Wool clothing?

[Moosedog]

I'm with Andrew. You can't beat a lightweight wool t-shirt as a base layer in almost any situation. Icebreaker, Ibex, Smartwool are the premier lines, and Filson is making base layers now, although I fondled soem yesterday and they seemed kinda rough.

I've ordered froma couple of companies in New Zealand--even with shipping to the US it came out OK. I recently bought some base layers from Campmor made by Terramar for a reasonable price. Just look for merino content for the softest fit.

Hemp t-shirts are easy to find via the internet--they are durable as all get out and soften with age. But they don't have all the special characterisics of wool--like the resilience that lets it hold its shape despite wear and moisture. Grant--let me know if you need sources. Since growing hemp and producing fabric from it is still illegal in the US, it is actually much easier to find hemp clothing in Canada.

Best wool for me is Pendleton shirts, or www.filson.com, or L.L.Bean stuff.

You know you need that wool down in Phoenix for INDOORS to cope with the refrigeration.

You might also want to try Cabela's. I know they have some nice wool shirts.
