Review on Womens Winter Hiking Thermal Merino by Andrew Jenkins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No or very little wool

I'm not a weaver, but I've been buying merino wool socks from REI & smart Wool for 20 years. They don't even remotely resemble the texture or finish of Smart Wool - the texture is slippery and rough and feels a lot like acrylic to me. I figured the only way to test this without spending more money was to pull on some filament and bring a flame to them - the filament would melt, not catch fire. This leads me to believe that they either contain no wool at all or only a very small amount of wool.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Very expensive
