Outdoor Research Alpine Onset Bottoms for Women

Good things about these pants 1- These pants are nice and warm 2- Fabric is durable and comfortable (it takes a few wears/washes) 3- The pants aren't see through, but I did get a dark color why I dont love these pants 1- the fabric isn't very flexible. While possible, these pants make it hard to get full ROM at the knees 2- the waist sits low and likes to ride down. This adds to the difficulty of bending my knees, I feel like I have to pull these pants up every time I squat or sit down. 3- the seam near the ankle digs in like crazy with ski boots. It only took one run to notice the rubbing and the seam was painful by the end of the day. 4- length. I'm 5'10 and these pants fall a couple inches about my ankle. But for most people I'd imagine the length is just fine 5'10 athletic build ordered size M

I wore these under my Cirque 2 pants for cross country skiing. They were a good base layer for temperatures hovering around 0C .

Very comfortable and cozy. Great for lounging around the house and also for layering for hiking, camping and skiing. Go to layer for leight weight warmth. Love the color too!

The bottoms are super comfy, fit well and seem like they are durable. The bottoms were a little scratchy right out of the package, but are much softer after a wash.

I used these under windproof shells to run the North Pole marathon in summer 2023. The temps were upper 20s with light wind and sunny. These provided just enough insulation without being too hot. I recommend these for any active outdoor activity under a windproof/waterproof shell.

Super lightweight base layer, you never felt bulky! Bought the set in snow camo too! They kept me warm.

Wear it as a baselayer under my snow gear. It keeps me warm in cold cold winter conditions. It is great being able to choose from good plus size technical gear to keep me warm and safe and comfortable outside.

Very soft and comfortable, fits well. Use this for active outdoor activities in cool/cold temperatures.

Ended up returning because the fit around hips/waist was poor fitting! Seemed to be a different fit from other OR baselayers such as the Enigma line which fits nicely.

Anytime I am out and the temperature is around freezing, these go on! Keeps me warm. After a few washes, they felt really comfortable and not itchy or scratchy on my skin.

The mediums were too large on me and had to be exchanged for a small (5'5" and 145lbs), but I thought the material was very high quality.

I love these pants!!! I use to wear a ton of layers when I was outside hunting in the Wisconsin winters. This year I was able to cut way back on my layers and still stay warm because of these pants! I am looking into getting more of these products for my son and I.

After a few weeks of trying these on in -30C to -50C northern Canada weather, I'm quite happy with how warm these baselayer pants are. They fit well around my thighs and backside, which is often a challenge with legging-type pants. I was expecting these to be softer, given they are merino. They feel more synthetic than some other baselayers that I have, and seem quite a bit thin. But, they've performed so far despite their thinness!

Got XXXL. The waist sits below my waist - could be roomier from front waist to back waist. The tag is annoyingly scratchy - odd choice for a base layer. Merino wool blend is coarser than Icebreaker pair but I'm hoping for durability.

I needed to replace my old base layers and landed on these for a winter white rim trip?they are fairly comfy but slightly itchy. We will see if they soften up after washing. Overall, decent pair but probably won't buy them again due to itchiness.

Very comfortable, looser fit than I was expecting but I love that the waistband isn't too tight.

cozy and comfy, but could use a bit more coverage in the caboose to prevent gaps when i bend down...
