Winter Bushcraft Gear - Varusteleka Särmä TST Woolshell Pants
Yes! High-quality wool is not at all scratchy and nasty. Wool has some really useful properties:
Breathes, doesn't feel like plastic
Won't soil easily, but cleans up nicely
Is naturally fire retardant
Forms on its wearer
Relatively warm even if it gets moist, but won't really soak in water.
Good wool frieze is expensive and has some heft to it, that's why it's not nowadays used so much. It's still more than a viable application for temperate and cold weather clothing articles.
The original idea for the Woolshell design began as a simple fantasy - wouldn't it be great to have a wool suit which could comfortably be worn under gear and shell garments without causing too much excess bulk? Basically this would be a garment that could alternate between shell and mid-layer functions, with the fantastic properties of wool being the main attraction. This idea matured over the years and eventually ended up as an update for our legacy wool jackets and pants, tying these together with the current Särmä TST clothing system designs.
Besides the wool and it's naturally fantastic properties the other big thing about the Woolshell Pants is the design. The overall construction is aimed at minimizing the bulk of the wool fabric used, therefore certain areas such as the crotch gusset, ankles, and waist are made with double layers of CO/PES instead of any wool. By limiting excess wool-on-wool details, the result is a little bit more lightweight and sleek. The low-profile reinforcements and intricately pleated cargo pockets help keep the overall profile low without sacrificing any functionality.
