A stop-and-go pace, like that of alpine climbing or backcountry riding, can leave you with the shivers. These lightweight bottoms will help you stay dry and warm. Our most versatile merino layer for an active lifestyle in warm to cool weather, Merino 2 is made with 73% chlorine-free merino wool spun around an all-recycled polyester (27%) core for a luxurious hand, an improved dry time and enduring strength. Inherently soft and comfortable, merino wool naturally resists odor, moves moisture away from the skin, regulates body temperature, and stretches. Details include a brushed-elastic waistband, offset inseams and a functional fly. We slow wash our merino for next-to-skin softness. Machine-wash cold; lay flat to dry. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.

Material

Chlorine-free Wool Raw, untreated wool has scales that make it itchy and coarse and cause it to shrink, so most wool fabrics are treated with chlorine to reduce the scales. Our 100% merino wool is so fine it can be slow-washed without chlorine for softness and minimal shrinkage.

Technology

Recycled Polyester We recycle used soda bottles, unusable second quality fabrics and worn out garments into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
