Care for your layer
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/wool cycle in cold water (50-68°F). Use a mild wool-safe or pH-neutral detergent. Wash with similar colors. Don't bleach or use fabric softener.
Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry. Don't tumble dry, twist, or wring. Cool iron if needed. Store folded in a cool, dry space with airflow; avoid hanging.
Naturally dyed colors can transfer with sweat or friction. Wear them with dark clothing or equipment, wash sparingly, and avoid citric acid, which can lighten the color.

They fit small. I normally am a large and they were very tight. No returns on underwear.

Love the fabric, but the fit makes me sad. No support or much consideration for anatomy. Please give the design the same level of attention as the material.

Ultralight. Moisture wicking. No itching. Very little odor, especially relative to other fabrics. What more can one desire in a backpacking brief? Only two complaints are that the fabric is delicate and these are pricey for undies. Even after handwashing these, they lasted about 1 season only (around 20 hand washing sessions) before they started to develop thin spots and then holes. Wash very delicately and maybe they will last you longer.
Hi Sherpa, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really glad to hear they worked well and were comfortable to wear on the trail. We also appreciate your honest feedback, comments like yours are very helpful. Thanks again for your support!

I've bought quite a few wool (alpaca and sheep) underwear, and these had the worst durability. I wash all of them the same: cold water, low heat. Smartwool broke down after 31 washes, Woolly has survived 65 with no issues, but these fell apart after only 7 washes. The fabric under the crotch is single layer, and it developed multiple tears really quickly. I liked the shirt I got from here, but I don't believe their underwear is worth your time or money until they double up the fabric in weak areas.

I ordered a 5 pack of these, opened the package and was disappointed to find that the inseams were about 1-2" which clearly would ride up and be uncomfortable with any type of movement, and the waist band is not seamless — it has a large vertical bar tack stitch which is more than 3/16" in thickness and presses into your right side.
I communicated my disappointment here and asked for a return and was denied several times despite my best efforts in communication because I OPENED THE PACKAGE to see the garment. The garments were in perfect unworn condition as they originally specified, but upon emailing them photos of the garments per their request, they replied stating that because the package was opened they were unreturnable.
I think this is a massive failure on their part that it is basically impossible to see the garment without it being final sale. I'm now out $200 and am trying to figure out what to do with the material because they're not wearable for an active person like myself. If I could upload photos of the garments I would just so other people wouldn't fall into this same pitfall.
The second you open the package it is impossible to return, so buyer be ware.
