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.

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.

Awesome Merino Wool Full Zip

I was hesitant about ordering this online. But the previous reviews were so positive, that I had to purchase it. As soon as I tried it on, I was smiling from ear to ear. The photos do not do this garment justice!
The fabric is so smooth, so elegant, figure flattering, and more than I expected. I am 5’6” at 162lbs. I got the XL and it fits great. You won’t be disappointed.

After Much Searching, I Found the Perfect Wool Jacket

I have had a boiled wool sweater jacket for 10 years that I have worn out. It was nice enough for every day use, great breathability and warmth for hiking, camping, skiing, and adventuring, and ability to be used as an underlayer for really cold times. It finally gave up the ghost and I despaired of finding another. I've been shopping for several years in brick and mortar stores and online. FINALLY I found the Expedition full zip jacket and it is even better than my tired old original. It has a flattering design, beautiful rich color and is 100% wool which is my absolute go to for active wear and sustainability. I'm so happy I found Minus 33 and wish that stores in cold climates would carry the brand. If people knew how far wool has come and how versatile and planet friendly it is, it would be great! Thanks.

Kathleen,

We are thrilled to hear that our Expedition wool jacket has met all of your needs and exceeded your expectations. We take great pride in our products and strive to provide high-quality, sustainable options for our customers. Thank you for choosing Minus 33 and spreading the word about the benefits of wool. We will definitely take your suggestion into consideration and work towards getting our brand into more stores in colder climates.

Best,
