Excellent product.
"Really warm and comfortable and so well made. Obviously high quality wool has been used, you can feel it on your skin. Perfect for keeping the cold away on winter walks or even skiing."
Designed to eliminate all cold, our Athena full-length, fitted high-waisted leggings are made from the finest Italian merino, with perforations around the knee and ankle and an elasticated waist for extra comfort.
Named after the Greek Goddess of wisdom, these midweight (180g) thermal leggings offer a practical base layer for extra warmth when needed. Perfect for all outdoor activities or overnight camping, the thermo-regulating properties of the merino enable it to adapt to your body's temperature, cooling you down when warm by wicking moisture away from the skin and keeping you protected from wind chill.
Please note these leggings will appear sheer when worn and are not designed to be worn alone.
Our women’s garments run true to size. We encourage UK customers to order two sizes as we offer free UK returns on orders of £100 or more.

Womens Midweight Merino Activewear Thermal Leggings
Change options: Navy Blazer / XS
£110.00
Exceptionally fine and naturally intelligent, merino wool is prized for its ability to regulate temperature while remaining soft against the skin. Designed by nature to adapt, it provides warmth in cooler conditions and breathability when temperatures rise.
We source our chunky merino from Peru and our extrafine and superfine merino is supplied by industry favourites Zegna Baruffa (Est. 1850), Papi Fabio (Est. 1890) and Lanerossi (Est. 1817).
Naturally adapts to your body, keeping you warm or cool as needed.
Moisture-wicking fibres keep you fresh, dry, and comfortable.
Light yet warm, with natural strength and shape retention.
Ultra-fine fibres feel exceptionally soft against sensitive skin.
Requires less washing and resists creasing.
Renewable, biodegradable natural fibre.
