Any reason why merino arm warmers are better than synthetic?
They pack up a lot smaller, and I find them more comfortable than the standard Waffa warmers. However, they're not very windproof and of course are completely unwaterproof. A nice bit of kit to have, but the circumstances when you'll wear them are rather limited.
Despite my current spending ban I'm quite tempted by the Pro Team Light Wieght Gilet.... I do like the idea of the coral Brevet one, but can't really think what it will do that my wind jacket can't. Whereas having a very packable Gillette seems like a good investment.
