The Kari Traa Åkle Pants are a simple baselayer made from 100% merino wool. They're just on the lighter side of midweight, which combines with the excellent breathability and moisture wicking properties of merino to make for an excellent layer for backcountry riding or high exertion resort laps. They stay warm even if they get wet, layer well under additional thermal pieces, and are finished off with a fun striped pattern.
