Merino Base layers

The wool won't retain the BO as the synthetics do.
I think its warmer as well.
Pick your brand almost all those mentioned will be really close to one another in getting the job done.

I purchased a set of the Black Ovis Merino wool, they fit good and feel good but thats about all I can say at this point since its to hot to do more then try them on right now.

Take a look at merino wool base layers on sierra trading post. Good deals to be had there, but pay attention to percentage of wool content.

I use several from Icebreaker and the Smartwool one look very good as well.

There are several non-hunting brands that have great merino products that don't charge a premium because they offer camo colors. Stoic is another quality merino brand.

Another + for Black Ovis. Durable, Warm and best of all Affordable! They served me well last season and I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. As said, watch Camofire for the sale.

+1 Minus 33, I try to purchase a few pieces a year. I have a few black Ovis tops that I will be testing out this season as well. They appear to be great quality.

I purchased some Minus 33 stuff for a hunt in a couple weeks. It appears to be well made stuff. I'm pleased with it so far. Can't wait to actually try it in the field.

Another vote for black Ovis if your looking for something affordable. I wore the boxers and base layer shirt the last two years and have been super comfortable.

Smartwool is good if you can find it on sale. I dont have to have camo and run browns in it.

I love my first lite stuff

I have been running Kuiu. I really like the design of the bottoms. Can take them off without taking off pants if you get over heated.

Minus33 has been the most durable for me.

I wear Ice Breaker wool t-shirts and boxers from mid Sept through March usually - pretty good sales "can" be found occasionally, January is a prime time

I definitely agree with this for their merino blend boxers. I’m a size 34 waist and 5’10” 190lbs and carry my weight in my legs and the size L was waaaay too tight all around. I ended up going with First Lite Wick boxers and love them. In the FL I had to go with medium as the large was too big. Even if the fit was the same for both brands, I would definitely prefer the FL

First Lite is a great company too ! He supports BCHF which is a huge thumbs up ….

Good tips for a beginner stocking up on wool products.

OH YA ! forgot about the KUIU bottoms - NOBODY else came up with the zip off bottoms, it is HUGE

Black Ovis Marino on camofire.com. Does run about a size small so size up.
