love merino... But then, I am a Kiwi... A Cantab, no less... I'm going to shut up now before someone starts making sheep jokes...

Baa Baa - seriously though I agree with tlkiwi merino is great. Check out www.icebreakernz.com their stuff is great my husband got me some on his last trip back to Aust and their website lists retail locations world wide. They have some great reviews on their site including one by Kym McConnell author of "Tibet Overland" - mountain biking bible on biking the worlds highest plateau. He says he wore his icebreaker gear continuously day and night for 90 days and only needed one set. This stuff isnt cheap but it rocks.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
