Women's Aspect Merino Wool High Rise Base Layer Bottoms

As seen in Backpacker Magazine, "The Best Cold Weather Base Layers for 2022," the all new Aspect Merino High Rise Base Layer Legging is the evolution of our best-selling bottom. Designed at the request of our female athletes, this design features a sleek high-waisted fit that provides incredible comfort and coverage on the hill and off. To complement the new fit, we custom-developed a new Merino Wool fabric that is super-soft, durable and has great recovery to retain its flattering shape. Not to mention, the Merino Wool next-to-skin offers all the technical performance benefits that occur naturally with this miracle fiber: wicks sweat, repels odor and regulates temperature, so you feel fresh and comfortable all day long.
