Wool is good #ExpeditionBehavior, according to Paul Petzoldt, who coined the term and trained the 10th mountain division to wear three layers of wool in their winter mountaineering combat exploits, with a wool base layer closest to the skin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merino

One of the earliest known depictions of a merino sheep:

"El Buen Pastor" (The Good Shepherd) by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, ca. 1650

Grazing merino sheep festooned in fully au naturàl elisions of their own homegrown wool coats, neckwarmers, socks, leggings, hoodies and balaclavas.
