Fit FAQs

What if I am between sizes?

If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up or down based on what fit type you would prefer, and based on how you plan to wear the piece. Our knitted merino is stretchy and you could realistically go with either size. If you would prefer an Athletic fit, size down. If you prefer a Regular or Relaxed fit, size up.

Do I need to size up/down to layer?

Generally, no, you do not need to purchase a different size than normal. Our base layers are designed to fit right into your current layering system. They are also designed to work with other products in our line, too. You may wish to adjust your sizing if you plan to wear one of our garments in a way that it is not intended, if that's the case please feel free to contact our customer service team for help.

Does your clothing run true to size?

Yes, our clothing runs true to size and is sized similar to most other American brands. If a sizing discrepancy is discovered, you will see fit advice in that product's specific listing.

Why Merino Wool?

Moisture Wicking

Minus33 Merino Wool regulates the amount of moisture on your skin by absorbing any moisture or sweat on your body. Then, the absorbed moisture evaporates out of the fabric into the atmosphere.

Anti-Microbial

Merino Wool fibers naturally reject any bacteria in moisture or sweat as it is wicked away, so foot fungus and smelly odor will not be a problem while wearing our products.

Insulates When Wet

Wool will absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. If you do get wet, wool will insulate you better than cotton or polyester materials.

Fire Resistant

Merino Wool insulates against high temperatures and does not readily catch fire. If it does, it self-extinguishes. When Merino burns, it doesn’t melt and stick to the skin like synthetic fabrics do.

UV Protection

Don’t worry about sunburn on a sunny day summiting a peak. Lightweight layers have a UPF rating of 25. Midweight and Expedition have a UPF rating of 50+.

Renewable

Merino Wool has a low environmental footprint and naturally returns to the elements. Shear a merino sheep in the morning, and in the afternoon they’re happily nibbling their way towards renewing next season’s clip.

Absolutely Indispensable

I have been wearing Minus33 for over 6 years now-- until this purchase made direct from their website, all my others came from Amazon. All of these garments are the heavy expedition types and all are men's even though I am a senior age woman. I am outdoors every day in winter to care for animals; but the main reason I bought these items are to wear inside under my clothing because I have baseboard heat and I keep it on the lowest setting when I have to have it on at all. I live in eastern USA in mountainous region and the climate can be quite cold at times.Throughout my lifetime I have purchased cold weather gear from at least 5 of the major brands of cold weather gear. Minus33 is my favorite, in spite of the high prices. I own just about every piece they make, including socks and hats. I have the hooded jacket and two pairs of the pants and tops. I love the 1/4 zip tops. I have washed and thrown the garments into the dryer as well as drying them on the line. They hold up perfectly, including the stitching around the thumb holes, which has always been a disappointment from the other brands. They do attract pet hair, and I don't like that they are manufactured in China, except for the socks. But I consider them absolutely indispensable for my winter wardrobe and would buy again in a heartbeat.

Ruth,

Thank you very much for leaving us such an amazing and detailed review. It's the customers like yourself that make us great! I'd like to thank you for choosing Minus33 as your go to brand for your cold weather gear. It's great to hear that our garments keep you nice and toasty while you care for your animals during the cold winter months. As well as indoors, here in the eastern United States. We design our clothing to be able to be washed conveniently with the busy life styles of our customers in todays day in age and it's great to hear that all your garments have been a great example of this. A main goal for the future of Minus33 is to re-shore as much manufacturing as we can! Thanks again for the review!

Stay Warm,

-Steven D
