I have a variety of materials and weights, and to be honest I don't have a preference, nor find much difference. I guess I am just wierd that way.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot

I’m happy with my mons royale leggings since they are so comfortable. Minus 33 has good shirts and sales
Sent from my iPhone using TGR ForumsI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

I have an Icebreaker long sleeve 150 that is at least a decade old (when all their stuff was 100% wool and they didn't have a catalogue of 100's (1000's?) of sku's) and was worn 4 days a week, every week, for at least half of those 10 years, as my bike commute shirt. It got washed once a week and hung dried. It has a couple holes in it near the sleeve ends from wear and one on a shoulder from a thorn. Otherwise it might be about a 100 weight by now, but it's in shockingly great shape considering how much wear it has seen. I have a few newer Icebreakers and they wear out very, very fast. If you get the ones with about 4% lycra they last way longer.
So per some of the above info, I'd go with NOT the most mainstream brand for wool. There are huge differences in quality and that old Icebreaker clearly shows how long it can last when done well.
Def some good things about synthetic over wool (ie to me, synthetic wicks better/does not hold as much sweat), but wool every time for me just because no micro plastics into Earth's waters every time you wash it. I'm just trying to consider mother earth more these days is all, even if it's probably too late.

That hole in the back - it took me a while but I realized when I take off my shirts that’s where my thumb goes to pull the shirt over my melon.
Wife says take shirt off like a woman, I asked for multiple demonstrations, etc.
Something like this:

Total convert to merino for pretty much anything I do outside (bc and resort skiing, rock and ice climbing, running, cycling, Drysuit scuba diving…) but only for base layers. I get the thinnest I can possibly find. Never above 200 weight. Ideally 100-150. On top of that I go synthetic or down based on conditions. For me, the advantages of merino fade as you go thicker or get off of the skin. Thicker layers weigh more, dry slower, cost more. If you need more insulation, throw a synthetic over your 100wt base layer rather than getting a 250+ weight merino…see also aforementioned durability concerns.
A light weight long sleeve merino zip neck + Houdini type wind shirt has an insane temperature range for the weight (if not the most durable combo).

I switched from wool to synthetic because it was cheaper 🤷
90% of skiing is just looking cool

Merino FTW. I run hot AF though with the corresponding stink. 150-200 weight. Use em for MTB (park and trail), hike, backpack, old man mountaineering, and all things skiing. Pack an extra T for the transition if temps won’t auto-dry. Shit falls apart over the years after heavy use, but IMO that just makes it more breathable.

Occasionally you can get cheap wool/poly blends - at least one of the megamarts sold them for the same price (beer difference) as their synthetic offering - but the main difference is durability especially for the thin base layer stuff. Wool < wool blend < poly in durability. Reverse that for stink

I got a sample top from Brynje a few years ago. Wore it touring a few times, works fine, but it's just too fucking ridiculous to wear as a not-joke.
