Keith, You can find the highest quality Italian Merino wool cycling apparel at Vintage Velos http://www.vintagevelos.com . Send Alex an e-mail at alex@unitedsport.com and tell him specifically what you are looking for.

The helmet liner is called the "Sputnik" and is really comfortable and functional. I wear mine with the ear flaps flipped up and it makes a great beanie for just cruising around in. You should also inquire about the 100% Merino wool zip-neck dickie that is available. It is amazingly warm. The Merino wool shorts, knickers, and tights will soon be available and come with or without bibs. No one has ever made wool bib shorts, knickers, or tights until Woolistic came along. I've been wearing my prototype knickers and shorts and they are fantastic. Forget about saggy wool shorts from the 1970s. Alex puts in a little polyamid in the fabric, so there is just the right amount of cling and stretch. Arm, leg, and knee warmers are also available. And don't forget the 100% Merino wool super-lightweight and stretchy base layers (undershirts) in sleeveless and long-sleeve models. Not just for cycling, but any outdoor cold-weather activity. They also make great PJs!

End of sales pitch.
