>>2501468I discovered wool this past year and I've been on a wool buying spree ever since. Merino base layers are amazing for both activewear and sleepwear. Wool blankets are amazing for sleeping under and staying cozy while sitting around. Thick 100% wool jackets beat the fuck out of down for any situation where it might get wet, burned or torn, and are much better suited for stuff like hunting and fishing. Obviously the downside of wool is that it's heavy, so making anorexic gram counters seethe could be seen as an added bonus.
But just be aware of the quality and thickness of the wool you're buying because it varies a hell of a lot both in terms of softness and insulation. There's a very high correlation between price and quality when it comes to wool, regardless of brand; cheap wool blends tend to suck.
