I always found merino cold feeling on the skin somehow. In long johns and tops. Cant explain it.

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.

I bough a bunch of the $20 100% merino from Costco last year. You cannot beat this stuff at that price.

I also have a bunch of icebreaker casual and performance wear. The icebreaker is definitely higher quality, and you pay the price.

4 pack of merino socks is $12. Fuck paying woolie boolie prices now.

i looked into these today, as a co-worker was making an after-work costco run

apparently the socks everyone loved so much last year have been replaced by thinner, lower quality stuff this year, and fit small: one guy with size 10.5 complained that the L was too tight, and that's as big as they come

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

Not always the case with Costco. Sometimes they have things that you know for sure is a quality item, usually expensive product but there it is at Costco for cheap.

I recently bought one of these shirts from Mark's, paid close to $50 all in, but oh em gee its so good. I have been riding with it in sub 10 degree weather and its kept me toasty. Stays warm even when you sweat. Plus, it fits snug but doesn't look like a skinsuit.

I also picked up one of those merino blend half zips from Crapco. Its okay, but not great. Worth the sub $20 though.
