Base layer?

[tonymoe]

What are you guys rolling with on your base layer? I've used under armor compression for the last few years and I'm thinking about making a change maybe to Merino wool.

Merino merino merino! I have underarmor I and won't wear it hunting anymore. I prefer the core4element wool and first lite. Doesn't smell after one or heck even five days of wearing it like ua or polys you just have t be careful washing and drying it.

Merino all the way.  UA is useless in hunting applications to me.

I like Icebreaker and Smartwool Merino!

So I'm curious now as to how to take care of it washing and drying? Not so much at home but in the field if you needed to?

Try merino wool, you won't go back to ua for hunting

While my son, daughter, and I do still own and wear synthetics (like UA), we prefer merino wool for all of the reasons already stated, plus it isn't any more expensive than UA.  We own Icebreaker, Core 4, Russell Outdoors, and some Stoic.

Thanks for the heads up.  Just cost me a bunch of cash.

I use merino from first lite and Core4.  All good stuff.
