Smartwool dilemma

You know, now that I look at the description again, maybe it was meant to be worn alone. It's the Ultimate Guide Sweater:

No matter now. I'm very happy with the Smartwool!

It is a heavy sweater indeed. I LOVE it. I wear it with a very light wicking top usually so I can take it off if I get too warm.

It's the nicest sweater I've ever had... The only problem now: dear partner is jealous.

Oh, that is one gorgeous sweater--the Ultimate Guide Sweater, I mean. Is it really really heavy? Believe it or not, I do wear wool occasionally, even though I live in the south--in fact, I could've worn wool today. I'm a little quirky in my clothing habits, admittedly, but wool is such an adaptable fabric--I wear Smartwool socks all year round. So I'd love to have that sweater, but not if it's a very heavy one. Comments? Advice? Thanks!

Hummm... It's pretty heavy. Definitely heavier than, say, your average polar fleece sweater. I wear it with a light top underneath. I could imagine wearing it for a walk by the ocean in Florida in January. It's pretty good at breaking wind too.

At the price the women's version is right now, I would order it if I was you.

Hmmm...you might want to stay upwind of it in that case.....

We all have the same inner 10-year-old boy, huh?
