Merino Wool Base Layer Deal / Recommendation?

[TN Larry]

My son has outgrown his base layers so having to wear mine. Any deals out there for quality merino wool? Or recommendations for the best? I think I currently have Badlands, Icebreaker, Kryvo, and Nomad all bought on a deal so not picky. I know several like Sitka, First Lite, Kui, etc. I'd rather not pay that much but not. Looking for light and medium weight non zip top and bottom.

I do not know of any deals per say. However I have been extremely pleased with Meriwool brand purchased on Amazon. A little savings there. I have only used the mid weight 250g.

The cheapest way to get good merino upper base layers is to go on EBay and search for merino wool sweaters. You can get them in crew neck and quarter zip. They are MUCH cheaper than paying the hunting outlet prices for the same material. You won't find them in camo, but that's not a big deal for a base layer.

Black Ovis is pretty good stuff

Black Ovid isn't the best but I've got some and it does the job

Can only speak to the ones I've used and have. First lite is the best there is imo. Minus 33 is a good cheaper option that's pretty decent

Black Ovis was pretty itchy for me and hard to wash without shrinking.

I'd second Meriwool for price

For quality I've tried nothing I like better than SmartWool

Also check Goodwills online auction site.

I'll try to verify tonight when I get home. If it has a model number or such on it.

Worth mentioning as I use them some and cannot complain. Check midwayusa for their brand. They had a sale on them last week. Heavyweight 320gr wool bottom was $43.

The black ovis keeled pull over is awesome and software than their other merino. I think I got mine on sale at camofire.com for around $80. I love it!

Sitka's merinos are on sale.

Sitka's merinos are on sale.

This is true. I heard that Sitka is discounting their merino's.

They need to. It isn't worth what they charge

I ended up ordering from Midway. I couldn't pass up the cheap prices, and they had great reviews. I've done good doing that so far hence the reason I have so many brands. Hope the luck continues.

I find some Smartwool on sale through REI occasionally. I also look at Goodwill and TJ Max/Marshall's especially when up in the North East.

No model/number to be found on it. Sorry. It looks like you have already found you a solution through Midway.

This is true. I have the ugliest argyle sweater in the world, 100% merino wool V neck . it was a quarter at goodwill.
