A good point, and one of more concern perhaps to folks living in the northern states and Canada. The one thing I've noticed with my 8 yard PV (admittedly not from USAK) is that it has weight, but tends to be a bit more "fly away" in the wind.

But then everyones tolerance to their winter is going to vary a bit.

While PV does a good job, it just is not the same as wool. Too bad the 16oz wool is so danged expensive.
