    Merino wool is fantastic stuff. I used to get such STINK on multi day backpacking trips with synthetic undies. Now, I *only* backpack in merino wool. Super comfy and NO stink.

      Thanks for your comment HJ. I value your input, and I’m with you on the merino wool use for backpacking.

    I wear merino t-shirts and underwear on all my multi-day trips. This stuff is amazing, four days in the Sierras with no stink!

    I always hike in a thin merino wool t-shirt – good wicking and not smelly like polypro. I also only wear wool or a blend of wool-synthetic socks – much nicer than cotton and much less smelly.
    I’ve got a zip up hoodie from Icebreaker that looks good (I get lots of compliments on it), performs well as a midlayer, and is great for travel.
    Smartwool and Icebreaker are my go-to brands.

    I have several merino pieces including socks, shirts, pants and shorts. I like the lightweight shirts for the gym and the silk weight for the trail. Great stuff.

    I have recently started using merino wool socks, a great improvement over the old school rag wools socks.

    I like the Icebreaker short sleeve 150 or the long sleeve 200 for base layer, the 260 for mid/insulating or top layer and Smartwool midweight or trek weight socks.

    This email came across now but says it was a December contest. Is it running again or is this an old one?

      Sorry about that. I wanted to shared detailed pics of the neck gaiter, so I re-published this post. This is an old giveaway.
