OldFingers57	02/12/2016 12:06PM I just always line dry all of my synthetic clothing and wool clothes and socks as they get less beat up from tumbling around in the dryer and less chance of shrinkage.

I wore them while snowshoeing up by Tofte, MN this past week. My wife and I each wore them and loved how comfortable they were and how well they kept us warm. Plus they seem to launder well too. I just line dry them. "' Just curious, any reason why you line dry them, just tradition because its a wool product? I noticed on the tag and on their website you can dry them on low. Mine are in the dryer right now...

My wife and I got the merino wool mid-weight bottoms for $50 normally $99. They are great, Fantastic fit and very comfortable. Plus they have 2 day shipping for free. " Well I bought a pair. And assuming they come in time, I will report back after this weekend BWCA camping trip.
canucanu2	02/07/2016 08:19PM Another great place to shop for Merino wool base layers is Sierra Trading Post.com. Get on their email list (you will unfortunately get a few emails each week), but their prices are low, typically can find 25% or greater email deals on the already low prices. Base layers normally at $100 I have found for $30-40.
