Question

Post Body

Just started backpacking and will be going on a trip where the temp will be from 0 to -10°C. What would you reccomend for a base layer? I have an option of buying a 50 % merino wool and 50% polyester the weight of the wool is 218 gsm. Another option is Uniqlo ultra warm. What do you think will work better? Is the 50% merino good enough or should I look for a higher merino %? I'm also on a budget and work at Uniqlo so have a discount, and I saw a Viking LAN pro set (top and bottom) for a price of 70eur which is the cheapest I found merino base layer. I'm a beginner so be kind. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
