Wool Garments

For base layers, I can wholeheartedly recommend Brynje.

An especially good tip is to use the mesh baselayer on your skin, and then layer traditional non-mesh baselayer on top of that again. The extra airiness helps to wick moisture away as well as providing added insulation.

For base layers: Meriwool (merino wool) brand found on Amazon. Decent prices, and different weights of fabric. They make 1/4 zip tops that could easily be used as a top layer.

L.L. Bean used to make a merino wool full zip hoodie (still available for women) but seem to have replaced it with a half-zip anorak style garment. Quality from Bean is usually
outstanding.

If you don't want to wash it as much, do like the denim folks do with their jeans: put it in a large ziploc or plastic bag and place it in the freezer overnight. Kills most of the bacteria and stink.

Wool is a naturally anti-bacterial material. To get rid of odors, just hang the garment somewhere and let it breathe for several hours. That's how I usually clean my sweaters.
