Review on Merino Wool Men'S Thermal Underwear Base Layer Set - Naturwool John Top And Bottom by Jimmy Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best value I could find

I looked everywhere for merino wool under layer that I can wear on a bikepacking trip. I'd heard it's the way to go because wool keeps you warm even if wet, cleans fairly easily and does not trap odors as much as cotton or polyester materials. After a very long time of looking, I found this to be the best value, with having both the top and bottom. It was taking a chance though, because there were no reviews to go by.Well, the temperature started dropping lately so I figured it's a good time to test these before it's time to start turning on the heater at home. They work perfectly. The thought even occurred to me to turn the air conditioner back on! After a couple of days wearing these, they still do not have any odor, so they do work in that regard, apparently.It's a good dense material. Doesn't feel heavy to wear, but they are a little heavier than a cotton core layer might. Good quality. I think the top could fit someone with a bigger belly or arms if need be. It's not too loose, and definitely fits, but I just happen to be a little more bottom heavy. I wear size 34 pants and the bottom fits perfectly. I think I might have lucked out there too, with buying from here.Not sure how much cold weather I'll be facing, for how long, but I'm considering buying another set. Fortunately, I won't have to search again and can just spring for another set of these.

Pros
  • Eco-friendly and sustainably sourced materials
Cons
  • May cause skin irritation due to harsh chemicals used in manufacturing
