Super warm thermal leggings!

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Bought these to have for when it is cold and to keep me warm when camping during winter. I did a lot of research before I purchased these. They are pricey, but worth it. First of all they are thicker and the fit is perfect. They are also flattering and not so thin which allows me to wear them as normal winter leggings as well. Also as pjs around the house during winter too. I loved them so much I decided to buy two more pairs and the base layer tops to match. If you are able to afford these and want thermal base layers that last then these I highly recommend. I’m 5’6, weigh 133 lbs, 30 inch lower waist and a medium fits me perfect.

True to size

They are high waisted and true to fit. I'm a curvy woman and they fit very comfortably. I wore these under my jeans in Japan in January. They kept me warm and they are oder repellent which is nice while traveling. Highly recommend.

In love!

I usually struggle to find the perfect fit in bottom base layers, but I was pleasantly surprised to find these fit like a glove right out of the box. I have a bigger bum and run into the issue of layers either being too snug at the waist or too loose at the thighs, but I did not run into this issue at all with these. I wear them casually after a day on the slopes as well and can absolutely see myself wearing them camping, hiking, and in just about any outdoor scenario where the temps drop!

Low rise

The fabric is nice. Unfortunately these are low rise and definitely made for someone with a flat butt. Nice and long though which is what I like. Couldn't keep them though due to that low rise.

New layers!

I purchased new merino wool layer for a river trip in February. I loved them. Just an added layer to my fleece layer but they were Perfect. Can wait until they are the only layer under my drysuit.

My favorite baselayer!

I love my Smartwool Classic Thermal Merino base layers! They are soft, super warm (especially given their thickness), retain their shape, and don't get stinky, even after multiple wears between washes. I wear them downhill skiing, touring, and under my street clothes at night. I normally wear an XS, but I sized up in both the bottom and top.

They're soft, but don't hold in heat

I really wanted to like these! They're a great color, they fit under my other pants nicely, and they are super soft. However, it added zero warmth to what I was wearing. It actually held in cold more than it kept me warm. Also, it really attracts and holds onto pet hair.

Brilliant!

Very pleased with this. I get extra 15% OFF Coupon from here: promo1024.com

don’t waste your $$$$

runs small, weirdly tight on my calves. itchy. too short. attracts EVERYTHING so they easily become covered in hair lint etc. don’t like the rise (wish it was higher). they do a decent job of keeping me warm but they’re so uncomfortable i don’t like wearing them. wish it was easier to make a return.
