I've bought merino wool base layers and pants for the last 20 years. Don't waste your money on these. After wearing them 3 or 4 times, my leggings blew a hole when I merely put them on! So disappointing, and needless to say, I will not be ordering again.
Leggings ripped easy not even sure how or when it happened, just noticed used once.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These leggings are so soft and comfortable and extremely warm when worn under a windshield layer. I suffer from the cold and sometimes have to be outside for 12-14 hours a day and I have tried so many different warming layers and these are by far the best. Finally something that actually works. I love how snuggly they feel when I put them on and how comfortable they stay all day.
I love these leggings. I was worried that 100% wool would be itchy, but these were not itchy at all. I also was a little worried these might be too warm (I wear them under my insulated ski pants). I decided to go with these rather than the thinner option and am glad I did. These kept me just the right temperature whether I was skiing or snowboarding.
I am a cold person and wear these as a base layer regardless of whether or not I'm going to be outside. They are warm, soft, and very comfortable. They look great too! They do run small, so size up. I usually wear a small, but returned them for a medium and they fit perfectly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in Vermont so consequently wear icebreakers all winter - indoors and out. I'm glad they started enumerating the pairs as I've been wearing the warmest ones lately due to our colder winters. My dog and I walk 3-5 miles daily and I couldn't live without them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these things. It's cold where I live, and cold in my old house. I wear them as a base layer October-April, and wear them sometimes as tights with dresses. They hold up well and have a lovely soft feel next to my skin.
I've only worn these a few times but it has been very cold and they are keeping me warm on the slopes. They are very soft and comfortable - not at all scratchy. I'm actually thinking about ordering another pair.
I love these leggings. They are the perfect base layer under my ski pants for colder days. The fit is perfect and they are incredibly warm and comfortable. I can tell these will last a very long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When the chilly nights finally come to SoCal, I practically live in these. I have more than a dozen pairs and have been buying them for years. Sadly, the quality isn't like before and they don't last.
