Why We Built The Spruces Mid-Weight Merino 3/4 Baselayer Bottom

This season, we tweaked the Spruces Mid-Weight Merino 3/4 Baselayer Bottom to thrive as our first layer of defense against chilly weather and moisture in the alpine. We updated the merino wool blend so that it pulls moisture off of our skin while we skip up the skin track, traps heat while we sit on the lift, and fights odor so that we can do it all again tomorrow.

Nice fabric, bad fit

I think these would be great if the waist was a little higher—the back rides so low you’ll feel like a plumber every time you ride a chairlift. The fabric is the right weight to be pretty versatile and I like the 3/4 length.

Just Like Described

These are not skin tight. The description says semi-fitted and that is what they are. The length is what is shown in the picture. As with other reviews there is a little gap to socks but I prefer the two not interfering. I have never thought the area blow my knee and above my upper calf was causing me to freeze to death. I wear a 36 pant and the waist is tight enough but I do not think it would be too tight for a 38 inch waist either. Adds good warmth to my shell pants.

about 3" too short. Socks will not reach pant leg. Waist is correct but poor fit in the crotch and rear.

Good fit, reasonable warmth

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:
S
Weight:

I like wearing 3/4 length when skiing, to keep bunches out of my ski boots. These are comparable in weight to capilene, but merino wool so a bit warmer. Great flexibility and fit. I'm 6' and 160", 30x33 pants, and the S fits me well. Snug, but secure. I like them. They're a little shorter than some of my other 3/4 longies, but they still come a bit below the knee (maybe 3"), so they work great with tall ski socks.

3/4 length long underwear

I like 3/4 length long underwear for skiing. It reduces the bulk in ski boots. These however are too short by about 3 inches. That means that even with ski socks, they do not cover the top of the socks. They are slightly longer then knee length.

Nice piece, but too loose and baggy in the crotch for my liking. Four stars because it did appear well made other than my one complaint.
