If the think of wearing traditional wool against your bare legs makes your skin crawl, update your Closet and your understanding of baselayer technology with this Ibex Woolies Bottom. If you ski, snowshoe or skate, most silky baselayers don't offer enough heat retention while other midweight microfleece can feel stifling. The Ibex Woolies Bottom is a natural alternative to technical synthetic fabrics and it doesn't rub you the wrong way when you wear it against your skin. This Woolies Bottom features Ibex's proven 18.5 micron Merino wool fabric, a great lightweight rib material that's machine washable and incredibly soft. Unlike fabrics that are chemically treated to facilitate moisture transfer, Merino wool is naturally moisture wicking, so you never lose the performance no matter how many times you launder. The cut is contoured to hug your legs without pushing other winter layering possibilities out of the way. Find out what hikers, climbers and anglers have known for several years--this Ibex Woolies Bottom features a soft texture that's anything but baa-a-a-a-d.
