[RBW] Re: Can anyone compare feel of MUSA wool to Icebreaker?

2013-10-16 Thread Ron Mc
ps - I have become  Kookaburra wool wash junkie since I bought my first 
bottle from Riv.  The lanolin improves your wool.  But it also improves all 
your laundry.  I wash towels and sheets in soap, but all my daughter's 
clothes, my cotton tees - it all comes out better with the Kookaburra.

BTW, I just compared an Icebreaker 200 with a MUSA - the only difference is 
the color of the thread in the seams.

Gernot, 

The lightweight MUSA merino short sleeve T's are very light and soft. 
They're not  very substantial, but then again I don't think you'd want that 
in a short sleeve T.

I have some MUSA, Icebreaker and Smartwool in several weights and a 
microlite Terramar.  The lightweight Smartwood, Icebreaker and MUSA are all 
very similar.  The medium weight Smartwool and Icebreaker are cushy soft 
and very warm.  The microlite Terramar and Smartwool are more like silk. 
 They're all better than cotton in that they don't get saturated, heavy and 
sticky.  In brisk weather (50-degree mornings) I'll wear a lightweight 
long-sleeve merino with a cotton tee over that, and adjust layers through 
the morning as necessary.
