Shaen has been skiing this winter in wool. Yes, he looks odd on the hill. He wears merino wool underwear as a bottom layer. His middle layer varies from an organic cotton shirt for hot days to a Guernsey wool sweater for the cold days. His outer layer is a Swanndri and felt army pants. He finds the wool breathes much better then Gore-Tex shell. Wool felt is water-repellent and stays warm even if wet.
