Very comfortable and soft, especially after washing these (which i did on a gentle/wool cycle in the washing machine, but then hung up to dry and only put into the dryer for 5 minutes on wool setting to fluff up - super soft afterwards). Generally,I would not recommend to completely dry merino wool in the dryer- it makes the fabric stiffer. Size: I’m 5’8” and weigh 126 lb with a thin built, but long legs and I got a Medium in the leggings, which fit me well lengthwise, but I could have probably gotten away with the Small size, as they are a little loose on me in the hip area, but I am still able to wear these easily underneath of my hiking/trekking pants ( even the ones that are not a lose fit). They are very comfortable and perfect for cold weather- I got mine for a trip to Iceland (I went end of May to mid June and temperatures were between 30-42 degrees:) the price is very reasonable and the quality is definitely comparable , if not better, than some of those famous brands.

I love the meriwool undergarments. They are warm, soft not itchy, and plenty of stretch and a little extra room. I'm 5'1" 135lb and curvy (large hindquarters, thighs and calves) and the size medium fits perfect. The elastic is soft and has extra give to it, it doesn't squeeze too tight like some other brands. The wool is light and easily layer under most pants. I never knew the beautiful feeling of having wool layers but now I will use them every winter. They're so breathable I never sweat with these on, they also don't hold onto odors and can be aired out. I'm definitely getting a second pair of both top and bottom. My husband gets the mens size and loves them too. Read more
Just got them, wore while walking the dog this morning. Wind chill 37, worn w/ jeans. Regulated temperature perfectly--never cold, surprised because they are thin. Worked up a sweat, they wicked away moisture and never held the damp. At 5'6" 137 lbs, surprised the mediums were a little loose around the knees, they didn't hug my legs and weren't at all tight, length perfect at the ankle. Waist fits perfectly and is comfortable. Don't know if they will sag after a few uses, will up date when that becomes apparent one way or the other. Can't get over how soft they are, much more cosy than my synthetic base layers. 1/24/22 update: wore them under ski pants in 17-24 degrees. While working hard skiing after 2 hours they did feel damp and chilly. However, 15 mins after stopping they dried out and kept me warm while sitting in a chair watching the skiers come down the mountain. Read more
These fit my pear-shaped body really well. I need a high rise in my tights and these come up just enough. They might be too high on someone skinnier. I love how thick and warm they are. The color is very versatile and does not look like "underwear." They launder well in the machine on cold and hung to dry. I wore them for weeks without washing while I was traveling and they did stretch out quite a bit... to the point that I think they looked a little silly in the knees and butt. But they weren't smelly! For reference: I am an athletic 5'5" and 145# with ample hips. Read more
As an avid runner, I was searching for a base layer to use in cold weather months in Ohio to keep me warm and dry. Having used "dry fit" style base layers and ending up soaked to the bone, I was ready to try anything! Fortunately, it didn't come that. Meriwool has developed a base layer that is comfortable, warm, and DRY! I run outside in the coldest months, sometimes in the teens and twenties (Farenheit). Meriwool's bottoms are soft and not the least bit itchy. They provide a warm layer, but most importantly, at the end of my run, I am not wet from the inside out. I purchased a small, and at 5' 8", 118 lbs., they are long enough and run true to size. I have washed them numerous times, and they remain like new. Meriwool has been a game changer for me! Read more
Love love these pants! I am 5'9" 140 lbs with a curvy shape, & these pants fit beautifully. Finally, long underwear that is long enough! I work outdoors in the winter, & I wear these mostly for work under a pair of down-insulated pants. My legs are toasty & comfy. This is my first time trying wool base layer. I had previously worn synthetic layers that felt soft & nice if I stood still, but wet & gross once I started moving/sweating. I was concerned the merino would be scratchy, but really it is not. It feels luxurious & soft. It absorbs the sweat & keeps me dry. I was also hesitant to splurge on expensive (to me) long underwear. However, after trying them & being truly comfortable all day (rather than freezing/sweating & coming home crabby), I am so glad I made the investment. I plan to buy another pair. Read more
I love these some or under my pants as the winter winds blow. They are durable and the size I ordered was what I needed. They are soft and I enjoy wearing them. I want more!! Read more
I got this to wear under my work clothes. I love the material and it’s very warm. But unfortunately it already has multiple holes, after just a couple months of use. I think this is great to hike, but not suitable for high intensity movements Read more
