Favorite wool brand

[madscot13]

Then I discovered Smartwool, which I think is better than Icebreaker. It looks less fuzzy after a few washes...

I have the home brand from MEC too. Lesser quality, not as soft as the other three... But still good quality, and much cheaper.

you mean that icebreaker started fuzzinr and/ or pilling before the other wool makers. I am sort of sad. It seems so expensive and therefore in my young and inexperienced (some migh say deranged), QUALITY!. but alas i guess not.

It's not that bad!! It's just not AS NICE as the Smartwool stuff (I find - for the types of tops I own). Even in the store I found the finish of the smartwool stuff better than the Icebreaker. But it might be a 'style'. It's not pilling, no!!

Thanks for the replys.
Does anyone have any favorite items that can be worn around town and cycling? I have been wearing the SW zip T everywhere. I don't want to take it off.

The Icebreaker stuff seems to be a lot warmer than any of the Smartwool stuff. Is there a Smartwool line that's warmer than the midweight? I have never seen anything heavier than that. I have a midweight crewneck that is my very favorite piece of Smartwool, and also the Saratoga which I think is midweight, but my husband and I both have Icebreaker zip-necks that are much, much warmer than the Smartwool.
