            Product Story

            Wilderness Expedition

            Our new Wilderness Expedition collection is designed to be lighter weight than our classic Expedition line, twice as durable, and just as warm. These hearty mid-layers are built to last with a double layer Ponte knit that is sure to beef up your next adventure. From early morning bushwhacks to your favorite tree stand, to long wet days in the alpine zone, and every climb, creek crossing, and dog walk in between, we’ve got you covered.

            Ponte de Roma is the name of a double knitting technique that consists of two layers of fabric knitted together. Ponte fabric is tightly knitted, making it very durable. It's stretchy, soft, doesn't wrinkle, and has a naturally flattering drape, which lets these mid-layers crossover perfectly from the outdoors to the office, and everything in between.

            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. 

            TOTAL EASY CARE

            MACHINE WASH AND DRY

            Total Easy Care (TEC) Merino apparel is designed for today's busy lifestyle. Total Easy Care Merino garments are all machine-washable, and are suitable for tumble drying.

            Even after frequent laundering they retain an 'as new' appearance. They won't shrink, lose their shape, fade or color-bleed. They remain soft and comfortable for the life of the garment.

            superb vest

            Having other minus33 products, i knew to expect the highest quality.
            1. the weight, although not hefty, was what i expected and is entirely suitable for layering over it.
            2. the fit (i'm xs) was perfect in all measures, including an ample length
            3. the reality of having 4 pockets (2 inner) is excellent. i can carry all essentials in the vest replacing the need for a purse/bag

            Sara,
            Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We are so glad that the Wilderness Expedition Women's Wool Vest - Expedition is doing the trick for you!

            Women's Expedition wool black vest

            I give the vest four stars only because it is warm in the tropics. When it gets colder I will reevaluate at that time; It is Well constructed and very soft; thank you.

            Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

            Awesome

            I own a lot of vests and this is my favorite. The fit is a cut above all my other vests (I'm 5'5" and pretty average weight with an hourglass shape and it is just very flattering--not boxy but shaped well and just right in sizing). The wool is thick and soft (Minus 33 wool is so much softer than Smartwool or Icebreaker). And it washes well. My only complaint is that I wish they offered a light grey and an ivory (and maybe some fun colors -- tropical pink, lavender, dusky purple, teal, or peach if the dye is eco friendly). I have the black, and while that's something I get a lot of use out of, it might be nice to mix it up once in a while.

            Great to hear our Wilderness Expedition Women’s Wool Vest fits you well, and is so…soft. We will pass your color suggestions along to our product development team.

            Thank you for leaving a review!

            Does not pill!

            Sleek lines and perfect fit, this vest dresses up for work or down for being outdoors. I've been wearing this vest for months and it isn't pilling at all. It's been through gentle hand washing and comes out softer each time. It keeps my back and neck warm whether I'm working at the computer or out on a hike. Really great quality vest!

            Cheryl,

            We are pleased to hear that you are enjoying your Minus33 Wilderness Expedition Vest. Thank you for this fantastic review.

            It's nice. I like it very much. The only thing i would change is I wish it was thicker.

            Thank you for your review.
