I've always said sparkles multiply like those Little People from the Fisher-Price Play Mobil sets.
Anyway, my question sort of has to do with wool, but not entirely. I thought this might be the right place to ask, though.
Since the advent of the x country ski season, I have been having issues feeling damp during my skis. And you don't want to be damp when it's 15 degrees out. I vary my base layers between Craft LS base layers, which are tight and often cause me to overheat on the bike, or Smart Wool very thin base layers. My mid layer is either fleece or wool. I have a Go-Lite jacket that is great. I can't do a wool base layer with a wool mid layer. I am having enough trouble with wool lately, causing itching, even the merino sports stuff I have. That doesn't seem to be as bad as the merino "regular" sweaters I have, which don't seem so merino-like to me.
I did an experiment Monday, wearing a wool base layer and a fleece mid layer. It was really cold out and I still felt damp, even with the wool. The base layer was not wet when I got home, but I didn't notice much of a difference. Putting it politely, I sweat. A lot. But, I hate being cold in the beginning of a ski and I think i might be overdressing... especially the mid layer. Should I bite the bullet and try a thinner mid layer, or can someone recommend a better base layer? I have found that on the bike, I have been needing less clothing in the cold, but at a certain point, I felt chilled when I tried dressing the way I see others dress (when it got in the 30's), mostly due to the sweating issue. I can't even wear my sunglasses when I ski, as I sweat so much, they fog up instantly. I've tried everything for that, too.
Help.
