C Lockett · 1 month agoDoes a Merino wool base layer work well with a synthetic fleece mid-layer, or do you lose the wicking benefits of the Merino wool?

Gareth_Webtogs · 1 month agoNot at all, a merino wool base layer will work well with any breathable mid layer.

clockett · 1 month agoThanks, 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?

webtogs · 1 month agoHey 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.
