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.

SO COZY

This is my third lightweight pair. Winter is so much more enjoyable with them. I also have the long sleeved tops. I wear them all the time in the winter even when not going out. They are not too hot or thick and just keep me cozy and comfortable.

Just right

The Lightweight Magalliway bottom’s are a nice weight, warm while remaining non-bulky, fit just right, are silky soft and have a comfortable waistband. Worked great under a drysuit kayaking off Iceland. Don’t change a thing.

Alice,

Thank you for your positive feedback on our Lightweight Magalloway bottoms! We are glad to hear that they were a perfect fit for your kayaking trip in Iceland and that the material kept you warm without adding bulk. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy our products.

Leggings are lightweight and comfortable

I enjoy the leggings for under my knee brace. They are light for summer hiking at higher altitudes and comfortable under the brace. Also, Minus 33 was very helpful when my original order wasn't available. The communication was excellent.

Alyssa,

We are pleased to hear that your Minus33 Magalloway Bottoms are working out for you. Being comfortable while hiking is super important. Thank you for the great review!

real merino wool leggings

These are called medium weight. I'm surprised at how much fabric is really there. They feel protective and durable. Thanks!

Christine,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a great review! The weight and knit of these bottoms are what give them the extra durability even though they are on the lighter side of our spectrum. At the weight of 170 g/m2, along with the Lightweight Jersey Knit, these bottoms are great if your looking for something light but also durable and protective.

My favorite wool

I absolutely LOVE the Minus33 wool. The shirts are great - good temperature regulation, good fit and not scratchy like other wool brands. I loved it so much, I bought multiple shirts and a pair of tights.

Kept its shape and kept me warm

True to size, these bottoms kept my legs warm under my poncho despite the 50F weather and heavy drizzle of rain for a 4-5 hour hike. My legs were soaked from mid-thigh down by the end, but the fabric was still comfortable and didn't feel clammy. Great product, very comfortable, kept its shape with no bagging or sagging.

Amy,

Thank for the Great review! We are happy to hear that our bottoms kept your legs toasty and warm even after the drizzling rain. Happy hiking!

Minus33 Merino Wool Clothing

Hi Brianna,

Thank you for contacting Minus33. At this time, our Lightweight Magalloway women's bottoms are currently manufactured in China.

With that said, here is some brief history of our company that may provide some insight into why we source some of our products abroad. The parent company of Minus33 is L.W. Packard, a textile company created by our current president's great-great-grand-uncle in 1916. We were able to successfully run this textile mill for 86 years until, in 2002, the politics of globalization caused our president's father to finally go out of business as one of the last textile mills in America. He had to let go 300 employees, most of them friends and family that he grew up with. After that, he started a 100% merino wool base layer company which is now the Minus33 you know today.

Recently, we have purchased several sock knitting machines and set them up in Ashland NH on the historic grounds of the L.W. Packard Mill. We learned how to operate these machines and designed the Mountain Heritage Collection of USA-made socks by Minus33. This sock line consists of three different weights of socks, in seven heights, four sizes, and five colors. Recently we also purchased new sock machine to help expand the sock variety in two additional categories. These new socks will be coming in the near term. Additionally, we are looking at purchasing machines that can produce hats and gloves in our mill in the coming years.

Rebuilding USA manufacturing is a very difficult process due to the trade laws put in place several decades ago, and we expect it to take time, but we assure you that we are working on it.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
