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.

LEARN ABOUT LAYERING

Why Merino Wool?

two people sitting next to a river wearing 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.

My partner hasn’t taken this off

I bought this hoodie as a birthday present for my wife. I haven’t seen her naked since. So, it was a win as a gift, but a loss on overall quality of my sex life.

She’s owned other merino hoodies in the past, and this has never happened before.

Buyer beware!

Arms too tight.

I ordered up a size to a medium and it was still too tight. The proportions seen off for athletic builds. Ordered a men’s medium, hope it’s here soon in Nov.

Thanks for the 5 star review!

The Hoodie I've Searched the World For

I had looked high and low for a hoodie that had enough warmth for my easily-to-get-cold body. And at long last I had found it. I've had it now for at least two years. It's so comfortable, and I like that it has an inside pocket. I only wish that the sleeves were a tad bit longer as I have pretty long arms. Oh! and I hope someday this might come in white!

I've put it through the wash loads of times, and it's holding up well. I let it air-dry.

Genevieve,

We are glad to hear you are staying warm and toasty in our Brushed Expedition Weight Hoodie. We will pass your color idea on to our Product Development Team. Thanks for the great review.

Great hoodie, frustrating fit

This is a gorgeous garment. It's soft, warm, and has a great weight and feel. But the fit has been so frustrating! I am 5' 7"/145 lb and I measure exactly for a medium (37-29-39). The medium in this hoodie fits SO exactly that I can't push the sleeves up or put more than a long sleeve tee under it, and it's cut long for me (mid hip). As the other reviews said, there is very little stretch in this knit. Ultimately, I love it for the office and casual wear, but it doesn't work for layering as part of my field gear, which is why I wanted it. I think I will be ordering a men's version for that purpose. Bottom line: it's a great hoodie, but be sure of the way you want it to fit!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a thorough review. We love getting feedback on the fit of our pieces. We will definitely be letting the product development team know about your experience!

Nice, heavy wool, and well made

The wool is heavy, dense, and very warm. It seems well made.

I had to return a women's medium for a large. I suggest ordering one size up if you're in the middle or high-end of a size, especially if you're tall. Ordering the 'correct' size results in a snug fit like the model photos, or even tighter, but that might not be what most people want in a hoodie.

The sleeves are short if you want to use the thumb holes, which was my main reason for going to a large. Adding an inch in the sleeves would be an improvement.

But after up-sizing, it's a very nice garment. Have not tried it in cold, but in warm weather one starts to overheat fairly quickly. Look forward to snow again.

Moolly Wammoth,

Thank you for your feedback! I really like the Kodiak Fleece Women's Brushed Wool Hoodie - Expedition! The wool is heavy and dense, and it's well made. I had to upsize to a large, and the sleeves are short if you want to use the thumb holes, but after up-sizing it's a very nice garment. I look forward to snow again!
