Re: Ultralight synthetic base layer

Hi Bill,

I've tried silk, and like other natural materials it was slow to dry when it became wet from perspiration. Patagonia's "Silkweight" 
Capilene is about as light as silk, and not too expensive at $35 or 
so, and didn't have that problem. 

Please let us know the results of your testing, if you'd be so kind.
Thanks,   Don L.
