I don't post here usually 'cos I'm not really that fond of wool for biking. But I do wear wool on all-day trips, skiing or hiking in the mountains. I was on a camping trip this weekend. My camping girlbuddy had bought a new wool-fleece hoody from Devold, the Ibex of Norway.

I waaaaant one.....

and here's a photo of her wearing it (post-camping, gorging on waffles and coffee at the closest resort):

And she took my favourite colour too!

It looks cozy! I like the chocolate brown best too.
I must say however, when I buy wool blends (part wool, part synthetic) I want to know the percentage of wool it has right up front. It doesn't say just how much wool it has here, just that it's a "combination":

If it only has like 15% actual wool content, I might choose to get something else if I'm looking to keep warm with wool under camping conditions.

Yes, I was a bit unclear. I wear several layers pure wool when camping. All boring navy blue and black, and I don't need any more.

But here she turns up wearing this cute hoody in MY colour, for the car ride to and from the trip, and I suddenly really really wanted to go buy myself one too... Though I'd probably just wear it around the office.

Well she had some nerve!!
Too funny.
I have cute but non-practical things in my wardrobe too, for sure.

OK, I am about to leave for an interview for the grad program i am applying to. It is about 19 out, with wind chills down to about 5 degrees. It is sunny. I have to park my car, walk about a block and wait for the train outside. Then, when I get to my destination, i have to walk about half a mile to the university. The train will get there about an hour before my meeting, so I plan to hole up in Starbucks or somewhere! I have wool pants on, with my light weight silk underwear underneath, fleece lined Ugg boots, a heavy ribbed cotton crewneck, and my Shak. I plan to wear my wool coat and heaviest dress gloves, which are fleece and thick, along with a wool scarf. I am deciding whether to wear my "dress" wool cap or my hat with the ear flaps, like the one Lisa had a picture of back a few pages here. I am leaning toward the un-dressy one. I have to also wait for the return train back home at 5 PM, and it will be dark almost and COLD. I just don't want to look unprofessional when I walk in, but at this point, I am not caring.
