The Cedars RWS Merino Lt-Wt Mid-Rise 3/4 Bottom sits at a rise built to feel like nothing and a length that splits the difference between a full baselayer and a short, ready for anything from a resort day to a winter hike. Merino wool does the rest: regulating temperature, wicking moisture, and shrugging off odor wash after wash. Nylon fibers add the structure to keep the fit honest over a full season. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The waistband sits flat instead of digging in when I'm buckled into a harness all day. No front seam means nothing presses back against my pants."
