Merino wool

[Buckin Bronco]

For our NOMAD Sapwood, we use 100% merino in the body, but we use merino/polyester/lycra inserts which keep the fabric close to your chest (in case you want to shoot your bow). I find that our weight of Merino is perfect to keep you warm.

Merino is awesome. Having sold base layers for 16 years, merino wool is the way to go regardless of the brand. It will keep you super warm and does not hold odor as bad as polyester. The major con with all merino wool, is merino (thin) baselayers/underwear don't hold up to washing as well as polyester base layers. I purchased several pairs of Minus33 merino boxer briefs for my sheep hunt last year and I was disappointed that they wore out quickly. This is a fact of merino wool regardless of the brand.

So does the merino base layer fit tight like under armour? I am interested but can't stand tight fitting clothes.
