Wool is great as an outdoor adventure fabric. My big complaint is that wool and velcro (the hook side specifically) are _mortal enemies_ and wool will not survive even the most brief encounter with the other. It's seriously like matter and anti-matter meeting, the wool gets shredded and rips apart in an instant. Be super careful with wool around hook and loop fastener!

I just now mashed three merino T's (a 100%, a blend, a wrapped nylon core) with velcro, and aside from a slight tackiness, I only got grab on seam stitching.
