Review on ๐Ÿ‘– Ultimate Comfort with Minus33 Merino Wool 803 Franconia Womenโ€™s Midweight Bottom โ€“ No Itch & Eco-Friendly Fabric by Randy Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Soft, thick and warm. Great alternative to Smartwool or LL Bean

Very happy with this product so far. I've been looking for a replacement for a pair of LL Bean merino wool briefs I bought in 2011 for months. LL Bean's new product doesn't wrap the fabric around the waistband, leaving the bare elastic against the skin. A comparable Smartwool base layer is $95! This Minus 33 merino wool base layer is soft, comfortable and warm. The wool is thick and finely woven, not spiky at all. Lies flat. With pleats at the crotch and a wrapped waistband, it sits comfortably in the middle without chafing or pulling. I'm 5ft 6in, 135lbs, medium fits perfectly if a little long (so there are a few creases in the legs but nothing in the way or uncomfortable). I'll update this review after washing, but I plan on washing it in cold water (according to directions) in a mesh bag (like I do with other initiates).
