These leggings are much thicker and warmer than the more high end name brands. Not itchy, wool hasn't showed any signs of fuzzing off or deterioration after multiple washes, (unlike Smartwool products). People need to give these a try.
I've been impressed at the value Merino Protect offers. I've purchased several of their shirts, both long & short sleeves. Their socks have rapidly become some of my favorites. So, I decided to give the 100% Merino Wool thermal base layer long underwear a try.I plan to use these under my waders when fly fishing, but they could be used under jeans or other pants as well. The weight is perfect, but seem lighter than my Smartwool 250g garments. From my experience the wool material gets a bit fluffier after a few washings. I purchased a large as suggested by Amazon, but think I would prefer a tighter fit for my long underwear. At 170lbs / 5'10", I think I would consider downsizing to a medium.At the end of the day, my Merino Protect shirts, long underwear, and shoes are so comfortable, I hate to take them off. I follow the recommendations for washing & drying and have purchased enough that I only need to launder them every 10 days or so. The wool allows for each garment to be worn 2-3 times before needing to be washed. The price is as good as I have been able to find for quality Merino Wool.
good thickness. comfy. true to size.
