It seems based on the thread thus far, wool is ideal. One thing I am not clear on is, if a wool base layer is worn with cotton over it, will the base layer still wick away the sweat, or will the cotton soak it up? Or is wearing multiple layers of wool the only option to stay warm and dry? Coming from a cost perspective, it seems if one can afford just one wool base layer and then wear regular clothes (i.e.-cotton) over it then it might be a little easier to "swallow" the cost of the wool.

What do you wear on top in the cold and/or wet? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
