Fair, balanced assessment of merino. Although I will say, I've been caught out in some cool weather rainstorms, wearing a Rapha merino base layer, and it did keep a measure of the warmth in despite being soaked. Just my experience. Great record nonetheless.
Good review, the more you wear merino the more you’ll find it your ‘go to’ particularly at less than 17°C. Should be worn in conjunction with a base layer. If there is wind around I just add a lightweight gilet, all way down to 4°C. At less than 9°C I wear a thicker merino base layer
Love your video style and content. Personally as snazzy as modern Jerseys are I still love my marino Jerseys more from a pure fit and comfort point of view.
Just fyi Lycra is just called Lycra in the US. Love the review, as someone who now cares much more about comfort than speed, I have recently become very interested in wool clothing.
I have a very unusual question! I absolutely love how those glasses fit over your actual glasses. May I ask what they are called? also do you have a separate pair of glasses you bike with or are these your EDC glasses!? I don't bike at all and stumbled upon your channel searching for Merino wool opinions. Great content! Hope you stay safe :)
Hi Dani - the visor at the front and the lenses behind are all part of the same set of glasses. It's basically a way of having cheaper prescription lenses at the back (because they are standard small lenses), with a number of different covers at the front which you can swap out (in addition to this blue one, I have polarised, cloud cover, clear, normal sunglasses). This is a lot cheaper than trying to get prescription sports sunglasses lenses. These are the Eyepod Hawk sports glasses but I have a feeling it's a widely sold system. I did an initial 'first look' video with them here: ruclips.net/video/MZypvLtN6Dw/видео.html
Those would be 'Eyepod Hawk' sports glasses. Here's the video I made about them: ruclips.net/video/MZypvLtN6Dw/видео.html I've used them loads since and I get on really well with them.
Usually, I think you have great videos, but this just isn’t relevant to a S. Cal rider, it’s in the 90’s by the beach right now. I’ll have to wait for the next one.

Thanks Richard. I think I'll experiment in line with what you suggest. Not that I'm particularly looking for lower temperatures right now...

That's actually a very helpful comment. I tie myself up in knots writing about Lycra and spandex on my blog... I will just use Lycra from now on 😀
Legend Mate, love the video style, doing some looking for wool kits and your review is great and very helpful.
Bike seems to be working well after the surgery! Nice jersey!
Thank you. And yes, running like a dream. Just need to get the final overhaul videos published...

Excellent. Lovely scenery.
Thanks David. If the weather was always like that, I think I'd move there...
I ordered a Vulpino jersey and still waiting.. very long transit time to Australia compared to other UK suppliers ..tracking site is useless
What about itching?
21 more subs lad
17 now. What do you get for 1,000 subs? A brown play button...?
What cycling glasses do you use?

No problem. See you next time.
