Underwear Question
Long underwear question that is.
I am planning an Elk hunting trip to Colorado this November. In looking at my current list of gear I decided to buy some new long underwear.
I am looking at getting a few sets of Merino wool long underwear.
The question is should I get the 100% Merino wool variety or something along the lines of 80% Merino wool 15% Polyester 5% Lyrca???
Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the pros and cons of each???
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Steve

I have not heard a hunter mention Capilene. It was designed for ice climbing years ago. It is hands down the best long underwear I have ever worn. It comes in 3 weights, to cover any situation.

I can not stand wool on my skin, so I have always used Polyproplene LJ's, socks and have been wearing Helly Hansen garmets for a number of years with no complaints. Warm, wicks moisture and light weight!
