Wool stuff, even though it looks pricey is not compared to all the other stuff ppl tend to buy.

I have icebreaker thirst because thatis all that is availble here in Hungary. I have smartwool and rei socks that I got last trip to the USA along with smartwool 3/4 length longjohn bottoms.

I love all these items.

if shipping to Hugary were not so exepsnive I would have far, far more wool.

I really want to replace ALL of my cothing with wool stuff.

I have a cashmere sweater somebody gave me. thin, thin, thing and so fricking warm it is amazing.

get to a good will store, look for cashmere and other wool sweaters, do not worry about color or style... if it fits and is not uncomfortable, buy it... you will never want anything else as a mid layer.

I wear my merino Ts, BTW year-round, I cycle to work everyday, I hike and ski in them, I even sleep in them from time to time. I usually wear the same T all week long!!!!! YES, I peddle to work, I sweat, I go home I sweat on the ride there... I walk the dog, I go shopping, etc all in the same T next to my skin fo ra week, no stink at all!!!
