Review on Men'S Merino Wool Thermal Base Layer Pants By MERIWOOL - 100% Natural And Sustainable by Maurice Strawther

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overrated and overpriced.

I believe these to be overrated and overpriced. First off let me say that I ride a bike all year around in a Midwest college town so I have alot of different base layers and experience with the cold. The quality seems good but the insulation I get for the weight and price is just not worth it. I have a pair of 30/70 wool/polyester bottoms and they do a much better job with wind resistance and insulation. These 100% wool bottoms only top my other baselayers in moisture wicking and shorter drying length. Which is not by much. I have also noticed that when they become saturated with sweat it begins to release a pungent sulfur or cat urine smell which is very unpleasant, but once they dry they are virtually scentless. I would recommend Meriwool's top baselayer but I cannot recommend this bottom baselayer for this price.

Pros
  • Underwear
Cons
  • May not maintain its shape after multiple washes
