good call… i do love a good PSA 8)

oh FFS…. 😉

I never had any merino, nike dri-fit etc I find are good enough ??

Please tell me what I’m missing? Genuine question … ta

merino is warm when its cool and cool when its warm, and being naturally antibacterial doesn’t smell if repeatedly worn without washing (eg. trekking/camping).

It doesn’t wick like synthetic so if you are a heavy sweater avoid it as it will hold on to moisture, and then you will get cold when you stop exerting yourself.

I’ve seen detractors on here refer to “Emperor’s new clothes” but Munqe Chick and I must own more than 20 merino tops between us, ranging from budget Planet X and Aldi base layers to premium Rapha, Howies, Vulpine, Finisterre etc.

And if you dare wear Howies at the same time as Nike you will cause a tear in the space-time continuum…

+1 all of the above from crash.

Agreed, they’re not quite as ‘performance’ as the nicer synthetics and can get overwhelmed by really sweaty activity but they’re super comfy and much better for wearing all day.

Having owned merino from many many brands I’m also happy to say Howies are the best of the bunch.

Pretty much as above i find them great for trecking and camping but almost dangerous if its cold and you sweat hugely during running or cycling.
