Sahalie has merino wool buffs, for anyone that's interested.
I think I'm going to put some Ibex on this year's Santa list. Maybe another Shak! I really wish they'd have done the full zip Shak in the purple color offered in the jersey version:

The cherry red color in the full zip is nice, though. I might go ahead and ask for the jersey in the purple. Be a rebel and wear it with skirts to work!

After browsing through this topic, I decided to keep a lookout for merino wool tops at my local thrift stores. I scored three tops on Wednesday for a total outlay of $14!
Will try one out on tomorrow's ride.

Good for you! You're in my neck of the woods (NoVa). I've got to keep my eyes open at consignment shops, too. (BTW - who would EVER want to give up a nice wool top?????)

I think I could get used to the smell but I hope that my co-workers can
. I wore my Smart wool shirt last week on a morning commute when it was chilly. I sweat a lot so I had to dry it on my space heater under my desk. Let's just say that there was a unique smell eminating from my office. I'm waiting for someone to ask what it is.

Presumably it's Steep and Cheap. I wish I'd never heard of it.

Kombi
Has anyone tried merino base layer pieces by Kombi? It's less expensive than Smartwool or Icebreaker, but I don't want inferior merino.

News flash - for the male wool weenies in your lives...
Twin 6 is having a 25% off sale today only and it applies to their long sleeve wool jerseys. I'm debating - they are nice looking and I know Twin 6 does good quality work.
