I second the Black Ovis merino wool layers.I picked up a bunch of merino from Black Ovis on the camofire app and have used it for several years. Anytime I see on the app I buy it.
The ll bean stuff looks nice. Any washing issues with it being 100% merino wool?Check out the Cresta Wool line at LLBean. I love my midweight stuff from there, especially the 1/4 zip shirt. Reasonably priced for quality merino.
The first light stuff is a merino blend. How does it hold up in the washing?Does it shrink or lose its shape?Love my first lite. Good merino is expensive. You can also look up a "Ninja suit" as a base layer

I've been singing the praises of fishnet base layers for years but it seems no one is interested in it because the guys on TV or YouTube don't push the stuff. I've used fishnets for decades to keep me warm in Michigan. It's nice to see someone else figured it out and is reaping the benefits of fishnets. I wear Wiggy's fishnets.I use both Icebreaker and Minus 33, no complaints about either. I'll watch ebay auctions throughout the year and pick up used pieces really cheap. I'm sure the other brands are also fine, just pay attention to the merino percentage. Some will say it's merino, but only use 30%. I look for 80%+.
Last year I also started using Brynje mesh base layers as my next to skin. It seems ridiculous, but they make a huge difference. I sweat less and stay warm with less layers.

Holds up great. 3rd year of heavy hunting, no complaints.The first light stuff is a merino blend. How does it hold up in the washing?Does it shrink or lose its shape?
Is the Pechora line lightweight or mid weight?I have been hunting in the heat this week in Kansas, I use KRYPTEK hoplite 2 merino wool and also the Badlands Pechora merino wool. Both have been top notch!
How are the sizes? i.e. do they run smaller, larger or right on?I wash and dry mine like normal - it gets no special treatment.
