When I take these off at camp, its consistently surprising how cold it actually is. The fabric is comfy and is nice to my dry skin. They're long enough to cover my whole legs and still sit right on my waist. My only complaint is the waistband. My belly roll folded the band in half on the first wear, and I haven't been able to recover the shape yet. They wear great, it just bothers the part of my brain that doesn't like creases.
This item is listed as 100% merino wool on the rei site. I love the fit. It feels it will be warm. Love its extra high waist. BUT its tag says 57% merino wool and 43% polypropylene. REI, consider fixing that descriptor on the ap. Its likely going back for return. If Im paying over $100 for this baselayer it should be 100% merino. I got a size large. Im 5 foot 7 and 160lbs. Great comfy fit.
Super comfy not itchy at all very stretchy
I wore these as a base layer while camping. They were very comfortable and kept me warm! However, they are very see through so I will not be wearing these one their own. I am looking forward to trying out with winter sports.
