Took these on a week of spring skiing and the merino kept me warm without that sweaty itch I get from synthetics. The 3/4 cut means no bunching around my boot cuffs, which was my main gripe with full-length layers. They’ve washed up great so far.
I was worried about bunching under my ski pants, but these lay completely flat while still keeping my legs warm on the lift. The merino feels soft against skin, not scratchy at all, and the 3/4 cut means no extra fabric around my boots.
