I have several pairs of the womens version of these. Love the 3/4 length because they stay out of your boot. I have had no issues with them riding up over my knees. I bought the male version for my brother and boyfriend and they both love them.

Cant beat these guys especially for the price when compared to other brands out there. Soft merino wool is great at managing temperature in all conditions. I wear these every day no matter the conditions under my shell bibs and am always happy. 3/4 length is the best for keeping them out of your boots and they dont ride up over your knees. Im a 33 waist and the medium is a great fit. Also pretty nice that you can wear them for a few days (or more) and not have them smell like gross baselayers. Wash with merino wash and hang dry.

I am 6'1" 175 lbs and I purchased a large... these were definitely a bit baggy all around the pants. I wanted something tighter so i will be trying the medium/smalls or going for another item all together.

Love the feel and warmth of these but finding the cuffss to ride up the calf at times. Not tight enough on the leg but over all a great set of affordable long underwear. Love the merino.

Now that we have some snow on the ground, I finally got to take my Stoic 3/4-length Merino 200-weight bottoms out for a few spins.

First of all, fit - I'm a 34"-waisted sort of dude with tree trunks for legs. The medium fit well, not stretching to the limit to accommodate me, but fitting snugly against the skin. Stoic's tendency to design high waists into their merino bottoms continues here, but that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Base layers aren't meant to be sagged. Knuckleheads.

The length is perfect for me. At 5'10" with a 31" inseam, the cuffs of these bottoms came down below the knee, but weren't so long that they interfered with my boots.

200-weight was about perfect for everything from 40* down to 20* under the Stoic Bombshell bibs and great under a pair of Schoeller Dryskin softshell pants in 40* weather. Anything under 20* may require some insulation.

So, there you have it: perfect merino bottoms for anything above 20*. Just pay attention to the size chart like Steve Brain says. These are one of the Stoic piece that run true to size.

Used these with ski socks while ski-touring, and they worked great. Read the sizing chart carefully - I'm normally a large, but went for a medium here and was happy with my choice. I have proportionally long legs, but when used with ski socks experienced none of the gaps which other reviewers mentioned. For me, I like the 3/4 length option, of keeping bottoms out of my ski boots.

I used these for hunting this spring and they were great aside from the gap between my socks and the underlayer. Reading the rest of the reviews, I guess this is a common problem.

Great pair. Super soft and comfortable. Great material and love the length (just below the knee)You will never want to get out of them.

I don't agree with high waistband reviews, it seems fine to me. Material is great, but they tend to ride up over my knees when sitting or taking a big step up. 1/2 length is probably more accurate.

Update: I have had these for a while now and I actually but my finger through the middle of the fabric (not a seam) while pulling them on yesterday. I was simply hiking them up like I normally do and my ring finger managed to pierce the fabric somehow. I realize the draw backs of wool in terms of durability, but these had been gently used until this point and pulling them on shouldn't be enough to tear them.

So i just received these via steep and cheap and i have to say out of the bag i am disappointed. if you look at them the distance from the bottom of the crotch to the top of th waist band is almost a foot meanin these fit just like the stoic merino boxers that rode up past my belly button. After trying they on this confirms my fears. they sit at the navel...if i fold the waist band over they fit normally. i am keeping them but with reservations. if stoic can fix the high waist band issues these would be killer

Once you have a pair of these you will never go back to full length. Very durable, great fit. I am 5'10 and use M. Very flexible, the wool is killer. I put these in the dryer all the time and it has not damaged the fabric on bit. Very breathable, super soft, nice flat stiching.

These are very comfy, I haven't had any itching issues and they generally ride where they are meant too. The only thing that takes a little getting used to is the 3/4 length, which ultimately I like, it was about 5 or 6 wearings before it didn't feel weird.

Great base layer, doesn't develop stink even after several days on the slopes. Soft non-itch wool. Could be a little loger. I'm 6'2" and there is a 2" gap between top of boarding socks and bottom of bottoms.

I just got my pair, and like several of the reviews below, I find them too short. They only go a couple inches below my knee. I'm concerned about them riding up. If they're paired with ski socks, they overlap fine and seem more likely to stay put. When I wore them around the house with a pair of tall hiking socks (the socks and baselayer met and didn't overlap), they rode up very quickly and left a gap. The material is great though. The wool is very soft and they seem well made.

I'm 5' 10" and 155 lbs. 32" waist and inseam. A medium fit well in the waist.

Picture attached is with ski socks, they barely overlap the top.

these are built with skiers and ski socks in mind. it is for this reason they only go a few inches below the knee.

These things are awesome. I have always gotten long underwear and pulled them up so that they didn’t make any strange spots inside my boots. I never liked having my pants on the inside of my boot, but other people that doesn’t bother. On some of my long underwear, I would pull them up to my calf, and they would be a little tight and restricting. I always thought that was just what had to be done if I didn’t want to cut them. I found these and thought “finally someone knows what I need to just ski”. Not only are they the right size and fit that I want so they come in above my boot, but they are merino as well. Soft and won’t smell if I decide to ski for a week straight and only wanted to get one pair. I decided to get more than that by the way, so no, I don’t walk around in dirty undies all the time. Get a pair, they’re pretty awesome.

Has anyone worn these under cycling shorts...

Has anyone worn these under cycling shorts as a base layer for colder days? If so, how'd these work?

Wafflecone,

I have the full-length version of these pants and have worn them cycling a few times. The only thing I noticed was that the crotch was roomy compared to my cycling shorts, and bunched on one side or the other. It never caused me much of a problem as far as chafing; Merino is pretty soft, and the seams are low-profile. Very warm, and worth their weight in gold.

Happy trails!

Warm and comfortable, BUT will not stay below knees. Pull up during normal standing and sitting posture. Returned. Too bad, I was hopeful and like Merino wool.

The merino is top notch, overall fit is fantastic. I wore these for over 12 days without washing them and they did not smell. The only gripe I have is the legs are a little short, could be an inch longer and use better elastic to hold them down. I had a couple days where the bottoms rode up and created a gap between my socks and baselayer...which is a real pain because I had to pull my pants up and fix during mid-activity. I'm also 5'-7" and got the large size, so you'd figure they'd be a bit longer. I did solve the problem using extremely long socks though, so not the end of the world.
