I got these to wear under my shell-style ski bibs and they’re perfect for cold days on the mountain! I was a little worried when I saw how thin they were, but they kept me a warmer than any of my other thicker base layer bottoms. These were also great for uphill skiing and did an awesome job of wicking sweat on the hike up. Can’t wait to wear these on backpacking trips this summer!
Used it skiing and snowtubing in low 30's under non-insulated bibs. I tend to run cold but it waswarm, comfortable, and very lightweight! I am 5' and athletic. it was a bit long and the legs were tight and waist is a bit loose. That is the usual way most of these brands fit though. It was way warmer for the weight than two other brands I've tried (smartwool, and another one). But it worked well and keeping it!
The rise is exactly right. The large fit like a glove and stay put without being tight. And they are warm when needed but never overheat. And they don’t itch, which is hard to find with sensitive skin. They are perfect. I wish I had bought a second pair before they sold out for the season. Please bring these back next year.
After 14 years of semi regular use I decided to replace my old pair of icebreakers as they were wearing thin. This new pair did not disappoint! Kept warm working outside in 30 degrees wearing just under a pair of jeans. Softer than some other merino brands. Looking forward to seeing how well they hold up on the ski field. Icebreaker is a reliable brand and these leggings reflect the quality and durability of their products.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked the product. It fits comfortable and a perfect layer for cold weather activities. I have purchased it for the hike to Everest base camp as a base layer
Perfect for skiing and snowshoeing or other cold weather activities, and very well made. High rise is perfect for comfort.
Nice and snug-fitting, warm and comfortable. My dog appreciates the extra layer that keeps me out longer.
