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.

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.

Fitting

I'm 5'3, 115 pounds. I wear a small bottom & medium top in the base layers. I like my tops to be fitted but not tight to my body....just perfectly classic. I ordered a medium in this hoodie and it was huge...much like a large. I paid shipping to exchange it for a small. I received the small & it fits nicely through the shoulders & the sleeve length is good but still, the torso is too large. If you're looking for a cute, classic fit...this isn't it. I can't get an XS because the sleeves will be too short. Plus, I would have to pay return shipping again. The sizing of this hoodie should definitely be reconsidered so that a medium in base layer is similar to a medium in all products. Quality clothing is expensive enough without additional shipping back & forth. Also, please consider creating a more classic fit hoodie. Fit ladies like this. A small frame looks good in small clothes. On a positive note, this jacket is incredibly warm, very good quality and the inner material feels good even without a base layer.
Return was easy & shipping times reasonable.

Nice item

Nice, heavy wool, and well made

The wool is heavy, dense, and very warm. It seems well made.

I had to return a women's medium for a large. I suggest ordering one size up if you're in the middle or high-end of a size, especially if you're tall. Ordering the 'correct' size results in a snug fit like the model photos, or even tighter, but that might not be what most people want in a hoodie.

The sleeves are short if you want to use the thumb holes, which was my main reason for going to a large. Adding an inch in the sleeves would be an improvement.

But after up-sizing, it's a very nice garment. Have not tried it in cold, but in warm weather one starts to overheat fairly quickly. Look forward to snow again.

Moolly Wammoth,

Thank you for your feedback! I really like the Kodiak Fleece Women's Brushed Wool Hoodie - Expedition! The wool is heavy and dense, and it's well made. I had to upsize to a large, and the sleeves are short if you want to use the thumb holes, but after up-sizing it's a very nice garment. I look forward to snow again!
