Yeah, they tell us in our lab safety training not to wear synthetics if we're working with a flame or flammable materials because synthetics melt. It's hard to ignite wool, and cotton, while it burns easily, doesn't melt so you don't suffer more skin damage.

So far, since yesterday morning, I have worn my black Smart Wool 1/4 zip 1) hiking 2) doing yoga 3) to a friend's house for dinner, and 4) over my tank top to boot camp this morning. I had various layers on under it, and yes, there was a shower involved sometime yesterday, but now I don't want to take it off.
I think I'll wear the purple one to work today!2015 Trek Silque SSL

I'm new to wool - just purchased my first jersey. I'm looking at wool base layers and one of my team mates recommended IBEX, which reading this thread, seems to be a very loved brand. After looking at their website I am confused as to what to purchase. I would love to purchase all of them in an order to try them out and determine my favorite, but at their price, I can't justify it (active duty military and we don't make a whole lot of money).
What should my purchase consist of? I would use it as a base layer/undershirt for riding, but maybe use it most days under my uniform as I have a tendency to freeze! I would prefer a white/off-white/eggshell color since it would be less noticeable under my uniform top as opposed to something in a dark plum or bright teal.
I'm excited to try this product as both of my children had wool diapers when they were babies (cloth diapered due to sever allergens to the chemicals in disposables) and I'm quite famIliar with the amazing properties of wool. Our team jerseys are also going to be wool, so I'm excited to join this group! Thanks!
