I wear wool, it is second to none. But you have to get the good stuff. And yeah it ain't cheap. I wear King of the Mountain and I ain't rich. I have been picking up a piece every year until you have the outfit. It is definetely warm even when wet and its cool when it's warm out.Itis windproof, and blood washes right out!King of the mountain carries great warranty as long as you take care of it and don't dry it and shrink it to your kids size. If you are on the market for wool, you have to give them a look. The other brand is Sleeping Indian which is a guy who use to work for King of the Mountain. In my opinion King of The Mountain is the BEST!Here is a link. Read up.
