Why We Like The 185 Rock'N'Wool Short Pant
The key to staying comfortable in high alpine climates is a good first layer of defense, and the 185 Rock’N’Wool Baselayer offers excellent thermal regulation while we explore the mountain. Our favorite feature is the 3/4-length, which ensures no bunching occurs at the top of our ski or snowboard boots for enhanced comfort.

This is my second pair of these. My first lasted from 2019 and over 1200 miles on the PCT that year (mainly to sleep in at night). Then another 5 years of hiking various trails out west, Tahoe Rim Trail etc and also a lot of daily use at home during the winter under work clothes or to sleep in. They are 100% merino so they are very soft and comfortable. That said, anything made from merino needs special care when it comes to washing. Wash on gentle or wool cycle 30° and hang/line dry. Never use fabric softners! Improper washing is the main reason of early merino gear failure. I was surprised to see another reviewer saying his failed in a few days. Hopefully he got a refund or replacement because it sounds like his first pair was a lemon. My original pair now is 6 years old and has hundreds of Trail miles, camping , and even just daily wear under clothes during winter. They started wearing out at the waist band and eventually just came apart. But I was very happy with the amount of use I got out of them especially since the last few years I've used them as a baselayer during fall Wilderness Search and Rescue training! Hopefully my new pair holds up the same or longer. I'm 6'1, 170lbs, athletic build and medium fits great. I will say that these being 185gm and 100% merino they are more prone to getting snags or holes if you don't properly wash etc. It's kind of like how Dynnema ®️ how it's crazy strong and waterproof , 15 times stronger than steel but it's more prone to punctures and things like that. These are perfect to Sleep in while camping/thruhiking, great for daily sleeping too and also good as a baselayer. But if you're looking for something that you're really going to beat up, you may want to get one of their models that's a mix of merino, polymaide, nylon, tencel etc.. those mix of fabrics usually give the garment much more durability. But these can't be beat for comfort IMHO!
