The Kuiu bashing is getting old.
I own and use both brands and you cannot go wrong with either. I have not used the newest First Lite Aerowool but own several pieces of the Llano, chama, and whatever the bottoms are. They have been great but, I prefer the Kuiu merino though. I was not a fan of the first generation Kuiu merino but the newer stuff with the nuyarn (125 SS, 145 LS, 145 bottoms) has been great. It breathes well, drys quick, has been durable, and fits me well (5'10" 185 wearing a size L). I'd give a slight edge to the Kuiu stuff. Hope this helps
the aerowool is a lot better. i ran all the kuiu nuyran 125 and 145 until i started running first lite aerowool and then i dumped the kuiu. for hot weather the FL aerowool is lighter, not as itchy, more durable and dries a lot quicker. plus FL supports conservation
