Fit FAQs

What if I am between sizes?

If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up or down based on what fit type you would prefer, and based on how you plan to wear the piece. Our knitted merino is stretchy and you could realistically go with either size. If you would prefer an Athletic fit, size down. If you prefer a Regular or Relaxed fit, size up.

Do I need to size up/down to layer?

Generally, no, you do not need to purchase a different size than normal. Our base layers are designed to fit right into your current layering system. They are also designed to work with other products in our line, too. You may wish to adjust your sizing if you plan to wear one of our garments in a way that it is not intended, if that's the case please feel free to contact our customer service team for help.

Does your clothing run true to size?

Yes, our clothing runs true to size and is sized similar to most other American brands. If a sizing discrepancy is discovered, you will see fit advice in that product's specific listing.

Not sure what size or fit type you need?

Why Merino Wool?

two people sitting next to a river wearing merino wool

Moisture Wicking

Minus33 Merino Wool regulates the amount of moisture on your skin by absorbing any moisture or sweat on your body. Then, the absorbed moisture evaporates out of the fabric into the atmosphere.

Anti-Microbial

Merino Wool fibers naturally reject any bacteria in moisture or sweat as it is wicked away, so foot fungus and smelly odor will not be a problem while wearing our products.

Insulates When Wet

Wool will absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. If you do get wet, wool will insulate you better than cotton or polyester materials.

Fire Resistant

Merino Wool insulates against high temperatures and does not readily catch fire. If it does, it self-extinguishes. When Merino burns, it doesn’t melt and stick to the skin like synthetic fabrics do.

UV Protection

Don’t worry about sunburn on a sunny day summiting a peak. Lightweight layers have a UPF rating of 25. Midweight and Expedition have a UPF rating of 50+.

Renewable

Merino Wool has a low environmental footprint and naturally returns to the elements. Shear a merino sheep in the morning, and in the afternoon they’re happily nibbling their way towards renewing next season’s clip.

Feeling Cozy

I am a truck driver and an outdoor enthusiast. Regardless of if I'm sitting in a warm truck or out, active in the cold. These thermals are warm & comfortable. I'd love to see more colors to match them to my dogs hair 😆
5'3, 115 lbs...small fits perfectly. Someone who likes a tight fit would likely do well with XS.

Black / L

fabulous

LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE LEGGINGS. I have almost every style legging from every wool company. Woolx once made a soft heavyweight that was my favorite, but alas they no longer do. These are as thick, but more smartly designed - fit better and stay up well because of high waist. Cross country skiied hard for an hour today and they were awesome. The heavyweight zip jacket is also fantastic. For the jacket, I had to switch size because the reviews said go up, but that didn't work for me. Super nice about the exchange - easy to get to a real person. Thank you Minus33. SO happy to have you as my new wool friend!

great fabric, but tight fit--order 1-2 sizes up

I ordered small at first since the small kenai I have fits great. I was looking forward to an actual high waist to cover my lower back. Unfortunately, this style turned out way too small.

My exchange experience with customer service was wonderful and I was then sent mediums. Medium is still almost too small for my thighs and calves--though the length fits right. I am 5'3" 145lbs.
Large petite might have been a better fit, but I don't feel like doing another exchange.

High quality fabric that is so thick and nice. I practically live in these for the whole Wisconsin winter. I'd love to see other colors.

My mom who is 5' 125lbs fits the medium also, but needs to take off 4 inches from the length.

Wishlist: Petite option, slightly higher waist, more colors like navy blue, forest green and burgundy.

JDahl,

Sincerely,

The Minus33 Customer Service Team

Elastic band too narrow...

The rest of the pants are fine, but the waist band is not a great design. The elastic is about 1/2 in thick and really concentrates pressure in a way a wider band would not. This is uncomfortable and different from other pants of this type.

Jen,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any discomfort you experienced with the waistband of our Expedition - Juneau Women's High Rise Leggings. We value your feedback and will definitely take it into consideration for future design improvements.
