Pros A nice balance of warmth and breathability, super cozy, nicely articulated designExtremely breathable, ultralight stretchy nylon/Merino wool blendTough synthetic fabric, four-way stretch for great range of motion, excellent performance for the priceShorter length reduces bunching near ankles, seamless panels provide additional articulation and ventilation only where needed, high waist and thick waistband keeps bottoms in place100% recycled polyester, light fabric weight, impressive loft and warmth
Cons Expensive, stretches out in between washes, slow to dry when saturatedPrice may make you do a double-take, care instructions need to be followed when dryingHeavier than wool bottoms for their warmthNo-fly design could be inconvenient underneath other layers, fit may be too tight for some body types, priceyQuestionable durability, saggy bottom
Bottom Line Designed to keep you warm in the coldest conditions, this is a versatile pair of Merino wool bottomsA seriously tuned ultralight pair of wool/nylon blend leggings built for fast and light outdoor adventuresA great synthetic thermal long underwear at an unbeatable price for the warmth and durability they provideCarefully engineered 3/4 length thermals with compression pants-like tightness that’ll keep you warm and super comfortable while pursuing high output activitiesWarmer than most and lighter than the rest, this pair of long underwear redefines what is possible from a synthetic base layer
