[pct-l] Icebreaker Gear



Funny, I am wearing Ice Breaker merino as I type this. I love the 
stuff. It does not scratch, is nice and warm when I want it to be and 
not too hot when I don't want it to be. But: as all knitted fabrics, it 
is no good at keeping mosquitoes off you. The holes between the 
knit-knots is too big.
