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.

These hearty mid-layers are built to last with a double layer Ponte knit that is sure to beef up your next adventure.

Wilderness Details

Ponte de Roma is the name of a double knitting technique that consists of two layers of fabric knitted together. Ponte fabric is tightly knitted, making it very durable. It's stretchy, soft, doesn't wrinkle, and has a naturally flattering drape, which lets these mid-layers crossover perfectly from the outdoors to the office, and everything in between.

Learn About Layering

Why 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+.

I have had this jacket since December 4, 2023

I have had this jacket since December 4, 2023. I have washed it multiple times and worn it almost nonstop at least eight months out of the year. It looks amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this jacket. It regulates temperature whether it’s 20° or 60°. It’s like a warm hug and no matter the weather. I wear on its own and it looks great or I wear it as a layer and it doesn’t bulk up too much. I’ve lost 35 pounds and I’m looking to get another one and another size.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you have been enjoying your Women's Wool Full Zip Wilderness jacket for almost a year now. It's great to know that it has held up well after multiple washes and has been a reliable source of warmth in various temperatures. Congratulations on losing 35 pounds, and we hope you find the perfect fit in your next purchase. Happy adventuring!

Love this!

I have searched forever for a full zip jacket that is warm but not bulky, without a hood, and finally found this - it is perfect! The fabric is very high quality, and the features are excellent: deep pockets, good zipper, and nice details at the cuff/thumbhole. Very well made. The Small fits perfectly (5'8", 115 lb). Bonus is the beautiful color. Thank you Minus33!

We're so glad to hear that you love our Expedition jacket! We put a lot of effort into creating a warm and comfortable jacket without the bulk, and we're happy that it meets your needs. We're also happy to hear that you appreciate the details like the deep pockets and thumbholes. Thank you for choosing Minus33!

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.

We are so glad to hear that you are enjoying the garment and that it exceeded your expectations. Our team works hard to ensure that our products are of the highest quality and we are happy to hear that it shows.
