I don't have that problem with merino (staying damp). I mean, yes it remains slightly damp to the touch but it does keep you snug, which is the key thing.
Of the synthetics, the only one I really like and can live with is Patagonia Capilene. Very nice on the skin, wicks extremely well, very durable, and no longer term smell problems, although you can't wear it as much as merino between washes.
Can't stand HH thermals, find them extremely uncomfortable and, after some use, the odour is impossible to get rid of. Plus super unstylish IMO!
