Customer Reviews Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Bottoms

great upgrade for cool days at work

I needed a good base layer for outdoor cycling during Ohio Winters. Temps can get anywhere down to around 0 (I don't ride once it hits 0 or below), but January & February we're up in the teens and twenties. I wanted something that was Merino wool (for the superior moisture wicking), and something that can keep you warm. I find synthetics like polyester or others are great at one or the other but not both. The Men's Classic thermal base layer bottoms are great, they're comfortable, not too "clingy," (fit true to size), the wick away sweat, and they keep me warm while riding. Kinda pricy, but I expected that when dealing with Merino wool. I pair these with the Intraknit Base Layer crew top.

Wear these almost everyday in the winter! Perfect for everything but days below -5 degrees.

I need just that extra layer on colder days in the south. Keeps my legs warm to keep up with my upper body when wearing a flannel shirt or sweater. Great under dress pants as well as jeans

Warm, fits well, and good looking!

Great fit and appears to be be quality craftsmanship. I will be testing in Iceland in early April, so performance has yet to be fully evaluated.

Love all your products! Have LIVED in you base layer top this winter!

Great bottom layer as always. I already have 3 smartwool and I enjoy wearing them every time

Live in these all winter..

Comfortable to wear. Fabric is great. Keeps me warm on cold days.

Amazing quality. Every detail is perfection. Soft, stretchy, great cut, well constructed. 10/10.

When it's cold, from wearing it at home or on the trail these keep me warm and comfortable!

These socks will have the performance I need to hike the AT.

Fabulous product! We'll be asking for SmartWool gift certificates when our family asks what we want for our birthdays or for Christmas!

I am replacing an old set of smart wool thermals. I use them multiple times during the winter for hunting and really like they're durability comfort and fit

Simply the best!

I am always concerned about how bottoms fit because I'm a lean guy with long legs. This base layer bottom fit like a warm glove. The pictures of models and their height and weight really help me select just the right size and I am always delighted when I first slip into a Smartwool item and it feels like it was made for me. Thanks for your attention to detail and customer response when I have any questions.

Very pleased with the warmth, fit and quality. As advertised this is a base layer and works perfect for hiking or any other activity in cold weather. Very pleased.

Great quality, true to size. Warm! Husband is very happy and wants to wear everyday - not just for Skiing!

Like the fit, comfortable and keeps me warm.

Excellent product.. I can trust Smartwool to make good clothing.

I am new to cold weather clothing. I am a Project Manager that often has to go out to the field to work. Normally, I do this in the southeastern USA (think Florida) where it doesn't much get any colder than 50F. I was called to a project in North Dakota and after speaking with my site personnel about the impending -20F weather, they assured me I needed better clothing. I purchased 1 set of base-layer clothing, based on their recommendations, and I am so glad I listened to them. I was warm and toasty the entire time outdoors for 5 days straight. I will definitely be getting SmartWool for all of my future cold weather needs. "#sweepstakes

Finally broke down and bought a proper Merino wool base layer for snowshoeing and hiking in cold weather and won't ever go back. So comfortable and don't get overheated even if I leave them on after the hike as they are breathable and super soft.

Great as tights around the house and as an underlayer when outside in winter weather. Stretches fine. I bought a medium and a small and they both fit me very well. Great quality. Highly recommend.
