I got a merino wool mesh baselayer this morning, and wore it on a rode this afternoon.
this one: https://us-nordiclife.glopalstore.co...irt-with-inlay I am happy to report that it works as advertised. I use the variation with short sleeves (in combination with removable arm warmers) for commuting purposes. Long sleeves too warm for me. |

Super Thermo is not merino, but you’re right: it is awesome!
I use the variation with short sleeves (in combination with removable arm warmers) for commuting purposes. Long sleeves too warm for me. I am thinking of getting the synthetic one too, however. It might be even better. Not sure. Price is a bit more attractive compared to the wool. Would probably be more durable too. While I have not had a durability issue with the wool one so far, I treat it gently. Hand wash in the sink. Roll up in a towel method to get most of the water out, then air dry. When taking it on and off you'll want to be careful not to stretch it unduly. After quite a few uses at this point (probably a good 20-25 or so), I am really happy with it. It seems like it increases the comfort range of whatever I have on over top of it. |
Yes, I notice merino provides comfort in a wider temperature range than other stuff!

It's not night and day, but it IS noticeable to me. I think the mesh helps keep your skin a little drier, and if the next layer beyond the mesh gets a bit damp, it's not in direct contact with your skin, limiting the heat conduction problem of a wet baselayer. The overall problem of sweat and freeze cycle of those of us riding in mountainous terrain is lessened. |
Interesting points, [MENTION=147369]Steamer[/MENTION]. Thank you. Next time I need something, I'll consider that mesh thing. And a mixture of wool and synthetic is good; it adds strength.
