Any reccomendations for a cold weather base layer. Trying to reduce the number of layers I wear during the cold season.
I'm a merino wool fan too...however, its definitely not the warmest choice. It has a ton of benefits as mentioned above. I wear it more in warmer weather than I do really, really cold weather as it doesn't hold odor as bad as synthetics. When it gets really cold, I wear a light merino t-shirt, followed by a grid fleece type synthetic(my choice is Sitka mid and heavy zip-t's) That way the merino is regulating my temp, but the synthetic is doing the insulating. Works better this way.

I use Blackovis merino wool. You can catch it on sale on Camofire.com or here https://www.blackovis.com/clothing/mens/merino-wool?brand=940. The 190 weight works well for me, but I'm sure the 230 weight is great for extreme cold.
I was just watching a Randy Newberg Wyoming Elk hunt and it was 50mph, snowing, and 20 degrees. Hard to think it ever gets cold in GA.We have cold weather?
I'm not one of the "I just wear shorts and a T shirt all season in GA" guys, if it's below 40 degrees and I'm sitting in a stand holding a bow, I'm cold!! I've got some UA that I like ok but I bought some Cabelas Thermal Zone Standhunter top and bottoms a few years back and I love it, by far the warmest I have.
It's actually on sale now too.
