Merino wool base layer

[cmwhitmoyer]

I used to get the Omni-wool base layers at Sam's Club and Costco but since the Covid crisis they are no longer available. Can anyone recommend a brand to replace them. They used to cost around $20 for top or bottoms. I am not sure if I am ready to lay out more than $100 per set. I work outside so would need multiple sets.

Can’t say much about these brands but I will say I have both black ovis and first lite base layers and the first lite is way more comfortable.

Meriwool. I have found I don't get the "scratch" others have

Minus 33. Spendy but comfy. I bought all of mine used.

REI makes a set of merino unders that hold up well. Honestly, I prefer the smartwool, it’s worth the money in my opinion

Smartwool for my base layers.

Sierra Trading Post has a bunch of 150 weight Smartwool right know for $35 per upper/lower.

Spot on…..I really like the FL base layers and hated to see them disco some of the thin base layer products as they were my first choice. I have the BO too and Kuiu and they are both good but First Lite has a very nice product and what I reach for first. I use the 3/4 length bottoms when skiing too.

If I remember correctly, the Black Ovis has less merino, so probably explains the noticeable difference.

I just ordered Kuiu 160 bottoms and will see how they compare this winter.
