Who It's Ideal For
Perfect for hikers tackling significant elevation changes, trail runners exercising in cold conditions, and ski mountaineers seeking a reliable thermal first layer. Ideal as a base layer under softshell or hardshell pants on days ranging from 0°C to 10°C.
When NOT to Use It
Not suitable as the sole layer in extreme sub-zero conditions (prefer tights with a higher merino wool percentage). Avoid for water activities or heated indoor sports where maximum ventilation is needed.
Care and Maintenance
Machine washable at 30°C with delicate detergents. Quick air drying, no tumble drying. Maintains elasticity and breathability even after 50+ washes. Do not use fabric softener to preserve the fabric's technical properties.
Recommended Pairings
Complete your layering system with technical trekking socks for full leg protection, a McKinley softshell jacket for wind protection, and a 20-30L trekking backpack for day hikes. Pair with mid-cut boots for maximum ankle support on uneven terrain.
