          Couple Wearing Minus33 Midweight Merino Wool Base Layer Outfits

          Midweight
          Merino Wool

          Versatile and comfortable, our Merino Wool will always have your back. Designed as a three-season garment, our Midweight works great as either a base or mid layer.

          Midweight Details

          Our Midweight styles have all the same natural qualities as our Lightweight Merino Wool, with greater insulation. Minus33 Merino Wool Clothing is perfect as a base layer for a day on the slopes or as an emergency pullover when a cold front rolls in just before you summit.

          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.

          Seems nice

          Disappointed it’s made in CHINA 🇨🇳

          Randall,

          Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Here is some brief history of our company that may provide some insight into why we source some of our products abroad. The parent company of Minus33 is L.W. Packard, a textile company created by our current president's great-great-grand-uncle in 1916. We were able to successfully run this textile mill for 86 years until, in 2002, the politics of globalization caused our president's father to finally go out of business as one of the last textile mills in America. He had to fire 300 employees, most of them friends and family that he grew up with. After that, he started a 100% merino wool base layer company which is now the Minus33 you know today.
          Recently, we have purchased several sock knitting machines and set them up in Ashland NH on the historic grounds of the L.W. Packard Mill. We learned how to operate these machines and designed the Mountain Heritage Collection of USA-made socks by Minus33. This sock line consists of four different weights of socks, in seven heights, four sizes, and five colors. We are currently looking to purchase more sock machines to make more weights of socks in the near term. Additionally, we are looking at purchasing machines that can produce hats and gloves in our mill in the next several years.
          Rebuilding USA manufacturing is a very difficult process due to the trade laws put in place several decades ago, and we expect it to take time, but we assure you that we are working on it. We ask that if you feel strongly about bringing back production to the USA please contact your local reps and let them know that you're interested in seeing less globalization and more American-made products.
          Thank you for purchasing from Minus33!
          Stay safe,

          Minus33

          Most comfortable base layer ever

          I hike a lot. Usually once a week. Then there's backpacking, camping, snowshoeing, you get the idea. A friend turned me on to Minus 33 and one of my first purchases was this midweight wool crew.
          I know it's just a base layer, but honestly I was so comfortable and dry in it, that it really is the best, most comfortable base layer I've ever used.
          Can't wait to get more from Minus33!

          Steve, thank you for leaving such a great review. We do get it, all of these activities require reliable gear, and for that we've got your back! We hope you'll try some of our lightweight gear for summer, we're just as good at keeping you cool and dry! -Felicia W.

          Not my favorite Minus33

          I give these shirts 3 stars, the wool is great as usual but the the way it is designed you can feel the seams on your body which isn't horrible but it is not as comfortable as it could be.

          Dan.

          Excellent weight & feel

          Well done Minus33...perfect heavier mid-layer with longer sleeves than competition. Usually find thumb holes restrictive, but this is the best...the BOMB!!!
