i'm got very interested in this after reading "Insulation: First the Body, Then the Home" by low tech magazine (https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2011/02/insulation-first-t...).

i'll be getting at least one when october comes and want to see if that really helps when dealing with low temperatures and thermal body regulation.

is there a particular brand you'd recommend?

No, sorry, I just bought some generic brand on Amazon that was a good deal. I just like Merino Wool due to it's properties and it just feels very nice on the skin (no rashes, irritations, anything like that; just a nice, soft feeling)

Love this one! It's such a crap shoot with synthetic wear, some stink as soon as you put them on while other are actually end up almost as good as wool.
