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.

These hearty mid-layers are built to last with a double layer Ponte knit that is sure to beef up your next adventure.

Wilderness Details

Ponte de Roma is the name of a double knitting technique that consists of two layers of fabric knitted together. Ponte fabric is tightly knitted, making it very durable. It's stretchy, soft, doesn't wrinkle, and has a naturally flattering drape, which lets these mid-layers crossover perfectly from the outdoors to the office, and everything in between.

Learn About Layering

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.

My new favorite garment!

This heavyweight 1/4 zip wool top is great! The fabric feels luxurious and warm, and the fit is perfect over the midweight Chocorua long-sleeve shirt (both size medium). The only problem is finding a moment that I'm not wearing it if it needs to be washed.

Hi Milton!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We are thrilled to hear that our Heavyweight 1/4 Zip Wool top has become your new favorite garment. We pride ourselves on using high-quality fabrics to provide warmth and comfort. We're happy to hear that the fit is perfect when layered over our Chocorua long-sleeve shirt. We apologize if you're having trouble finding a moment to wash it - it must be that good! Thank you for choosing our product. Happy adventures!

XL seems to run bigger than other Minus 33

I like this A LOT.
I have perhaps a dozen Minus 33 tops and sometimes a L feels tight. But, I ordered XL and it is just too big. This top seems to “run large.”
Just wore it for a week skiing (although not camping) in British Columbia. It was warm enough to wear alone under a lightly insulated jacket.
Love the pocket.
Jeannie, thanks for your excellent customer service.

FlyNavy,

Thank you for your feedback on our Expedition - Men's Wool 1/4 Zip Wilderness top. We're glad to hear that you like it and found it warm enough for your skiing trip in British Columbia. We're sorry to hear that the XL size ran bigger than expected for you. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration for future sizing adjustments. Thank you for being a loyal Minus33 customer and for your kind words about our customer service. We hope you continue to enjoy our products.

Very pleased with the quality. I’m 5’10, 200 lbs. Bought xl, next time I will order the xxl, tighter than I would like it to be around chest.

John,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Expedition Merino Wool 1/4 Zip. We're thrilled to hear that you are pleased with the quality of the product. However, we apologize for the sizing issue. We understand how important it is to have a comfortable fit, so we would be happy to offer you a free exchange for the XXL size. Thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy your next purchase with us. Have a great day!

A little on the pricey side but you pay for what you get, and it is perfect on fit and finish.

Great Customer Service

Only worn the top two times, but it seems well made. Hopefully it holds up. If so, that is the last box to be checked because it is a great top otherwise. It is a good weight and soft when touching skin. I had a few questions about the product and received excellent customer service from Steven D. at minus 33. I only own a few minus 33 items. As long as they hold up, I will be a fan. Seemingly awesome products with stellar customer service is hard to pass up. Initially the product earns a good rating but I have not given it the test of time and hard wear. Giving 5 stars mainly for the customer service.

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you're happy with the quality of the product and the excellent customer service you received from Steven! We look forward to hearing your thoughts down the line! Thank you for choosing Minus33.

Love it

I bought the wilderness expedition specifically for fat biking in the winter. I have worn this along with a softshell for weather between 20-35 degrees and have been very comfortable. When it the temps drop below 20 degrees, I toss on a thin fleece. The material wicks away sweat and keeps me warm. Love how the neck zips up snug!

MgVT,

Happy to hear you love our Wilderness Expedition Men's Wool 1/4 Zip. It is one of my favorites.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

Should be in everyone's backpack

If your not wearing it, you should have it with you.

Warmer than most heavy sweatshirts with half the weight. No stink and as versitle as a Swiss-Army knife. I loom forward to the hooded version

Read this...Stellar Expedition Merino

This is by far the best Merino Wool Pull-over I have ever owned. I have had 3 prior from other companies, buy none that match this quality. I love the Expedition weight, and handy chest-pocket, plus hidden hand warmer feature. You gotta own one of these if you spend anytime outdoors. I plan on using mine for Backpacking and maybe en my cold night Runs. Thx again Minus33 for such a great product...I'll be back for more items for sure!

A go to piece for me in the winter! Thank you for your review.

It's a must have in my gear inventory..

On my 3rd one of these. I wear them for all kinds of fall/ winter/ spring activities from hunting to cross country skiing. Once this one wears out, I guarantee I'll be buying a fourth. Best design so far on the arm cuffs and thumb holes.

Such a great top! Thank you for your review.
