re: Question about merino wool/first lite

I've never used First Lite, so can't compare it to Bass Pro or Cabela's merino wool products, but I have a pair of Cabela's merino wool socks and I love them. Feet stay dry and warm all hunt. I've worn them multiple days in a row out of laziness and they never stunk.

Good stuff. I don't think you need to have the big name brand stuff to get the same performance. Just look at some of the Ozark Trail products versus Yeti.
