Synthetic vs merino wool base layers

I have not worn any merino base layers. I've always used synthetics. Even on 8-12 day trips wearing the same layers I've not had an issue with stink.

I have worn the merino mid layers and they work as .good as fleece, but not sold on them any more or less.

Everyone has a differing opinion.

I won't be packing any merino in a few weeks chasing sheep.

I will say that I would never by American or Canadian sources wool anything though.

I don’t know you might need to have your sniffer checked. I can’t imagine 8-12 days in a pair of synthetic bases and no odor.

And are you boycotting American sheep because of the disease issue?
