Ive had the Kuiu Ultra Merino 125 and first lite wick which is 150 weight. The kuiu barley lasted me one season and was full of holes. I have found the wool of the first lite to be far more comfortable than the kuiu and has held up to abuse significantly better.

Same, I have kuiu, first light and black ovis merino and FL is far better than the others. Kuiu is to thin and shirts are too short and just isn’t as soft. Feels cheaper.
black ovis feels more like spandex

I have their vapor wool t-shirts. They aren’t a high % of wool, but they are a great cut and my favorite casual t-shirt. Comfortable year round, have enough wool to get the benefits of the property, but not enough that would work for me on a serious backcountry or hunting trip.

I absolutely love my FL Merino top's. The lightweight baselayer is my go to piece that I wear on most everything I do from fishing in the spring, late season CO rifle to breaking Ice for geese. Its super comfortable, durable and dries quickly. I have tried a few others but none of them had all of that in one package.
