But the likes of firstlite erk me. Really cheap nylon based merino sold at a premium.

It’s the throw away culture of all this clothing that is becoming fast hunting fashion. Hunters element seem to be leading this here.

There's fleece then there's fleece. You're probably referring to the proper cheap and nasty pieces.

Polartec grid fleece is an outstanding material that is extremely difficult to wear out.

Agreed on the merino. I no longer use merino as a baselayer, it's all polartec now. Polartec baselayers will last 10-15 years. The merino blends from all the hunting brands wear out and stretch for me, probably an unpopular opinion but is just my experience. Not a fan of paying $160+ per merino top for it to wear out after a year or so
