Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Bottoms

you can wear these as leggings or a base layer

I wear them with dresses. When I received them, I thought they were not heavy enough to be warm, but they are. I love them . Well worth the money.

This was my first pair of base layer bottoms from Smartwool and I'm very happy with them. I've been wearing them when I walk with one of your tops and they are exactly what I've been looking for. They fit well and keep me very warm.

This was a gift for my daughter in law who lives in Portland, OR. She loves these, wears them all the time. She was so comfortable that she forgot to put her pants on !

I love these! I have 4 pairs. I have never been comfortable with synthetics. I have thin legs and tried to build them up to no avail. They get cold at 55 and I start wearing these. Yesterday took a long walk at 30 and these were nice and toasty. They are lightweight, so you can wear them under anything! One pair of 4 years old and just showing wear.

I used these for ski touring (under my waterproof layer) for colder days. They're comfortable and cozy and wick moisture well. #SmartwoolLove

Love this base layer. Super comfy, warm and breathes well. Great for ski touring.

These are very high quality base layers. Compared to my Icebreaker base layers they are much softer with no itch at all. They are considerably thicker and warmer than the 150 weight. I think they will be perfect to wear while shoveling snow and skiing. #SmartwoolLove

I use these for all my winter outdoor activities. I throw these on under a water resistant/windproof shell and they are fantatstic. I use them only for when it's getting down closer to -20 or else I overheat after a while of hiking. They are very comfortable and even though I have short legs it's easy to roll them up at the bottom #SmartwoolLove

These base layer pants get the most use in my wardrobe - they are an absolute must have piece for anyone who spends anytime outside in the negative temperatures. These are always on me when I'm skiing, snowshoeing, etc. but get the most daily use when I walk my dog in the bitterly cold Alberta winters. They keep me warm, without soaking me in sweat and are incredibly durable. Absolutely recommend these for everyone to have in the winter! #SmartwoolLove

These base layer bottoms sre so versatile! They are comfortable and keep your body temp even all day. When I go ice fishing, skiing, snow mobiling, or snowshoeing, these are the baselayer I use. #SmartwoolLove

Love the way they fit. Nice comfortable waistband . Great quality. I wash them gentle and separately and line dry to keep them looking new.

Woolx base layer pants. I wear them for errands in 25 degree weather. Will wear under ski pants when I ski.

wear them everyday - soft, warm, comfortable, natural, breathable - love them!

I use these pants for running in anything that feels like below 30 degrees (Windchill has been to about 10 degrees so far this season) and they have been wonderful at keeping my legs warm without being itchy. I'd recommend for all outdoor activities. I love the zippers on the bottom for ease getting on and off. I would say they are mid to low rise compared to other leggings I own but I've had no issue with sagging or being able to comfortably tuck in a top layer while running.

I am cold most of the time but when winter arrives in upstate NY it is uncomfortable. My new Smart Wool liners are fantastic! They are thin enough to fit under my pants and add that extra warmth. I did get 250 and they do not seem too warm.

These baselayer bottoms (long johns) are super soft and cozy and have a very nice color (I ordered the woodsmoke heather). They do run long-ish so if you have short legs they might bunch up at the bottom, but all in all they fit well even for gals like me with lower body muscles (read: booty). They are great for working or playing outside in cooler than 40 degrees.

Perfect weight, nice smooth fit. Just as good as my first pair which lasted over 5 years.

I am a wilderness field guide and I wear these under a pair of fleece soft shell pants for 8 days outdoors. The wool is the perfect baselayer for days when the wind is chilly and the sun is behind the clouds. They dry quickly and theyre warm to wear as a base layer under rain pants too. Don't leave your smartwool clothes outside over night to dry.. the mice and moths will totally eat them up and destroy them! We aren't the only beings in the woods who love Smartwool!

I'm really enjoying these bottoms along with the base layer shirt I bought from Smartwool recently. They are very soft and comfy, keep me warm at night while camping, and fit great.

I wear these 24/7 (I have 3 pairs). They are the softest most comfy ones I have. Love the gentle non constricting waistband. And the non banded ankles. Love love

Purchased for base layering - skiing and regular winter wear. First time to purchase Smartwool - was absolutely surprised by the quality, fit and feel of the product. We are sold on Smartwool!

My go-to base layer pant for winter sports (ice-climbing, cross-country skiing, hiking, snowboarding). Nothing else I've tried comes close to matching Merino wool in thermal regulation during exertion in cold temps. I'm the right temp when I'm sweating, I'm the right temp when I'm standing around belaying. Love the feel of these pants. The waist band is high enough to not sag down my butt below my snow pants when I'm moving. Sizing- I'm a 5'4" woman, 135lbs, the M fits great- form-fitting with margin to move and bend. #sweepstakes

I Nordic track skied this weekend in Crested Butte, CO. The temperature was negative 14! Theses bottoms along with the SW long sleeve top I stayed toasty warm! They were worth every penny and more!

Smartwool base layers are the best! As a groundskeeper for over 45 years I've tried just about every base layer on the market. I work outside year round in Wyoming, many times with the temps below zero. In my opinion Smartwool base layers can't be beat! The fit is amazing, a flat band waist that doesn't bunch or pinch, material that doesn't sag, bag or bunch at the butt, crotch and knees (even after wearing for a week at a time) and you can't beat the longevity, this new pair is replacing my 5 year old pair that is still wearable. These keep me warm even when I am soaking wet and it's cold. Did I mention they are cuddly soft? I will buy these again and again and again.
