Thanks dotman.
Whats the quality of the C4E stuff compared to First Lite?
A lot of people like the C4E, I didn't. You have to wash it by hand and my shirt had holes in it after a month and shrunk cause I don't wash by hand or air dry it
All of my first lite is washed and dried in my machines (baking soda only) and after a year of abuse and multiple washings/dryings is going strong and hasn't shrunk. My llano ls top finally has a small hole in the sleeve by the thumb hole after a year of hard use and many of the above cycles (it is wearing thin, has pin holes in it, so I'll replace it with a new llano this year). All the other stuff is going strong and again not one item from my beanie to Labrador has shrunk. Only item I don't have is the pants and this stuff is well worth it if you want to get your moneys worth and good durability for a merino product.
I don't treat my merino with kid gloves and am pretty hard on it, I actually expected it to fail early on but it has been rock solid.
For the good deals keep watching that link I gave you, I picked up the entire line minus pants for around $200 last year. The good sales will come in March/April as the new years items are being released just have to watch and make sure your size doesn't sell out.
