This is always a heavily debated topic, so we decided to ask John Barklow, who has an extensive background in clothing development, Special Operation Training, wilderness survival, and hunting.

At BlackOvis.com we carry a wide variety of merino and synthetics layers, and we offer free shipping on all orders! Use the links below to shop 👇
