Using warmth as a primary factor for purchase would be a mistake. These are quite light and airy. Also tends to ride up the legs, as ankle elastic is weak. Would be too fragile outdoors but for limited uses (pajama bottoms). Comfortable though.
Warm, comfortable, and being wool doesn’t hold oder.
Great product, used these sailing under walking trousers and waterproof layer, went fully into the water and was as warm as those in wetsuits. retains heat well when wet and comfortable and well made, a pleasure to use. One of my best purchases of 2020
These base layer tights are great. Good fit and comfortable as well as being lightweight and warm. Would definitely buy again. Great price too !
Much better quality than similar weight base layers from other brands and, these are at a great price
These are excellent - better quality and warmer than some much more expensive ones that I've purchased elsewhere. I'm really pleased with them.

Indoors (with jeans on top) it's a bit warm, but I don't feel like I need to take it off, it's really well breathing. Outdoors, with my normal jeans on top of them, UK/Ireland autumn is comfortable if not warm. Probably will wear it in the winter, too. It's not outright warm as you go outside, but it helps with getting to a comfortable temperature faster. Size M fits me well, maybe a bit on the longer side, but as you move about this turns out to be just right, so the sizing guide is correct: 21, male, 181 tall, 72 kg, skinnyfat, 80 cm hips, 73 cm inseam.

Not good for temp below -5/-10

Size Guide
Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 86.0% Wool, 4.0% Elastane, 10.0% Polyamide ; Yoke: 98.0% Wool, 2.0% Polyamide
Sizing and fit
These tights have a close fit to help the transfer of moisture to the outside of the fabric.4% spandex added for comfort and freedom of movement.
How have we reinforced the durability of these merino wool tights?
Use of a BETA-SPUN yarn structure in which the polyamide threads coat the Merino wool fibers and protect them from rubbing and cuts without affecting their properties.
Odor control
Wool from Merino sheep naturally controls the spread of bacteria that cause bad odors. These Merino wool tights can therefore be wornseveral days in a row and means you can take less clothes when backpacking making for a lighter backpack!
Tip before use
For a softer feel, wash your tights before 1st use.
How do i wash my merino wool tights?
We recommend that you machine wash your Merino wool tights at 86°F on a normal cycle, preferably with liquid detergent. Dry flat and NEVER tumble dry unless you want it to shrink by 1 or 2 sizes!
Product testing
In November 2018, 8 backpackers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team, tested these tights for 4 days in the southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). On the agenda, wind, rain, a bit of snow, a bivouac... and a lot of fun! We were then able to make the final modifications and validate it for use for backpacking.
