Comments about SmartWool Midweight Bottoms - Men's:
For the obvious use of a base layer in the winter these perform perfectly. They stay close to skin (will fit under all but the most hipster of pants) and are stretchy enough so as not to be restrictive. They are even a bit long--at 6'1" the XL had a bit extra leg to them, which I guess could bunch wrong if you don't make sure they're laying flat at the ankles, but I see it as added insurance that everything is covered.
I actually wore them under shorts in July when the mosquitoes got out of control while backpack camping. It looked goofy but the merino wool breathed so well I wasn't sweating at all even mid-day. Then comes cool night and you're set by the campfire, and finally they make a great layer especially if you don't dig the slippery inside of your sleeping bag.

I've got the top as well... You can wear it for days and days and still no smell.
Impressive ability to keep your bad smell off.
Nice and warm. Worth every dollar.
Became my second skin!

Used as pajamas during backpacking trip.
When stepping out into 31 deg weather in the middle of the night I was very happy that I bought them.

I live in Minneapolis and ride my bike to work year round. This is the first thing that goes on (infact they rarely came off last winter) in the morning. They keep your lower half warm and comfortable. I wore these, work khakis and snow pants as my 3-layer system for my legs. As is commonly said the Merino wool controls odor very well. I washed maybe twice/week or less. Also use them for winter camping. Absolutely love these pants.
I noted that they run big, because they actually run long. They run into my boots and down to my heels. Or I just cuff them up a bit. Not a big issue, just be cognizant.

Comments about SmartWool Midweight Bottoms - Men's:
I slept in these the first night that I received them from the store. I was very impressed. They are lightweight, comfortable, and breathable. I hate sleeping with anything on my legs but these were so comfortable I didn't even notice. They were warm and never rode up on my legs or anything. I'm looking forward to my next backpacking trip with these. I know they will perform very well.
A bit on the pricey side but well worth it.
