You may love this as much as I do, but it is royal alpaca not merino wool. It's lighter than merino, softer than merino, and better temperature regulating than merino. And this is from a guy who loves merino. PAKA Apparel is doing great things. They're
sustainable and pay a living wage to the Peruvian artisans, all of them women, who produce the wool. The product I would recommend to you is the Breathe hoodie though it is a blend of alpaca fiber and a thin pima cotten underlayer. It still wicks great and doesn't get stinky. If you want something with no cotton, look at the 65 percent alpaca unisex Hoodie. They are both amazingly great products, but the Breathe is machine washable, and the regular Hoodie isn't.

I have been searching for a really good quality, machine washable, hang to dry, wool hoodie (for hopefully under $200 - a girl can dream) for a few years now.
