Wool can mean many different things, but this definition is about the clothing product. Wool is made from the wool of sheep, and is woven into a fabric. Wool clothing is warmer than any other insulation available for its mass. Sure you can put on a huge coat and several thermal shirts, but you can put on one wool coat and be just as warm while wearing less. Wool is also a very good insulator while wet. Take my word when I say it, I have fallen through ice while ice fishing, and I would have froze to death if i was not wearing my wool coat and wool pants. That is actually what saved my life, because the closest person was 45 minutes away. Wool, get some and you'll probably never go back. Unless you don't like wool.
