Normal 50 lei tights are warmer.

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

Might as well not wear anything

Thick as cigarette paper, very very very light so does not keep you warm, I am really disappointed. At least it dries quickly but it is not machine washable. It fits correctly whether in length or width, whether at the thighs or calves. The "mesh" part at the back of the knee is pleasant and does not give a "shearing" sensation. The elastic at the waist is quite "stretchy" and does not cause pain in the medium term. There is a label with the brand on the thigh, of no interest at all but the label alone is thicker than the fabric of the leggings... In short, at 40 euros it is not really a good product.

Great quality thermal underwear. Perfectly regulates body temperature, does not bite, you do not feel discomfort in it. A product worth its price. I recommend

unheated

I decided on it based on the reviews. I needed a pair of not-too-thick yet warm underwear pants that fit the body. it met all the criteria, except for the warmth - as it turned out during use... whoever took it for outdoor work, I don't know what they were thinking, but for me it lets the cold through at 5 degrees disturbingly when worn under a pair of windproof and water-repellent cross-country ski pants. in minus 3 degrees, it is particularly uncomfortable even during continuous and intensive walking... I will not return it, because it will be fine in a closed space under jeans, but being outside in the cold outside in it is suicide....

How to wash my trek 500 merino tights

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.
