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?

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.
