Medima Merino Wool-Angora Long Underwear Bottoms - Midweight (For Women)

I wear "warmies" under skirts and sometimes pants fall through spring. I look for products not made in China, and Medima is one of my favorite brands. These pink ones looked really cutein they photo, and they are! These are beautiful, cozy, high quality "warmies" -- but they are sized for Japanese women! A medium is too small, especially too short an inseam. They are like capris. For petite women as sized they may be fine, but for medium stature women they will be a disappointment because of the sizing.

I'm writing this review for both my wife and my mother-in-law, both of whom can be very tough to please with clothing. They could not be happier with these bottoms. I originally bought them for my wife to wear to work under her normal pants on colder days. she loved them so much that we bought her a second pair and after hearing so much about them, her mother also wanted a pair. So far, they've held up well to repeated wearing and washing and the fabric only seems to get softer with use. One other thing they've both raved about is the thin, comfortable waist band which is not too tight but still keeps the bottoms in place all day long.

I returned these because they are thin, and I can wear other thin ones instead. Like all Merino Wool, they are very comfortable.

As the other commenters have noted, the sizing is way off on these bottoms. I am 5'7", wear a size 2, and the medium pants fit. They are, of course, a bit short, but only by 2-3 inches. I knew this upon ordering and really don't mind since I'll be wearing high wool socks with them. The pants themselves are great quality and very comfortable. Plus, they are made of natural fibers, which is difficult to find these days. If you are on the petite side or don't mind long undies that are a few inches above the ankle, these are a great buy.

The only thing that goes into a ski boot, besides the leg and foot, is the ski sock. I layer these little bun warmers ON. For that reason, the cropped length is OK, and I am 5'9".
