Merino Clothing (base layers, etc)

talking about merino wool or just wool in general, i found these socks that look like they really do the job.

socks

Liner

from what i can gather, keeping your feet warm you need a liner, be it silk or whatever. the brasher seems a well thought out piece of kit.

not a fan of thick older style wool socks, the thin fine merino is where its at. just as warm!

which is where it was originated

Suck my plums.

Once you've finished.

haha!

Gap have a big sale on merino...no idea what it's like for cycling, however. It is italian though.

Just ordered some winter longs with integrated merino sleeveless top, and a merino jersey with windproof microfleece front.

Fingers crossed it'll be as good as it looks.

Just need it to arrive from kiwiland :(

had my embers gillet a few days now. nice, but they need a backing bit behind the zip so the draft doesn't come through, also it helps stop the zipper rubbing on your neck at the top.

All your base layers are belong to us

Huh?

Sod cycling, that works for the fetishist too.

I've been wearing my Chocolate Fish base layer for a week now, no washing, in the pissing rain and then drying it and wearing again, just to see if I can make it stink, shrivel and die. It hasn't. It's also very warm. I'm very impressed with this sheepy goodness.

i got mine free from work, wear them pretty much everyday

anyone like the kathmandu base layers.

+1 more for the chocolate fish stuff, really really nice

Have ordered one of these - to have a spare Merino layer
