Hi All,
It's that time again...I'm getting snow fever. I'm planning on going to the MEC tonight and perhaps buy some long johns. I already own a pair of capilene light-weights and they are AMAZING...a bit on the expensive side, but well worth the price.
My choice is going to be between either capilene expedition weight long johns (fairly $$$, but I know they are uber comfortable) or MEC exp. weight long johns (better $$$, but not as comfy). I was debating if going with Merinos wool might be a good choice? Has anyone purchased a pair of long johns made of merinos wool? Any impressions? They are apparently very comfortable, don't keep odors, but are a bit pricy.
So far, I have to say that enough though Capilene 4 tops/bottoms are twice as expensive, I'm very tempted to purchase them, because I'm just so comfortable in my lightweight versions.
Thanks for any input!
