Nogood telling the reader how good this is without referencing to others for comparison so here goes :-In the 1970's to 1980's I used long johns bought from high street stores and also Damart (thermal underwear). These may have been satisfactory for warmth but terrible for dealing with sweat.Since 1979 I have been using Helly Hensen (HH) Lifa (not Lifa Merino (not available then) interspersed with Damart. Lifa is great in handling sweating but didn't provide the warmth of Damart.Around 2010 spent two winters using HH Merino (not Lifa Merino). These gave a good compromise in handlign warmth and sweat. But HH Merino disappeared off the market; guess replaced by HH Lifa Merino. These are great and have been using them for the past 10 years. However, the HH pricing has gone strastospheric.Found anohter brand on Amazon offering merino (only, not like Lifa Merino with synthetic). However, these were very thin and thus disappointed.So came towards end of winter 2024/25 decided to continue searching - realised Merino.tech market 3 different thicknesses of merino base layers. Am happy to report that these 320 gsm (grammes per square metre) ones are the thickest pair of long johns I have tried for couple of decades. They are warm. However, don't reckon they deal with sweat as well as HH Lifa Merino - but then you have to consider the price, which is not £80 for the HH Lifa Merino.In summary, if these Merino.tech long johns lasts as long as those from HH, then these deserve 5 stars but it is too soon to tell. (I have had the HH Lifa Merino for 10 years and I also have HH Lifa (not Lifa Merino) for 20 years ..... so it maybe that spending more will mean longer lasting product. Time will tell but early sign is not comforting because the Merino.tech leaflet says hand wash only for their "Lifetime Warranty". Get Real! I won't have time to hand wash ! No, I will wash as per the way I do with the HH brand, 30 degrees on the wool cycle in a washing machine using non-bio detergent.) I am not born yesterday and I am not going to fall for that "Lifetime" nonsense because "Lifetime" means what ever the manufacturer wants it to mean and it's never as long as the customer expects.

Very effective

I use many product made from merino wool they are the best, warm in the winter and cool in the summer

definitely better than cheap heatwave brand but is it worth it?Depends on the user. For me yes, as I walk more in evenings and early morning.

Nice warm leggings at a price

very beautuful and quality made

I purchased this to keep legs warm mainly inside my old house in the winter, and it does that job well.I had previously used synthetic material leggings that were irritable to wear compared to thse that I forget I am wearing. Also the periodic cold leg feeling is gone, so pleased.

Bought for 72yr old hubby who feels the cold. He's so happy with the leggings, they are very warm and comfortable and very good quality. They fit perfectly.
