The first impression
Both the top and the trousers are soft and fluffy and feel pleasant against the skin. Both have a dark stripe pattern that is nevertheless striking. The shoulder and armpit areas of the top and the hip area of the trousers are excluded and feature gray details. The waistband is made of elastic material so that the pants neither slip nor stretch out.
Tester and test conditions
I am 187 cm tall, weigh 87 kilograms and wear both garments in size L. As is usual for ski underwear, the garments fit close to the body, but don't constrict or restrict me in any other way. The pants have enough room to move, especially in the thigh and crotch area, which I personally find very comfortable. I primarily use the underwear for skiing, even on particularly cold days. They have also been used for ski tours, tobogganing evenings and other outdoor activities. I have also washed them a few times. Compared to non-merino underwear, however, I have been able to save myself a few washes, but more on that in a moment.
