The perfect base layer, merino wool wicks away sweat, retains heat even when wet, and fights odor. But finding one that's durable (and not scratchy!) can be a challenge.
Why not? An extra-fine merino wool base layer got me through a 24-hour Adventure race. If you’re worried about durability, check out the surface-hardened thermal wool blends in some of the Voormi garments. The High-E Hoodie I tested is pretty tough and resistant to snags (and my old frenemy, Velcro).
I want wool. Wish I could use it orienteering.

Thank you for the insight. I will.
Thank you for the Christmas gift ideas!
You're very welcome! I hope you consider treating yourself, too. :)
