If the primary purpose of wool is insulation under a hammock, it's a poor choice. However, in deep cold there is nothing better than highly vapor permeable wool garments. When you must be active in really cold conditions, down is one of the worst choices. A wool cloak or wool poncho that supplements your hammock insulation are excellent gear for seriously cold weather.
