Merino wool is a natural choice for base layers: it's soft, itch-free, stretchy, and its built-in moisture management buffers well against sudden temperature changes. The longer you're away from a laundry, the more you (and your friends) will appreciate its anti-microbial properties. The fabric used in these briefs is just the right thickness for year-round use.

• Made of 100% mulesing-free New Zealand merino wool.
• Four-way mechanical stretch.
• Low-profile flat-lock seams for comfort.
• Machine washable with about 6% total shrinkage.

Fit guide

Garments, designed for specific activities have features that aren’t always adaptable to general use. For example, cycling clothing is longer in the back and arms. Activity aside, the fit of MEC clothing falls into these categories:

Body fit: tight, with no room to spare.

Slim fit: very close fit, with a bit of room.

Regular fit: generous, but not oversized.

Relaxed fit: oversized with lots of room for layers.

All MEC men’s and boy’s pants are regular rise.
