...merino!
Out for the first ride of 2010 last night. Still some hard packed snow lurking on the trails, it was bloody freezing and there was a sleety shower or two for good measure. But I am well impressed with the new merino wool base layer that Santa left under the tree. Toasty warm and it did some magic with the buckets of sweat that I can produce under a gore tex shell. Never felt cold or clammy at all, even after taking the camelbak off and putting it back on again, which is usually a fairly unpleasant experience for a few seconds. Luverly. Believe the hype!
Only one complaint - the skin tight cut isn't very flattering, so this'll never be the only layer I wear on the trail...

So impressed with my Baa Baa base layer I bought another one. As above, the absence of claminess makes it very appealing if like me you sweat like a Geordie in a maths test. Take it off after 5 days biking and it smells of...wool0 -
my SealSkinz ultragrip gloves werepretty good too. Not coincidentally, I believe them to have a lining that's at least partly merino. Bring on the inclement weather!!!0

i like the close cut fit and wear it as my only layer during summer.Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.
