Well, for me there are two main reasons. One is just the fact that I don't like to wash my woollen sweaters as often so I prefer to have a more "disposable" layer underneath to absorb my body stuff directly.

The second thing is that when I've worn wool sweaters directly on my skin I feel very oily at the end of the day. I mean, there's nice moisturized dewy skin and then there's oily. I don't get this feeling on my skin when I wear the finer weave stuff like the smartwool underwear tops. Only the larger chunky knits.
