When you put on your midweight bottoms for a day of skiing or hiking, you tend to end up with a lot of material bunched up at the top of your boots. Not only is this extra material annoying, but it also makes you sweat more. The Icebreaker Men's BodyFit200 Legless Pant is a ¾-length Merino wool pant that's designed specifically for layering with winter boots. Because it only runs to your boottops, you won't have any bunched material to deal with. The merino wool also holds less odor than synthetic materials, making it an excellent choice for extended backcountry and mountaineering trips. After a week at base camp, these pants will still smell like they did on day one.
Bottom Line: The Legless Pant is shorter and better smelling than your long, stinky synthetic pants.
So wrap with these .Great for skiing as they don't go in your ski boots so no double seem to cause pressure. No itch and No oder . You cant beat Fine Wool
I wore these up Kilimanjaro with just a soft shell pant and was reasonably warm considering the temp (~10F w/ wind chill). They were great for sleeping in as well. It seems like they shrunk in length after washing so that there is a gap between the top of my socks and the underwear, but I didn't notice it while hiking - only during the middle of the night bathroom runs.
I know these are great for skiing, but how about just as a hiking/backpacking baselayer? Cold ankles can mean cold feet. Any advice on this? I like that these are cheaper, lighter, and take up less room than the full legging, but I don't want to detract from the warmth.
Awesome! Gotta love the merino wool. These guys do a great job keeping your legs warm on moderately cold days. While they do just fine on colder days going with the 260's (mid-weight) is a better idea. Have no complaints except that if you want to use them for something other than skiing e.g. hiking or camping you'll need to wear ski socks or otherwise you'll likely have a gap between your sock and the leg opening. Also I guess the other drawback is that there isn't a fly but that's not a big deal because it's not too difficult to pull them down to let your natural stream flow. The best thing about them is that they're made of merino wool and that means no stink, awesome warmth, great wicking capability, and very cozy! After multiple days of skiing in them (sometimes without showering for those multiple days) they still don't stink! Unreal! I will never go back to a cap or synthetics after using merino wool. I also love the fact that you don't have to worry about any bunching around your knee or having the need to try to stretch them over your boot. Two words for ya: BUY EM'!
I'd be running in cold (sub 40) and/or using them for backpacking, for sleeping and/or hiking when it is cooler... But if they are as warm as you say, I might need to drop that to sub 30. :-) I have icebreaker tops in the 200, 260, and 320, and the 200 is fine in the low 40's...
haha. The combo of ice breaker, cloudviel, and shell keep me very warm, but my knees do get cold at times. I think you will really love these pants. They are comfortable, warm even when wet, stink proof and light. I'll never use another base layer again.
After cutting the leggs of my base layers for years, someone finally made bottoms for me!
These blow my cap3's away. Hands down. They keep you warm, wick well, and won't have everyone in the cabin wondering what animal died in your room after multiple days of hard use.
The short length is perfect for skiing. No more trying to get a perfectly flattened base layer under, or over your sock so your ski boot doesn't force a foot amputation. No more huge bunch of fabric at the top of your boot.
Anyone wear these as a running tight, or for hiking/backpacking under a pair of shorts? Looking for a combination on backpacking trips that is lighter and more comfortable than shorts + pants. I'm comparing to Arc'teryx Rho AR Boot-Cut Bottom...
These are as comfortable as they get and super light. I wear as a shorts + Pants combo under a pair of cloudviel run don't walk boxers under my ski pants for very colder conditions (10 to -10). and the comfort is divine. What kind of weather are you be running in?
The idea gave this skier the chills, until I wore the legless pants and vowed to never wear full length pants again, which means the others pants I bought this year are getting altered...
Like just about everything else Icebreaker, these are great. Warm, comfortable and no stink! I've worn them for multiple days of skiing and they don't hold smell like synthetics (like underarmour). I'm also fine in just these under my unlined goretex pants down to about 15 degrees.
I buy a lot of clothing/items that are black. Whenever possible, I view the other colors to see more detail. Or even go to other websites and search for the same item to get more detail. --Nope, no fly. BUMMER !!!

These long underwear are fantastic! Absolutely no itch and with the boot-top, I had zero chaffing around my shins/ankles because of sock/underwear overlap inside my ski boot. I am also really impressed with how thin these are and how warm they keep you. This is the first Icebreaker gear I've purchased but it absolutely won't be my last.
My skin is very sensitive and I have not found any wool I could use up until now. Bought boxer, t-shirts, legless pants etc from Icebreaker and I use them all the time. Keeps you warm even when you are wet. Dries quickly and do not stink (7 days used in the backcountry hiking for 5-8 hours per day). One thing that is a bit off is the sizing. It seem that L is not always the same size. Have one sweater 150 g that is a lot smaller than sweater 260 g (none of them are washed).
Perfect length for wearing with ski boots. Warm, comfortable, excellent wicking, and never stinky. A fly would be handy, but it's easy enough to work around.
These things are some of the most comfy pants that I've ever worn. Light and warm, but breathable and with no stink factor. I'll never buy capilene again. I initially picked these up for skiing (nothing in my boot!) but have used them for everything outside, active, and cold. I wish they had a fly...and then realized that Icebreaker makes one, I just picked up the wrong version. Oh well. On the tag, you can find info in order to look up the sheep that grew your wool. Cool! I'm gonna send him some sheep-food so that I can get a killer shirt next.
