TL;DR — Duckworth is the best Merino wool brand we’ve tested. We wore the Vapor Tee for 3 days straight and it stayed odor-free; the Comet Hoody and socks were just as impressive.

TL;DR — The Public Rec Dealmaker Pant ($128) is the lightest business-casual option we’ve tested — just 261 grams, wind-resistant, and golf-course-ready. We were pleasantly surprised.
