What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I wear these under everything when I'm touring or riding pow. The merino is super soft, doesn't itch, and keeps me dry even when I'm sweating on the climb. Merino's no-stink is a huge win for hut trips and long days."The first layer is where comfort begins, and the Ortovox 185 Rock'N'Wool Boxer is our go-to for full days in the backcountry or resort. Made with fine merino wool, these boxer-length base layer bottoms deliver exceptional softness and natural climate control. The 19-micron wool fibers offer next-to-skin comfort without the itch, and they regulate moisture and temperature to keep us dry and comfortable no matter how hard we push.
