Merino wool for everything is another nice tip. It doesn’t build up nearly as much grime as cotton and is very easy to rinse and drip dry. Being dirty is one of my worst fears when I’m on the hoof and merino really solves that problem.

I’ve not found merino shorts though. It seems like wool, as a technical fabric at least, is less durable for shorts / pants? Or just less popular? Any recommendations gladly received.
