Alright, gather round—you’re about to hear the least sexy Christmas wish list you’ve ever encountered. Some people want lace, silk, and a bit of “ooh la la” under the tree. Me? I looked my partner dead in the eye and said, “Get me more EDZ Merino wool base layers or don’t bother.” Romance isn’t dead, it just smells faintly of engine oil and practicality.
Now, before you start judging, let me explain. I picked up my first set of EDZ Merino wool base layers—a long-sleeved top and matching leggings—at the Excel Bike Show last February. There was a cheeky little discount on, which softened the blow because let’s not pretend otherwise: merino wool ain’t cheap. But listen, I’ve been living in these things ever since, and I mean that in the most committed, borderline concerning way.
