    Icebreaker OR Smartwool

    I am debating on Smartwool or Icebreakers. I think they are both the same quality and 100% Merino Wool.
    What are your thoughts? Which would you choose and why?

    Icebreaker is expensive.... WOW
    Does name really matter? As long as it 100% Merino Wool, i think you are paying for the name fellas.
