For things like wool socks, I buy whatever has at least 60% or more merino wool content. I do have a couple of pairs of woolie boolies, which are bicycle specific, but those just happened to be on sale. However, for wool arm and leg warmers, I only buy bicycle specific ones from Kucharik. Made in the US of 100% merino wool (they also sell a blend), its not cheap, but very warm and comfortable. Further, I find that it holds up well and doesn't slip. Good Luck!
