Wool is NOT outdated! I live on the U.P. and use wool, pile and other synthetics like Under Armour on a regular basis. Merino wool is very comfortable and if you have some older wool that is itchy just wear a layer of UA between that and your bare skin. One advantage wool has over some of the newer synthetics is that you can go to something like The Sportsmans Guide and get 4 pair of surplus wool army pants and a surplus wool sweater for 24 bucks! BTW, read up a little on why wool keeps you warm, the itchier the wool is the better.
