I wear these under dress pants for work when I have to be business casual but also have to go outside in Minnesota winters. I have an old pair of 175 3/4 length and I love them. I decided to buy a second pair this year to find the equivalent called 200 3/4 but noticed they have a horrible seam line across the bottom. Why did you design a seam across the bottom when people wear these UNDER pants. I do not want to go to work having people seeing a line across bottom under my dress pants. I'll have to purposely wear a long tunic to cover my bottom. Bring back the old design please and maybe I'll buy another pair. Thank you!
I originally bought these for a little warmth under my uniform, but they have been a comfy sleep layer base lately. The capri length is great for "no show" under other garments. I find the Icebreaker wool products to be long lasting and not itchy on my dry skin. I only wash my merino with wool detergent and mostly hang dry. I have thrown these in a cool/warm dryer a few times and have seen almost no shrinkage.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since I was in New Zealand in 2001 and discovered your Merino wool clothes I've been a big fan. I had never been able to wear wool before (way too itchy) but the saleslady convinced me that Merino was different and why. So I've been buying it ever since. I love the versatility of the 2 "weights" of base layers for all temperatures when I'm skiing. Once I started buying the 3/4 length long underwear bottoms, I prefer those so there isn't material bunching up inside the tops of my ski boots. I also appreciate how the anti-microbial fabric doesn't have to be washed very often as it really is fairly odor-proof. My only complaint is the fact that the fabric, especially the 200-weight, doesn't last as long as I'd like. Some of my older tops and bottoms deteriorated to the point where they had major holes and had to be discarded. That made me very sad, as they were some of my favorite pieces. But nothing lasts forever, and I'll keep buying them!
I like the length of these 3/4 leggings. I wear them skiing so my lower leg and feet have more room in my ski boot. I got lazy and tossed these in the washer on delicate once, and I suggest you maybe don't do that. Hand washing keeps the fabric soft. These leggings keep me dry on even my toughest days out on the mountain.
I love these Icebreaker Oasis leggings. I've worn them for skiing and winter hiking on Mt. Hood, and also to work for added warmth in chilly weather. The fabric is comfortable and cozy! Nice when paired with my Icebreaker ski socks, I don't have too much bulk around the calves. Definitely recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Warm and comfortable. The length is also great for snow sports to avoid bunching or too much fabric in your boot. Worn a few times this season and they're holding up well. Highly recommend.
These tights fit perfect, (not baggy) lightweight and the merino is always warm and soft. They allow for perfect movement. On uber cold days just layer 2 of them!
I love these leggings for the cold ski days in the north east. They maintain their shape and the warmth is unlike any other baselayer that I have tried
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are a little ways into winter and as long as the temps aren't totally frigid and I'm active, this layer is on. Super comfy, holds its shape well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super nice to have leggings that don't interfere with my ski boots!
