I don't mind silk for in-the city or even for hiking, for the top, but the bottoms are just not stretchy enough and strong enough to stand up to what I dish out. Maybe I should take more mincing, ladylike steps as I climb up an active volcano, for example? I have shirts with and without thumbloops. I also have a jacket with internal sleevecuffs that have thumb-slots that can be flipped out. (the cuffs, not the slots), and I find this is a great feature (northland). I don't know if it would work on the armwarmers though. Keep up the interesting gear reports! I know I'll check out Joneswares' stuff. you know I love merino wool as a baselayer as well.
