5’10 200lb - great kit!
I had great hopes these would live up to all the hype, but fabric quality is extremely poor. They never stop shedding lint, and that's because they are made out of extremely short fiber wool. I noticed that they are made in China, so the contractor may have scammed the Minus 33 company with low grade fabric.
Extremely warm. Exactly what I needed for cold weather ice fishing to keep my core warm
400 GPM HEAVYDUTY base layer. Difficult to find. If you get lower GPM YOU WASTED YOUR MONEY!
The shirt and bottoms are fantastic. Warm , soft, comfortable. I highly recommend, if you need to stay warm. Also great company to deal with.
Luv em, highly recommend, comfortable and soft, worth the money
Great
Heavy and warm. Thicker than any wool bottoms I have had
Great product very warm and excellent customer service!
Excellent quality, super warm!
Best Marino wool underwear I’ve ever bought
Fit is spot on. Not burning up when inside, but warm and cozy when outside.
I bought them for my husband for Christmas. He wears them when he works outside for his free business and said they are very warm! Definitely worth the money.
These are truly heavyweight! Well made, warm and soft and a good value.
The fit is excelent, shipping was fast. Will be a great base layer.
Great product
Very warm on cold days. Soft and comfortable, no itching. Size is right on
The best long John’s we have ever bought
Well made and very warm.
Works great.
6'1" 175 mediums fit well. Warm and comfortable
Very warm and comfortable wool bottoms, they’re so comfortable you’ll forget your wearing them !
Super comfortable and extremely warm.
This merino wool bottom is heavier and warmer than other than other advertised bottoms.
Second pair. This time I got the talls. I'm 6'2 and they're a little too long. Next ones will be regular length.
These are the best! I work as a Sauna Guide in Duluth, MN, and frequently work outside in well below zero. One day it was -45 (with windchill), and I stay generally warm for several hours outside with minimal breaks and only light activity, wearing on bottom only these leggings and some cheap fleece-lined cargo pants. I couldn't believe how effective the Expedition weight is! Also love these for hunting and hiking, as well as daily wear. They don't get too warm when I where them for a day of office work either.
I have the top and now using the bottoms ,Cannot beat merino wool for warmth and comfort
Love minus 33 products
