Fit FAQs

What if I am between sizes?

If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up or down based on what fit type you would prefer, and based on how you plan to wear the piece. Our knitted merino is stretchy and you could realistically go with either size. If you would prefer an Athletic fit, size down. If you prefer a Regular or Relaxed fit, size up.

Do I need to size up/down to layer?

Generally, no, you do not need to purchase a different size than normal. Our base layers are designed to fit right into your current layering system. They are also designed to work with other products in our line, too. You may wish to adjust your sizing if you plan to wear one of our garments in a way that it is not intended, if that's the case please feel free to contact our customer service team for help.

Does your clothing run true to size?

Yes, our clothing runs true to size and is sized similar to most other American brands. If a sizing discrepancy is discovered, you will see fit advice in that product's specific listing.

Why Merino Wool?

Moisture Wicking

Minus33 Merino Wool regulates the amount of moisture on your skin by absorbing any moisture or sweat on your body. Then, the absorbed moisture evaporates out of the fabric into the atmosphere.

Anti-Microbial

Merino Wool fibers naturally reject any bacteria in moisture or sweat as it is wicked away, so foot fungus and smelly odor will not be a problem while wearing our products.

Insulates When Wet

Wool will absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. If you do get wet, wool will insulate you better than cotton or polyester materials.

Fire Resistant

Merino Wool insulates against high temperatures and does not readily catch fire. If it does, it self-extinguishes. When Merino burns, it doesn’t melt and stick to the skin like synthetic fabrics do.

UV Protection

Don’t worry about sunburn on a sunny day summiting a peak. Lightweight layers have a UPF rating of 25. Midweight and Expedition have a UPF rating of 50+.

Renewable

Merino Wool has a low environmental footprint and naturally returns to the elements. Shear a merino sheep in the morning, and in the afternoon they’re happily nibbling their way towards renewing next season’s clip.

Fabulous but sit way too low

Love everything Minus33 so I thought I would try the leggings. They're amazing but for my hourglass body shape they sit way too low on the waist. The length is fine for the legs though. I will keep them because I'm lazy and don't like to return things and I'm hoping maybe if I keep pulling them up they'll eventually mold to my bod.

Thank you for giving us this feedback! I'll make sure our design team get it! If you do decide to make a return just reach out to us, we'll be happy to help!

Don’t mistake the sporty Juneau style for the more generously styled Kenai

I love Minus 33 merino leggings in particular because they’re so comfortable, well made and long lasting. Even the extra customs cost doesn’t deter me from buying.
Just one warning to women buyers. I recently mistakenly ordered some Juneau style exhibition weight leggings (instead of my usual Kenai) and was surprised to find I could barely get in them and certainly couldn’t wear them. The Juneau are shorter and narrower in the leg and shorter at the waist. I’ve returned them for an exchange.
I’m otherwise always satisfied with Minus 33 customer service and tge amazing products.

Heavy Leggings

Beautiful, heavy wool leggings; you feel their warmth immediately. Unfortunately, too itchy for me; they would have been great for cold days in Maine, If you’re not sensitive to wool, they would be great as a base layer for outdoor winter activities. Needed to return.

Thank you for your review.

For some reason I keep running into a similar situation with high rise wool leggings where the front is higher than the back and cuts into my stomach in an unflattering place. I also wish there was a short option for those of us under 5'4". Typically wear a size 8/M but often size up in compression type of leggings so they aren't crushing my internal organs. Sized up to a L in these and wish I had gone with a M but I do fear the elastic band at the top might be uncomfortably tight in a M. So close to hitting the mark but could use a few tweaks.

Good morning Lesley,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are a small company so feedback from our consumers is super important to us. Over the last couple of years we have been adding extended sizing to our offerings. So far we have added some petite and long lengths to our midweight bottoms. The plan is to expand offerings over time.
But, in the meantime do we need to get you set up for an exchange. Please give us a call at 1855-646-8733 so we can get you into something that is comfortable for you!
-Minus33.

I am long waisted with an extra lumbar vertebrae and these stay up to my waist and don’t ride down. I am comfortable in them the whole time I’m wearing them. I have since ordered more pairs. It would be handy if they had thigh side pockets for my phone. Other than that, these are perfect! I am so grateful as I am cold natured and often wear multiple layers of merino wool. I will be ordering more.
