WOOL BOTTOMS

Whether you're skiing, hiking, paddling, backpacking, or traveling, wool baselayers are some of the best-performing and most comfortable garments on the planet.

If you're in the outdoors, why not play by nature's rules? When you choose wool, you're wearing what nature designed. Today's merino wool will suprise you with its softness, light weight, and durability. Wool is also naturally sustainable because the sheep grow it every year. Wool retains most of its insulating power even when completely wet, so unlike cotton it will not feel cold or clammy against your skin during athletic pursuits.

People are often surprised to find that wool also keeps you cool and has a very comfortable temperature curve. Unlike synthetics, you will not notice any temperature spikes before the garment starts to cool you off. Patagonia and SmartWool make some of the best wool shirts, baselayers, and socks you'll ever wear.
