Modern synthetics can keep just as warm (and drier) then wool. I know there are wool clothing preferring people out there but I am not one of them and simply prefer synthetics.

As for "gets old very fast", I just do not like the feel of wet wool against the skin, day in day out. And yes over the years I have tried different brands blends etc and it comes down to just a non personal preference, nothing more, nothing less.

And although you may "respectfully disagree", that is okay. As I have stated many times here before, what works best for one person may or may not work for your needs nor for my particular needs and I will leave this thread at that...
