I wore one of my Shaks, with a Craft base layer and my Go lite jacket, with the sleeves off, along with my Jones Ware hiking pants and Ibex boy shorts, for a snowy hike today. I felt very wool-ish! I even changed into my Smart Wool liners after i warmed up and took off my heavier gloves.
I love my Jones Ware pants. They look like yoga pants and are wide on the bottom, so my hiking boots fit underneath. Plus, I had them do a semi-custom sizing, since I was sort of in between sizes and the length. It only cost $10.00 extra. I even wore them cycling last week, just had to put a band around the ankle.
Well, while we're on the subject of what wool we wore, here's what I wore for my snowy hike today. Ibex Loose Tights on the bottom, and on top, an Icebreaker midweight zip-neck with a lightweight Icebreaker tank underneath and an Icebreaker vest over top. Also a Smartwool lightweight hat, wool mittens, and wool socks. I would have worn a pair of my Icebreaker boy shorts but both were in the laundry. The only non-wool pieces of clothing I had on were my sports bra and shoes.
