Really good product, its thinness is great, there is no discomfort or stinging feeling in the pants, it keeps you warm, I have bought a long-sleeved merino underwear before, it is very successful, you never smell of sweat.

Normal 50 lei tights are warmer.

The price is too high, and they are not that warm.

Merino leggings

Very warm. I recommend them as a first layer both for winter for walking and for sports. Although it hasn't been so cold yet to really use them because they are super warm.

wool long underwear pants

So far, I managed to try it on a 2-day backpacking tour (42 km), and during 56 hours of continuous wearing, I didn't notice any odor. It wicks away sweat well. I didn't feel sweaty in it, even though I'm very sweaty. Good thermal insulation, but not warm. I didn't feel cold in it at +2/+4 5 °C, it's pleasant to wear, I didn't find it stinging at all, even though it's wool. I can't comment on wear resistance during this time.

Quick drying

Good merino product. Only downside, the elastic seems of fairly average quality. To be checked over time.

Autant ne rien porter

Epais comme du papier a cigarette, très très très léger donc ne tient pas chaud, je suis vraiment déçu. Au moins il sèche vite mais ca passe pas en machine a laver. Ca taille correctement que ce soit en longueur ou en largeur, que ce soit au niveau des cuisses ou des mollets. La partie en "mailles" a l'arrière du genou est agréable et ne donne pas de sensation de "cisaillement". L'elastique de la taille est assez "extensible" et ne fais pas de douleur a moyen-terme. Y'a une etiquette avec la marque sur la cuisse, sans interêt aucun mais rien que l'etiquette est plus épaisse que le tissu du legging... Bref a 40 euros c'est pas vraiment un bon produit.

Product testing

In November 2018, 8 trekkers (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). You can expect 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 mountain trekking use.
