I am apparently allergic to merino-- couldn't tolerate the shirt I tried on-- itched like no other.

No, my dads stuff from duluth trading company. So i dont know how its classified, cheap or not???
×2 on minus 33 being soft. They are by far the softest against the skin layer that I have owned.Try some of the brands I mentioned...huge difference, much softer and zero scratchiness.
Personal preference, I just don't like it when I stank real bad for days on end and to continue stinking and sharing a tent with someone for 3 more weeks. And then stink up my sleeping bag too. Ever spend 25 days straight in a tent and in the same clothes? Having minimal-stinking base layers is kinda nice. I can get away with 7 days on my merino stuff, easy, before a wash is warranted (I pack 3 changes of boxers for 25-day AK trips when drying laundry may not be an option). I have a ton of capilene and its great, but doesn't come into the wilderness with me.
Not a big deal if you're going on a long weekend trip of course.
