  Merino wool base layers - which are the most durable?

  I have been very happy with Aclima. But so far, the most durable merino brand for me has been Duckworth. I have some shirts that are almost 10 years old and threadbare. Generally, a merino blend will be the most durable

  I’m looking for a BIFL hoodie

  For a traditional hoodie, the Champion Reverse Weave is king. Very heavy duty, great fit, wears like iron. Flat out amazing. The most versatile hoodie around. Perfection. If you just want warmth and comfort, without any style whatsoever, the Duckworth Powder Hoodie is crazy good. It’s not very resistant to wind, but is otherwise super warm for a garment so light in weight. I put mine on in October, and take it off in May. Absurdly comfortable. I’ve tried American Giant. It’s as well made as the Champion, but it’s just too oddly shaped for my liking. Not designed for humans. Arborwear makes the heaviest and toughest hoodie, but beware of the hood. It’s designed to go over helmets, so it’s HUGE. You’ll need 5 hats to take up the extra hood room. So heavy it’s really only for very cold outdoor use. The Flint and Tinder 10 year hoodie was a major let down. It’s just a medium weight hoodie, like your average medium weight Carhartt. Total scam. If you don’t mind 1/4 zip, the Carhartt Rain Defender Loose Fit Heavyweight Quarter-Zip Hoodie is outstandingly solid. Somewhere between the Champion and the Arborwear in terms of weight. The extra mock neck collar keeps you super warm when the cold winds on winter kick up. This is an amazing hoodie for winter.

  I’m looking for a BIFL hoodie

  Duckworth has the best hoodies. Feather light and super warm but very breathable. You will want one in every color. Then on the heavier side is arborwear. Best heavy hoodie you can buy in my opinion. Both will definitely last

  Men’s underwear that actually lasts does it exist?

  Not sure about "for life," but I find these wool [briefs from Duckworth](https://www.duckworthco.com/products/mens-vapor-brief) to be incredibly comfortable and durable.

  BIFL Cotton Socks for a relatively active person

  It's probably because DT has a lot of nylon in them....and I have the same problem. I have better luck with Smartwool and [Duckworth.](https://www.duckworthco.com/collections/socks)

  Warmest coat made of natural material that doesnt include down feathers?

  The Duckworth [Wool Cloud](https://www.duckworthco.com/products/mens-woolcloud-full-zip-jacket?variant=40243150684220) looks pretty good. Heat Straps makes some nice looking stuff, and there's Weatherwool.

  The Darn Tough of boxer briefs?

  Duckworth is nice. Wool and made in USA with USA wool. They aren’t the most durable but their lifetime guarantee is great and easy to deal with. I replaced 5 pairs from a defective lot that had seam splits.

  what winter coat are yall using?

  It's like wearing a plastic bag, IMO. I'd rather have this one from Duckworth. [https://www.duckworthco.com/products/mens-woolcloud-full-zip-jacket?variant=40243150684220](https://www.duckworthco.com/products/mens-woolcloud-full-zip-jacket?variant=40243150684220)

  [Duckworth Vapor Hoody.](https://www.duckworthco.com/products/mens-vapor-hoody?variant=49484675612992) The more things I purchase from Duckworth, the more I appreciate what they do. I'm currently wearing a [Powder Hoody, ](https://www.duckworthco.com/products/mens-powder-hoody?variant=50267031241024)which is twice as thick as the Vapor.

  Looking for Sweatpants Reccomendations

  I have a pair of Champion sweatpants that I've had for 10+ years. When they go, I'm replacing them with [Duckworth Powder Sweat Pants.](https://www.duckworthco.com/products/mens-powder-sweat-pants?variant=47425126400320) They're not cotton, but that's a good thing if you ask me.

  Has anyone found any TENCEL or TENCEL-wool/natural blend activewear?

  I have an old allbirds joggers that are wool /Tencel blend and run shirt is too they work nice. Might find them on eBay. I also own duckworh Polaris Henley and commet hoodie and they're pretty fantastic gear. The Polaris has been used in 100 degree summer bike rides and 30 degree hikes this morning in Colorado. The commet has been pretty incredible , I bought it in a 50 percent off sale ( think they were discontinuing the full zip hoodie.) but they're totally great.
