"When it comes to moisture, temperature and personal odor management in the outdoors, wool tops the performance ratings. With a little scientific tweaking bringing more consistent fiber diameter, wool cannot be beaten as today's fiber of choice in thermal underwear.“
“I have worn i-merino undergarments for two weeks straight on high altitude expeditions and am constantly amazed at the complete lack of that awful, stale ‘thermal odor’ which one has come to associate with long periods of wearing synthetics in the mountains. In addition the garments seem to get softer with age and don't pill nearly as badly as synthetics."
