Cash Making Opportunities – The Beginning The working life is already tough enough, but the worries of being out of work was even tougher. The unsecured working environment have prompted me to search the internet for an alternative source of extra income so that I could learn how to Make Money Work for me and be Financially Independent. I listed down a number of Free Internet Business Opportunity Ideas while researching ways how people earn money online while working-from-home…….

DeFeet Merino socks are the business.
You can use them even on mild to warm days too.

Add Groundeffect to your list of sources. The prices are much more realistic (basically the same or cheaper than synthetic) and the products are great, I have baselayer, jersey and a long sleve top. They use a 62/38 blend of Merino and polyester which eliminates a lot of the care issues you get with wool normally.

One has to love Google and @Parawolf on Twitter! Thanks for the mention. Don’t want to be left of the list here, so please pardon the shameless plug :)
We at Lab-Gear have been doing Superfine Merino since 2001, prolly one of the first in Australia to use it in the ways we have. Our line is almost all Merino now and only getting bigger each month. 100% made in Australia with full custom options http://www.lab-gear.com

I live in my Merino kit on and off the bike and have no problem saying it’s one of the best materials for all year round performance. Always happy to answer any questions anyone has about it and for a bit of tech reading: http://www.lab-gear.com/about-us/science#merino

Cheers amd beers guys!

I use a merino undershirt and I love it, the only think that I don’t like about it is that the inside has discoloured this doesn’t seem to effect the performance just looks a bit dirty.

Thanks Shorn, I should have done more wikipedia reading before posting. Those kiwis will claim every sheep of their own given the chance! They certainly can’t have that badge of honor

Another vote for Rapha – my mini-review is here: http://icyclist.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-05-28T18%3A37%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=15 -

Yes, its expensive, but not impossibly so, and it does come with a lot of nice touches not found on other jerseys that make it worth the price. Not to mention the wool content makes it supremely comfortable.
