Patagonia Merino 3 Midweight Pants - Women's

As far as baselayers go, the Patagonia Merino 3 Midweight Pants are the cream of the crop. The blend of fabrics in these pants - which include merino wool, Capilene® polyester and a little spandex thrown in there - means 3 things: these pants will be soft against the skin, wicking and fast drying, and just stretchy enough for all sorts of activities. They've been slow washed for extra softness and shrink resistance and a flat, mesh-lined waistband allows for extra comfort.
