Does snow stick to sheep? Of course. Merino may keep you warm but snow sticks to this jacket. But like a sheep you'll stay warm long after the snow stacks up on you. Plus this jacket is not really for charging in the mountains more of an everyday jacket which keeps the dingelberries to a minimum.

A lot of merino products are a very smooth weave that are not dingle friendly. You can wear this as an outer layer reasonably well during a storm. However, if you are prone to crashing you will end holding quite a lot of snow.

The sleeves are longer than John Holmes todger and may not fit the average non-simian man.
