There are only two kinds of people. People who know about merino wool and use it and people who don't. Truly amazing material.

wool is too itchy and coarse to be wearable - you will be in constant pain from the scratching against your skin - cotton - in contrast - feels like nothing at all

Why do some people find wool itchy? Is it some sort of allergy or hypersensitiveness?

Both.

Lanolin allergies are legit, but actual allergic reactions to wool are super rare. Cheap wool usually contains more lanolin than more expensive wool, and the individual wool fibers are more coarse. Merino contains very little lanolin and has very fine fibers. The later makes it better for people with lanolin allergies while the fine fibers make the material softer for people with sensitive skin.

Llama, alpaca, and vicuña are all lanolin free and have very fine fibers (that latter being insanely soft but also very expensive). Merino and alpaca feel about the same but I definitely let notice a difference between those and llama or cashmere.

I use a queen size 100% virgin wool blanket, and a long sleeve shirt that is merino wool. Great investments, I'll probably own them for the rest of my life.

you just need to have changes of clothing ready in your pack and in the car

>Cotton once wet, stays wet
eh mostly true but if you have it on as just one single outer layer and its windy enough (or you go in a car with ac) it can dry it off

>>2830294
I bring my own cotton blanket with me for sleeping cuz motel sheets are always poly-cotton - and yes that does suck if you get it wet

If you are not bringing sack upon sack of cotton goods with you innawoods - you are not hiking.

Cotton is heavy, doesn't reatin heat as well as other materials, doesn't dry as quickly as other materials, and essentially cotton sucks ass.

It is much more comfy than other materials (unless ur rich and can afford silk) - in which case - Hi daddy - call me!

sack upon sack of cotton clothes + laundromats / cabin rentals w/ laundry (also a lot of campgrounds and motels have laundry too) = supreme comfort

Actually the two kinds of people are those who know that wool has commercial grades, and consumers.

The worst "champaign", "merino wool", "carbide" has the highest mark up of all products and so is objectively the worst value. Merino is basically a brand name, the opposite of a performance measure.

I camp 12 months a year in Canada. In the winter when I camp everything I wear is made out of Marino wool. I buy a lot of my gear secondhand. Wool will retain heat when it is wet. Cotton is NOT suitable for cold weather. Instead of wearing anything cotton I layer up with moisturizer wicking fabrics. At night you need to take off any clothes you wore during the day because they will have moisture in them and moisture is a killer in cold weather. At night you need to sleep in fresh dry clothes.

Marino is great. Alpaca wool is also really good.

Down is another excellent insulator but it doesn’t retain heat when it is wet either.

I bought a 100% merino wool sweater online from Goodwill for under $20. It’s a gamble buying used online because you don’t know what kind of mongoloid owned it previously or if it’s been put in the drier.

It indicates the specific type of sheep from which the wool was sourced, and the consumer can be fairly confident that the individual wool fibers are around 15 microns in diameter. The next aspect to look for is fabric weight, which tells us how thick the garment is.

this is not the case for merino

wool is one of the best fabrics. it even keeps you warm while it's wet.
