Womens Midweight Merino Activewear Thermal Leggings

High-Performance Baselayer Pants

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.

Wash care

Thanks to its antimicrobial properties which make it resistant to odour-producing bacteria, your merino activewear will not need to be washed as regularly. We recommend quick washes in the sink with cool water, and spot cleaning any stains. You can refresh your garment between washes by gently steaming it.

Hand wash* with gentle detergent, wool, or baby shampoo
Lay flat to dry on a towel
Apply a gentle iron with a slow steam
Do not tumble dry

*Why we use hand wash only merino wool

Machine-washable merino wool is treated with a heat-resistant plastic, which cracks as it is washed and tumble dried. Aggressive washing damages merino, causing the wool to pill more, lose its shape and appear worn quicker than caring for hand wash only fibres.

Overall, choosing hand wash only merino wool means items last longer and they’re more environmentally friendly.
