What special care, I throw them in the wash with everything else without a problem. I have a closet and a couple drawers full of the stuff and I use it on a daily basis year round. Once I found out about Merino wool all of my synthetic stuff ended up at Goodwill.arjayes said:Nobody uses Merino wool? My first choice for socks, underwear and thermal layers. Only things I don't like are special care required and cost.
Do you have a recommended vendor for Merino underwear?bmac said:What special care, I throw them in the wash with everything else without a problem.

For motorcycle travel, and limited storage, it is hard to find something better than Merino wool. It is very comfortable and naturally antimicrobial so you can wear stuff for several days without issue. I have yet to find any synthetics that can compare.
I have both Icebreaker and Smartwool undies, long and short. I don't own any Ibex underwear but have several other pieces from them. All great stuff, but beware of fit. For tops I'm a size L in Smartwool and Ibex but XL in Icebreaker.fredz43 said:Do you have a recommended vendor for Merino underwear?
Thanks.
I have mostly Minus 33 stuff along with some Ibex as well along with a couple of Icebreaker t-shirts. Most of the Minus 33 gear was purchased at Hanks Clothing when they have their 20% sales. Smartwool is good stuff as well but I have yet to find it at the right price. It has taken me about 4 years but I probably have as much as I need for quite some time.fredz43 said:Do you have a recommended vendor for Merino underwear?

+1 for LD Comforts! Not cheap but they last for years and just work!DonB said:Cotton is the last thing you want. Holds moisture.
I use the Cyclegear Heat Out and LD Comfort shorts. Both work although the Heat Outs are too thin and after a 500-600 mile day seem like you have no layer there.
Conversely the LD is too thick.....Almost like wearing a wetsuit (not moisture but tight and restrictive).
Both vent and move moisture away from the skin VERY well.
An occasional stand on the pegs lets everything vent and dry out with a nice cooling sensation. Really limits or eliminates the need for Monkeybutt powder.
