Going to put my bets on Cap 4, but if Merino Air is warmer will switch in a heartbeat. Has anyone tried to compare these two?
Topic

But at the same time you should ask yourself which one handles moisture better as they are still baselayers.
I agree on principle, but disagree in function. Merino Air is just itchy enough to be noticeable when wearing it – I always put a super light layer underneath it as a baselayer and have it be a sweater of sort. It's not as itchy as possum down, but there's definitely a bit there.
