Polyprop exc for that
Above mentions Merino LJ's - be way to costly to wear like that "if" genuine Merino wool - and yes would wear through real quick
Wool is not meant to be rubbed open to abrasive elements
@gadgetman
Have you noticed if you put the Polyprop LJohns on "after" your legs already are cold - they stay cold ??
Or is it just me ??
