What customers say:
The Merino wool base layer pants are praised for being warm, comfortable, and soft without being itchy. The fit is true to size, with some preferring a looser, less constricting feel by sizing up. Many find the pants work well as a base layer, keeping them warm in cold weather. The high-waisted design and wide waistband are also highlighted as positive features. However, some customers have experienced quality issues, with the pants wearing out or developing holes relatively quickly. Overall, the pants provide excellent warmth and comfort, though durability may be a concern for some.
