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.

Good for ‘round the house, outdoors, and travel

I bought the lightweight base layer (bottom and top) in black. They are great and don’t constrain movement. I wear them in the house and out in the cold. I think my favorite characteristic is that they genuinely don’t smell after wearing and I wear them several times before washing, so especially good for travel.

The lightweight men's bottom layer are perfect for cycling

The lightweight men's bottom base layer are perfect for cycling in cooler weather. The wind doesn't go through them. So far these are the best base layers, the shirt and the bottoms, that I have worn so far.

Best bang for your merino buck

Been using Minus33 for years now. I’ve had many brands, these are the best all around. Be even better if they were made in USA. You should work on that Minus33.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review and for being such a loyal Minus33 customer! We’re honored to be your go-to! We’re glad you mentioned U.S. manufacturing. While some of our products are made internationally, we’re proud to say that we have a large sock line made right here in New Hampshire. We’ll continue to grow with this in mind, and your support means the world to us.

Good quality but made in China and the sizes are not consistent.

These long bottoms are good quality but they're made in China. Also the sizes are inconsistent, I like to buy the size L boxer briefs because I like the loose comfort so I also buy these in size L but they're too tight. These in size XL is equivalent to the size L boxer briefs.

Rickard,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear that you appreciate the good quality of our Lightweight Saratoga Men's 100% Merino Wool Bottoms.

Soft and comfortable. Hopefully they will last longer than the other brand I had previously. Great to wear when there’s just a little nip in the air.

Best of the best

I absolutely love every minus33 Merino wool product I've ever purchased. So very soft and warm and last for years! A little expensive, but worth it to me because I work outside regardless of weather. Also of a much higher quality AND LESS EXPENSIVE than a certain other popular US brand.

Johnny,

Happy to hear that you love our products.

Thank you for the great review!

Saratoga Bottoms

Glad I invested in these. I will be getting a midweight set to go with them in the near future. Fit snug, but not too tight. Only complaint is length is just a little short for me, could be a tiny bit longer.

I bought these to give to my son for Christmas so I can’t say how he will like them but……I have loved every other item I have ordered, and I have order quite a bit. The material is soft and very comfortable.

Daisey,
Thank you for being such a great customer. We are happy that you and your son like the products you already have. Be sure to let us know when he has the chance to wear the 100% Merino Wool Saratoga Men's Bottom - Lightweight.

Minus 33 Merino Wool has become my 2nd skin.

Since I started to wear Minus33 Saratoga tops and bottoms they have become my 2nd skin. I has always cold when I wore cotton thermo, I realize now that I was wet with sweat = cold. I now layer wool and am amazed at how warm I stay, with lighter and less bulky clothes.

Kerry & Joy,

We are glad to hear that you are now staying Warm and dry while wearing Your Minus33 tops and bottoms. Thank you for the wonderful review!

My favorite base layer by far......I've tried them all and minus33 is the most comfortable, technical, base layer on the market.

Very Comfortable

After trying other brands (no idea why) I continue to come back to minus 33. Made this purchase for sleeping on overnight hikes, but found myself wearing daily in the New England winters. Very soft and comfortable. Follow the care instructions and Minus 33 will last a very long time.

Bob,

For as thin as they are, which is nice they aren’t bulky, they are warm. They worked good under shorts for a snow 5k turkey trot

Awesome wool bottoms

Fit is great. Perfect as a light base layer for Nordic skiing and cold morning runs.

Pretty great, all around

Good overall baselayer for the mountains. Have probably 3 pairs I rotate through for skiing, climbing, sledding. The tall size is what makes it for me, but everything else is pretty great.

Warm and cozy base layer!

I purchased these for my husband as he likes to walk outdoors, even when it’s very cold with temps in the ‘teens’. His legs would get really cold just wearing a pair of heavy denim jeans. With these merino wool bottoms, he stays toasty warm outside! He says they’re comfortable and they don’t itch.

Good trou

I wear them with my lined Woolrich Malone overall bib (no one sells a lined wool bib anymore, btw) and I am never cold. The cuffs work well to keep the legs all the way down. Excellent purchase, nice to do business just down the road.

Thanks for sharing your experience with our product so far!
