Especially for socks during exercise. I find it helps keep my feet dry much more than cotton oe synthetics.

- cmrdporcupine 8y agoLast year I discovered the joy that is merino wool ski clothes. A friend had a pro-discount on Icebreaker and I stocked up before a ski trip. Excellent stuff. Here's a good/entertaining video that compares synthetic to merino for ski layers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh8BFytupwA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh8BFytupwA His conclusion is that the synthetic was just as warm, but the merino wool did a better job of dissipating .. aromas... and stayed 'clean' longer. It's unfortunate that a lot of the 'wool' out there is still blended with synthetics for cost or supposed-technical reasons.
