Excellent stuff, cheers :-)

Does a Merino wool base layer work well with a synthetic fleece mid-layer, or do you lose the wicking benefits of the Merino wool?

Not at all, a merino wool base layer will work well with any breathable mid layer.

Thanks, Gareth, for the feedback. Another question: why is cashmere (warm, comfy, and light) not used as a base layer instead of merino wool? Is it because cashmere is more expensive?

Hey no worries! Cashmere is a lovely fabric but it is still itchy as a fabric next to your skin. The reason why Merino works so well is that the actual fibres are a lot smaller, and softer than normal wool so don't get in to your pores and create that itchy feeling.
