"The crossover V-waistband is beyond stylish. It creates a sporty, ergonomic silhouette that looks as good at apres as it feels on the mountain." -Gearhead(R) Expert SammyOur elevated Backcountry Cedars RWS Merino Lightweight V-Waist Baselayer Bottom takes classic baselayer tights and gives them a sweet and sporty twist. With an overlapping waistband for added security and flair, these baselayer bottoms are excellent for high-output ski days and the party afterward. As much as we love the fashionable fit, our favorite feature has to be the Responsible Wool Standard-certified merino wool; not only does this technical fabric manage moisture, regulate body temperature, and resist odor buildup, but it's sourced from shepherds who put their animals' welfare first.
