Message: [QUOTE="Cold_Collation, post: 10542806, member: 49715"] I've got a couple of merino wool tops - one from Smartwool, the other I bought from Armadillo Merino courtesy of an ARRSE 10 percent discount. Both are cut with with a zip neck. Not a rolled zip neck like a Norwegian but high enough to give warmth. Both are very comfortable next to the skin, even when sweating (I can't wear normal wool next to the skin), and - crucially - they still insulate when wet, don't get ridiculously heavy with moisture, and dry far more quickly than cotton. I'd only wear a Norwegian now to sit around the house in but that's about it. Merino is hardly a modern material but it's now far more accessible in terms of being able to get hold of it and in terms of price. [/QUOTE]
