I never figured people's experience would be so different. Kind of interesting.

I am a died in the wool.... uhmmm... wool lover, and have been forever. I rarely wear a cycling jersey, but when I do, my favorite is a wool Swobo. Other than that, I have and wear a lot of wool. Ibex long underwear tops in different weights as shirts or undershirts, wool long john bottoms in the winter, socks, drawers, sweaters, a few hoodies, hats, gloves... this list really goes on for quite awhile. I also have some much prized Loden Tracht (traditional and modern) from Austria and Bayern (I have family there, and go there often), and a few Filson wool whatnots I've had since my late teens in Seattle, some handed down from relatives who had them many years before passing them on. I even still have some of the well-worn woolens the Army issued me back in the 80's, which saw a lot of field duty, but are mostly not too ragged, and still going strong.

Personally, I find it much more durable, comfortable, easy to keep up with, and far less stinky than cotton or synthetics. In my opinion, with proper layering and ventilation, I don't get the wet clammy feeling I do with synthetics, and of course nowhere near as bad as cottons, which absorb and retain water.

Guess we all have to figure out what works best for us.
