New Zealand Meriono wool (Icebreaker)
 

"Merino is much finer than traditional wool, and is technically more complex than synthetics.

Tiny overlapping scales case the fibre. They're hydrophobic (water resistant), like tiles on a roof. Inside it's a different story - the fibre is highly absorbent.

Icebreaker merino is the most hydrophillic of all fibres and can absorb and release 10x more moisture than synthetics. Each fibre can absorb up to one third of its own weight in moisture without feeling clammy or wet to touch. Your icebreaker can then release this moisture into the atmosphere to keep you feeling warm and dry."

Im wearing it right now, a superfine 190 and a body fit 260.

There's nothing better than NZ wool, warms in the winter, cools in the summer!

Clothes are essential when it comes to survival, and they can be both functional and good looking.

The days of crappy "Nike" and "Adidas" clothes are over for me. Im only buying tactical (5.11 for example) and merino wool clothes from now on!
