Hiking in merino tops in summer
hey all, i have this icebreaker merino-tencel lightweight longsleeve shirt, that just got destroyed on the bottom part during my last hike (Wiedweg, Germany, last week). it was worn under a heavyweight Sarma merino-poly hoodie, never direct contact with the backpack (Gossamer Gear Gorilla).
same thing happened with other merino blend shirts during summer hikes, where there was direct contact, desfruxtion happened faster, so i am (and my wallet is) kind of tired of buying a new shirt every season, but here comes my question: what else, if not merino? i just cannot stand the technical fabrics, already tried some (patagonia, arc'teryx, etc), and the feel of the fabric and the stench of it after a day just kills me.
what are you wearing for a multiday hike?
