I bought these cause I wanted a thin base layer that felt soft and had a nice shape. These ran smaller and also have a tight feel. There is no flexibility which is important when doing snow sports. They were soft and thin. But make sure you know your exact size. For the price I want more comfort.
There is very little stretch as others have said but that is to be expected with this fabric and it fits my curvy body fine. They are slightly see-through. It’s snowy out and I’m a little cold just from school drop off so not sure they’d work well for all day snow sports without several more high quality layers.
I was looking for something 100% wool and comfy, these for the bill. I have a pair of smart wool base layer bottoms that are a much lower rise and I don’t find them comfortable during all-day wear. These Kari traa high rise bottoms are soooo great, def need more pairs!
I purchased XL should have gotten L. Nice quality that you pay for w Kari Traa.
Thin but warm, and not itchy. Runs true to size, and has a true high waist! Great under other pants. I got them to wear under riding breeches in cold weather and for skiing. They work for both!
Fit well and worked under my side zip pants for snow shoeing.
I ordered these in S and M. I'm 5'6 and 125 lbs, with a 30.5" inseam. Leg length was adequate in both sizes. The description said high-waisted and they were. The size S were a little tight in the calf. The size M were a little big in the waist. I decided to return them because they didn't have a gusseted crotch.
These run a bit smaller than Land's End base layers, especially in the waist. I would have sized up but they are warm and comfortable enough.
