesn't stink and dries fairly quick - I like it. I'm probably going to go with Kuiu Peleton 200 over a synthetic base layer for my western hunting. I'm finding if I'm not dry within an hour of stopping I get cold. The Aerowool under the Kuiu Ultra Merino 210 works but am finding the ultra Merino 210 holds moisture too long when sweating. It 'cooks' dry too slow as FormD says.

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
