Has anyone had any experience with the Icebreaker merino wool underwear sold on the sierra trading post? How about the asolo sasslong boots? Is the quality of these products comparable to other name brands. Thanks in advance for the info. I am trying to gear up for a pack in elk hunt without breaking the bank.
 
Cannot help with the icebreaker stuff, but I wear asolo fugitive boots. They fit me great, so much so I used my 20% off coupon at REI to buy another pair even though the ones I have been using are not even close to being worn out.
 
I have had 2 pairs of Asolo Fugitive boots, and loved both of them. The area I hunt is straight up and down, and they are flexable enough to be very comfortable even with a 4 day pack on. The heel cup saves you from a lot of blisters. That being said, I don't like them on flat ground when I have a pack on. I can feel every rock. So I went to the Sassalong boot, which is much stiffer, and has a vibram sole. I put 20+ miles on them last year before the hunt to break them in. I hunted with them for 5 days and they were very comfortable. Still a bit stiff for the uphill climbs, but they got better as the week went along. I am planning to use them this year for early season archery. Once I went to Asolo I have bought nothing else.
Just a heads up, if you watch the sales you can get them on sale around $150-160, and then get the coupon off the back of their mailer each week and it will save you 30%.
