BlackOvis Base Layers

So I use the lightweight stuff and it feels great. Have 3 of them and they’ve all help up great so far. The midweight one sizing is weird and it’s a bit scratchy compared to the lightweight. I still use it but I had to size up and it still seems a little short on me. Definitely warm enough though.

Haven't tried the BO stuff just because of the mixed reviews on comfort. I've tried just about everything else, with FL being the best IMO. With that said, I ordered some MerinoTech off Amazon in light and mid-weight to try and found it just as comfortable and warm. I can't do itchy, scratchy next to skin and this stuff is great merino at about half the price of the big players. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Mine's going on 4-5 years with zero issues.

I ordered some of their mid weight bottoms and was really pleased, too. Plus, you got a free pair of merino socks with the deal!

Free socks I say! Shows you the astronomical margins on these things...

Forgot to mention the free socks! Lol that's a nice bonus, they're decent socks too.

I have quite a bit of BO merino.
I hunt in it... a lot.
During winter, I wear their bottoms almost daily. They get worn a lot and washed a lot.
Zero problems, zero holes.

I have some that is several years old and still perform like new.

Far exceeded my expectations.

I have never noticed it being rough or "scratchy" like an above post described.

I suppose men are made different nowadays as I see posts about "comfortable underwear", most comfortable t-shirts, jeans, packs, socks triggers, etc.

I never gave it consideration and have really only found one or two brands of T's that were similar to wearing a new canvas outfitter tent across my nipples.

I once wore a poly T under a wool flannel with canvas bibs over those and talk about nip burn, yee-ouch!
