FAQs

What is the main benefit of merino wool for base layers?

Merino wool's key benefits include natural temperature regulation (keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat), excellent breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and natural odor resistance, making it ideal for active wear.

Can I wear these long johns for everyday casual wear?

Yes, absolutely. Their comfort, breathability, and natural properties make them suitable for everyday wear, especially in cooler temperatures or for lounging.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The long johns are designed to fit close to the body. Refer to the sizing guide for accurate measurements. The elastic waistband helps secure the fit, but a proper initial fit is crucial for comfort and performance.

Are these long johns suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, they are excellent as a base layer for cold weather. For extreme cold, they can be layered with additional insulating garments.

Why don't these long johns have a fly?

The design choice to omit a fly is a specific feature of this particular model, catering to users who prefer a seamless front or do not require this feature in their base layers. It contributes to a smoother fit and reduced potential for irritation.

How often should I wash my merino wool long johns?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, so you may not need to wash them after every use. Washing only when necessary helps preserve the fibers and their natural properties. Airing them out between wears can often suffice.

Troubleshooting

Long Johns feel itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. While merino wool is generally soft, any residual detergent can cause irritation. Reshape and lay flat to dry, as improper drying can affect the texture.

Product shrunk after washing

Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or excessive agitation. Always use a cold or warm (max 30-40°C) wool program on your washing machine and avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to dry naturally.

Elastic waistband feels loose

Ensure the garment is not being over-dried or exposed to excessive heat, which can degrade elastic. For minor looseness, consider hand washing and laying flat to dry carefully to help retain elasticity.
