Can anyone post a link where the merino wool items can be purchased. I have been looking for ages for it.
Amazon.com

I own 2 sets of these. Icebreaker or firstlite also make good wool. They key is getting the highest possible wool percentage. Lots of companies make it cheaper by adding 50-60% polyester etc which defeats the whole purpose
This isn't base layer, but growing up I always thought Carhartt was king...wrong. Down jackets are worth their weight in gold. I prefer Columbia jacket and columbia omni heat bibs.
Thanks for the link
Base layers are great and all, but what really makes the difference for me is windproof outerwear.
I have a thin wind/waterproof scentlok jacket that makes all the difference in the world when the wind isn't cutting you like a knife.
Academy has some nice looking wind suits, and the BPS 100mph suits are very good if you've got the money.

I got some from cabelas that are getting the job done for me. I wear them on my skin then layer as much as needed for the weather. Tee shirt,fleece, and hoody. Then top off with a coat. Most days in the month of March, I’ll take the coat off and just have it with me in case I need it. Always remember, you can take clothes off but if you don’t have them with you, you can’t put them on.
This is so right. Merino wool base layers are the best of the best. I’ve hunted and fished all my life and back when cotton long Johns were popular and pretty much all we had i can remember some really cold trips. I have used Smartwool, Icebreakers and Minus33
I use these on the Appalachian Trail also. I use the mid weight for hunting and fishing and lightweight for backpacking.
