"The cropped cut is here to stay. Shorter baselayer pants are way more comfortable with my boot socks." -Gearhead(R) Expert SammyOur shred-ready Backcountry Cedars RWS Merino Midweight 3/4 Baselayer Bottom is the perfect partner for our knee-high socks and snow-sport boots. The shorter silhouette limits the amount of friction and pressure we feel while layering without limiting our warmth and comfort on-mountain. Crafted with Responsible Wool Standard-certified merino wool, these techy tights resist odor buildup, wick moisture, and regulate body temperature throughout our ski sessions.
