    I'm convinced!!! I worried about the itch but it looks like it's a non-issue; and I do love my SmartWool socks and wear them all year. My lbs has a pair of SM long underwear for $60...had a look at them this morning. Thanks again, everyone...(Jan muttering about putting THEM on lay-away too!!!).

    I have Smartwool long underwear (mid-weight base layer), and they are sooo, soooo comfy and warm. Not an itch in sight!

    I was lucky enough to get them from Steep and Cheap (which I won't buy from anymore because of this fiasco), for under $30. Worth every penny!

    This thread made me go look at the Smartwool stuff at TE. Now I am wanting the orange hoodie jersey. It would SO match Black Beauty.

    Yeah, I've been eyeing that orange hoodie too. I think it would look great with my Exte Onde knickers. And I might even wear it to work. But I really don't need it.

    I do need superlight longlasting for the new bike. And I do need to change out the pedals on all my bikes to Eggbeaters.

    Why can't I just have everything I want?

    I have that orange SW hoodie!
    It's true you need to order a size smaller. I usually take a medium but the small hoodie fits me right.
    It's a REALLY convenient thing to have, since the hood fits beautifully under a helmet. The sleeves are long and have the thumb holes- very COZY merino item!

    Okay, it doesn't itch... but it's still wool, eh? "real" wool makes me sneeze and the whole allergy schtick... so I stick to polyester or silk (and sometimes even cotton!!) I might try merino sometime...

    Do you have those knickers with the orange insets and there is a jersey to match? the ones I saw in Colorado Cyclist? Another pair of items I am SEVERELY lusting after.

    Yes, those are the knickers I have. I really like them. I also bought the tights, but their inset is fuschia.

    I like the fuschia too. But it would clash with the orange trim on BB.

    Not that it has ever stopped me before
