I am a big fan of SmartWool, I have been wearing the hell out of their <\/span>TML Jacket.<\/span><\/a> I recently picked up one of their Midweight (250 g\/m^2) layers.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

One of the nice things about a wool layer over synthetics is that they do not hold odors, ok  synthetics  stink like a gym sock after they have been worn enough times. I end up throwing out “Tech T’s” that won’t ever loose their stink. Another nice bit about wool is that it really does keep you warmer when wet then synthetics. <\/p>\n

The SmartWool Midweight Zip T is perfect for hiking or riding. The zip is easy to use while riding, perfect for regulating heat on those long uphills.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And as someone who has tried many different brands of wool layers, why I stick with SmartWool is that it does not shrink when washed. I have been BURNED so many times by other brands.  Why spend good money on a layer that you are going to get sweaty and you will be afraid to wash? No worries with SmartWool.  Pick one up if you need a midweight layer, perfect for days in the 40-60\u00b0F or under another layer for colder days.
