From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Smartwool Men's Midweight Bottom (Spring 2008) Features: Covered elastic waistband Flatlock seam construction eliminates chaffing Traditional fly design 100% SmartWool interlock knit Fabric Weight: 235 gm/m2 = 7 oz/yd2 Garment Weight: 222 gm = 7.8 oz"

From Backcountry.com:
"Wear the SmartWool Women's Midweight Bottom for stop-and-go aerobic activities or as an insulating base layer. This warm pant is ideal for situations where the weather and temperature fluctuate, like in alpine environments. SmartWool's porous natural fibers move moisture in vapor form, creating a dry layer of air around your body that encourages evaporative cooling; you stay drier and more comfortable throughout your alpine foray. By comparison, synthetics transport moisture after it condenses; you must be moving and visibly sweaty for moisture management to occur, which can lead to chills once you stop moving. SmartWool fiber adapts to a broad range of conditions; it keeps you warm when you rest and cool when your pulse and core temperature heat up. This naturally anti-microbial pant features a covered elastic waistband, chafe-reducing flatlock seams, and an active fit that allows for bulk-free layering without inhibiting your freedom of movement."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Perfect for forays into alpine environments, the SmartWool Men's Microweight Bottoms surround your legs in comfort and performance with next-to-skin custom fitting, a covered elastic waistband, and flatlock seams. SmartWool 100% jersey knit Merino wool that has tiny air pockets providing an insulating layer of natural air, is the perfect body temperature regulator, enhancing warmth in the cold. With wool being the most efficient moisture management material on the market, the functional Midweight bottoms keep you dry, itch free, odor free, and ensures all day comfort. Washer and dryer friendly, this easy to care for garment is shrink free, and features a traditional fly."

From RockCreek:
"Smartwool's Midweight Bottoms are their heaviest line of base layer clothing. The Midweight Bottom is perfect for forays into alpine environments where temperatures -- and schedules -- fluctuate. Comfortable next to the skin, and offering the world s most efficient moisture-management system. Because Smartwool fibers wick moisture away while it's still in a vapor state, Smartwool keeps you dry, comfortable, and odor free. Smartwool has a natural crimp that traps thousands of tiny little air pockets that act like insulation for your body. Sythetics have to wait for moisture to turn to liquid before wicking away. Smartwool is more versatile and superior to Synthetics in cold and warm weather because it compliments your body's natural heating and cooling process."

"I am a huge fan of the wool movement, efficient and sustainable. These bottoms keep my comfortable throughout a huge temperature span. I live in northern California and don't encounter freezing temperatures too often. If I'm moving these bottoms keep me cozy from 30-65 degrees."
