I wish I knew....
well, my poor as a churchmouse son bought me wool for Christmas. he went to Value Village and picked out 3 sweaters. One was a celadon green/blue merino perfect fitting
lovely sweater. I liked it so much I wore it for christmas.
then an orange hoody; nice and perfect for around the house.
The last one is a purple/maroon made of this bumpy stuff, 50% wool.
I keep missing the very best Ibex sales.

Maybe you miss the Ibex sales but you sure score bigtime in the loving child dept. Which is better? Originally Posted by mimitabby

Patagonia Wool Baselayers--Santa brought me a poppy colored zip-T neck (wool 2). It seemed thin, compared to my Smartwool base zip-T necks (med weight--these are my new holy grail baselayers, making me abandon my Craft winter baselayers). This morning, I wore the Patagonia on my ride. Very very soft. Softer than the Smartwool base layers. Felt heavenly against my skin. Well made--no cheapo construction. Seams nicely finished, etc. Kept me warm and dry, even though I worked up a sweat. I give it 4.5 stars out of 5, just because I am not yet sure how it will do when it's bitter cold outside (it was in the mid to high 30s when I rode today).
Found a Wool4 Patagonia zip T-neck on sale and ordered it. LOL.
