I still have and use 3 ProTogs wool jerseys, and some great heavy duty leg warmers. The leg warmes are pretty holey, but function well under lycra tights on cold days. The jerseysare very light weight merino wool, or they called it "SuperWash". I have always washed them with no shrinkage, including some dryer time. I will be sad when they finally wear out, but it has been many years already, maybe 10 or more. Best part: I bought them from a Nashbar outlet store for 3 bucks each when ProTogs went out of business. Two pairs of shorts did not last too long. It's too bad companies like ProTogs and Swobo were beat up so much by the hype that oil based products were better. Ron "I love sheep, but not THAT way" Gurth
