    Kuiu peloton is a synthetic alternative to merino and far more durable.

    REI currently has their brand on sale for 30% off and Smartwool 25% off. Both brands are 100% merino wool.

    I loaded down the other day and wish it had been here when I got home today. If it gets any damn colder, I am buying a hoody.

    Those sitka heavy weight long john bottoms feel awesome.. those are my lounge wear around the house. The leighter weights I wear playing golf. I own several merino tops, an old smart wool shirt of mine is comfortable. I've got a rapha one that I don't mind either, because the collar is wide. You can't see it so it doesn't look like I'm wearing an undershirt. The sitka next to skin tops are kind of itchy, so was my last kuiu. I don't think it was the pelaton, but when I see it I'll look.

    Fluffy heaven, JLo’s vagina, I’ve heard both descriptions. Both are accurate.

    Yeah heat doesn't bother me, cold never did. I treated it like a state of mind, don't know if its got something to do with all of that trauma and blood loss I had years back or I'm getting old.. but I live in these things at the house and was even excited when my wife switched over to flannel sheets

    Old age isn't for pussies so we keep going or something something, but damn I kept it cold enough in the house to hang a deer. Now I can't get warm...

    Mine it up to like 68 or 69 now, I feel like at any moment my dad might drop by and say " you're acting like a woman" or " do you know how much that costs".

    Which ones did you get? I got the REI 150 top and bottom. I tried on the Smartwool 250 bottoms but I felt like those may be a little much for what we experience around here.

    Now that I think about it, the REI set may be 185. Regardless, they were much thinner than the Smartwool.

    I think I'd work barefoot in board shorts to be your age and do what you're doing. I don't know you but I'm damn happy for you and the decisions you've made thus far. You're more mature as a teenager than I was in my 30s.

    I got some off Amazon. Minus 33 320s. They are legit. I can't afford decent hamburger buns so I sure as hell can't afford first lite or Sitka

    How did I ever survive cotton white waffle long jons under blue jeans, cotton sweatshirt, my heavy insulated Camo coveralls and green rubber boots with yellow laces at the top? If you know you know. For those of you scratching your head you’re under 40 for sure.

    I have first lite kiln and I have the minus 33 off of amazon. Both work well and I haven't been able to tell much difference. First lite is actually cheaper right now from their website.
