Long sleeve merino shirts at costco for $20. True north brand. They are good bang for the buck. 4 pack of merino socks is $12. Fuck paying woolie boolie prices now.
Costco merino

Nice, thanks for the tip.
Cool! Which location? Willingdon?

Poco, 100% for the shirts. Not sure about the socks.
Socks are 70%. Same as woolie boolies
ORLY….will go check it out. Anytime I have seen merino there before it has been a fairly low percentage, thanks for the heads up.
I picked up couple of the tops last year. Nice and light, warm and not itchy. I don't have any other merino wool gear to compare it to, but at $20 per it seems a great price.

That's always been my issue. Wish I had got some now.
Can someone please pick me up a few shirts? I'm happy to Paypal. Won't be back in lower mainland til spring though.
6-pack for your troubles?
ALL my merino of various brands has holes in it, my latest Merino wool jersey I purposely used only for around town, it has never seen any harsh use but the elbow is wearing thru [HTML_REMOVED] there is a hole where my watch has worn thru the cuff, to its credit wool definatley does not stink like the plastic stuff can BUT poly wears WAAAAY better than merino IME so IF you will be close to a washing machine to sink the stink … go plastic
What I am a fan of is the very thin wool t-shirts cuz they are cheaper, wear em under your plastic layers which will take the wear/hide all the holes and still stop the stink
^^ exactly, wool is best as a base layer. Just not very durable unfortunately.
Weird I have a few icebreaker baselayers that have a few seasons of skiing and mtb use, no holes yet. Maybe the cheapo brands break down more quickly? I can't imagine the stuff at Costco is icebreaker calibre quality.

It does breakdown fairly fast. But for the price who cares. Get 18 months and toss it. Its a baselayer. I aint in no fashion show!
I am not hard on clothing but I got some brand of merino bought at MEC/MEC/icebreaker/smartwool ….every brand you can name and they all have holes
my dad thot the merino craze was great when he found out about merino being available again cuz they used to wear it in the tropics post WWII so we got him some, he put holes in his merino wool and all he was doing at 80yrs old was sitting in front of a TV
