What I hate about compression is that it's often too restrictive for free and efficient movement when exercising. I also feel like I'm wearing a very clingy plastic bag, that doesn't keep you warm when wet, and quickly becomes stinky and I just need to get it off! HOWEVER my Wilderness Wear 200% Australian owned woolen compression thermal is unbelievably awesome! It's snug, and keeps me warm when in and out of water, no seams that chafe under the arms. Whilst rowing the George Bass Surf Boat Marathon in the heat of January, along the south coast of NSW, I would spend several hours every day in and out the water, either rowing or sitting immobile in the support boat. Going from icy cold water to hard exercise in the heat, to sitting damp and still in a windy support boat. I never wanted to take it off. After 7 days with only a daily rinse, it didn't stink!

The WW Base layers were all extremely comfortable and soft. Not itchy at all. As there was no laundry facility or even showers as we climbed higher, the clothes’ odour-resistance was ESSENTIAL and very obvious. They simply didn’t smell and they also dried very quickly. I found it really amazing that the same top kept me warm when it was cold, and kept me cool when it was hot. I wore the pair of long johns at night as a pj and they kept me very warm’. ‘I found the merino fusion top very interesting. It has all the qualities of a merino top, warm and comfortable, but not as soft and doesn’t cling to the body as much. I feel it’s more suitable as a top layer with a lighter weight merino underneath.
