The perfect base layer, January 5, 2011
Having used several Australian merino wool thermals (from Snowgum and Kathmandu), I was interested to see the hype about the IceBreakers my friend was raving on about. He told of a story of a man who spend a month hiking Mount Everest wearing IceBreakers and not only did it keep him warm, his thermals didnt even smell after a month of using them. I was sold.
I am a size 32 pant, usually a Medium shirt size guy. Using the website sizing chart, I originally ordered a Medium but in reality it was loose on the skin, I had to return it for a Small, and it was a perfect snug fit on the skin. So definately go one size down when ordering.
My first impression was that it was extremely light and a little thin, but you can feel that that the material being New Zealand merino wool, it was very warm.
I used the bottoms as my only underlayer on my first day in Whistler, and I was comfortable the entire time!
and it doesnt even smell after a 3 day back to back session!
Honestly, Im thinking about throwing away all my thermals and just keeping one pair of IceBreaker 260's.
Hope this review helps!

Very good product but sizes are small., January 1, 2009
This review is from: Icebreaker Men's Legging with Fly Bodyfit 260 (Apparel)
The wool is so high quality it has a very smooth feel. Is very warm also. But I am a medium size everywhere but here. Icebreaker large fits me best.

Excellent quality but loose fitting, February 8, 2012
The material is very soft and comfortable to wear for days on end. It's also true that these wool leggings have the incredible property of staying completely odor free even after two weeks of daily wear. Under jeans, they keep my lower body warm and dry. My only complaint is that they are very loose if your legs are even slightly on the skinny side. I'm a distance runner and my legs are lean and these leggings hang very loose.
