I've also tried that and can highly recommend it.

BTW, this is one place where the wrong kind of wool comes in second place to synthetics, IMO - contact directly with the skin. The wrong kind of wool can be itchy and drafty. I recently added a thin wool jacket for an emergency extra layer in my urban EDC kit, but it's with the mind set that I likely won't get soaked to my base layer. In a wilderness situation, I take 2 extra layers - a wool and a synthetic.
