Gear Junkie: Patagonia releases new Merino wool base layer

A base layer release in July may not be the most savvy marketing move. But apparently Patagonia couldn’t wait for what the brand is touting “the world’s most advanced base layer” ever developed. Those are tall claims. But the Merino Air Baselayer product line, which goes on sale this week, appears to be something new. It consists of men’s and women’s pieces made of a wool-polyester blend put through a process I have not seen.
