Arc'teryx  Satoro Merino Wool Base Layer Bottoms - Women's

Easy to pill，I bought them last year and this is my second winter wearing them. The ones I bought are black. The pilling is obvious and difficult to take care of. But these pants are very comfortable to wear, very light and soft.

I really love how finde this material is but also warm. Wore them hiking in Canmore for several days in the fall. Really outstanding. My only comment is that I found there to be some holes developing in the crotch area on the seams. I am very careful with my merino wool and care for it quite well, and have never seen this before. I mended the whole, but it’s in an awkward spot so…

Absolutely LOVE these base layers! The merino wool is so so cozy, keeps you so warm and comfy, and don’t smell when sweating in them all day :) I’ll ride for 6-7 hours in these and they keep me dry and comfortable! The zip pocket is a great feature and i love the reinforced high-waisted fit!

[Employee of arcteryx] I bought this a week ago and love the colour and fit. The pocket can hold my phone but unfortunately the fabric easily tore. Wish warranty would cover it or add a patch

I love these so much. I’ve been moving everything over to natural fibres and I wear these not just as baselayers in cool weather but also as training tights even in warm weather. I size up to a L just for comfort but the way the waistband is constructed allows them to stay up even when I’m jogging. I reach for these over my icebreaker, smartwool, and ibex tights for most things. Arcteryx please please please make a pair of bike shorts or 3/4 length in these I would wear them ALL summer. I’ve been wearing and washing these lots and no issues with wear and tear like some other reviewers say. I’ve been wearing arcteryx since the early 2000s

These base layers surprised me! Mainly because I never find base layers that also look good, but these are incredibly flattering - the seam on the back is curved to accentuate your peach shape :) The high waist also stays put - I wear them for backcountry skiing, resort skiing, and also wore them in a climbing gym when we got rained out and I had no other clothes to wear. They are quick drying, don't stink, and are very comfortable. I hope Arcteryx comes out with more colors. I definitely want to get a few more of these. I ordered more normal size (S) and found them to be sheer in some spots - which is fine since they are base layers. However if I wanted to wear them as leggings, I'd probably size up one size. The pocket fits a decent amount. Fits my iPhone 13 Pro Max or a Passport + credit cards. I'm 5'6 and the length was perfect, hits right at the bottom of my ankles.

Absolutely love my rho merino bottom, so I decided to order another pair. However now it's been revised to the Satoro merino bottom. The fit is almost the same, but the length is 3 inches shorter!! Now the stitching comes across my knee and is uncomfortable. Wish Arc'teryx would stop changing their products and sizing every year. Just make another style in boot cut like the synthetic ones now!

I bought these to replace an older pair of Rho wool bottoms that I loved and have been wearing for years. The fit is really similar to my old ones, which means a really flattering, comfortable cut with a smaller waist and ample room for my athletic legs. I sized up one size this time in hopes they’d be a little less see through to wear around the ski resort. They’re not, but I don’t care. They’re so comfy and warm and I love that they don’t need a drawstring on the waist to stay up. The new pocket that fits my iPhone is a nice touch too. They’re perfect to throw on for cold nights on alpine trips and backpacking. I’m usually a 4/6 and purchased a medium, although I think a small could’ve worked too.

I bought it in nov. 2023 for our trip to Patagonia! I totally loved it under my hardshell pants or even instead of a pijama during the cold nights in Tierra del Fuego. I only wished it was less transparent around the bottom, because I would love to wear it also as normal legging, that's how much I like it.

These are the best merino base layer I own, and I have many wool base layers. They're plenty warm on their own for skiing in the PNW when the temps are in the 20's, and when it gets colder than that, they are still thin enough to layer under a pair of tights or puffy pants. I can also wear them for a couple of days (including hiking and sweating in them) before they start to smell. In terms of sizing, they are pretty true to size. I go between a M and L and chose an L for these. The L has plenty of stretch/room without being baggy. I love them so much that I bought a 2nd pair.
