Ordinary merino long johns hold warmth even when damp, but feel clammy on your skin once you've been sweating. Polyester long johns dry quickly but don't hold warmth. Merino Extreme combines the best of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secret of Merino Extreme is the two-layer structure of its 200 g\/m² knit. The polypropylene on the inside moves moisture away from your skin, while the merino wool on the outside holds warmth and breathes naturally. Your skin stays dry as your heart rate rises, and your body stays warm during breaks too. The fabric feels soft and light on your skin, almost as if you weren't wearing the bottoms at all, yet it still regulates your temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is naturally odour-resistant, so when you take the bottoms off in the afternoon, you're not greeted by that familiar stale base layer smell. They feel as fresh as when you put them on. On long trips, airing the bottoms is often enough to freshen them up, which is a big advantage when washing isn't an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tyytyvaisyystakuu\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMerino Extreme 200 base layer bottoms come with a 100-day satisfaction guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e We want to give you time to try them properly: wear them as you normally would for 100 days. If you're not happy with them for any reason, you'll get your money back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePro-tested Merino Extreme 200 base layer bottoms for any situation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese close-fitting but stretchy men's base layer bottoms move with you without feeling tight. Squat, lift your leg or take a long stride, and the bottoms follow your movements instead of stretching or holding you back. The anatomically shaped front panel adds comfort and freedom of movement, so the bottoms feel natural whether you're moving or standing still. All seams are soft flatlock seams that lie flat and won't rub your skin, even with repeated wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe full-length legs protect your whole lower body from the cold, from waist to ankle. This is especially important on long trips, when your lower body has time to get as cold as your upper body. Merino Extreme keeps your legs warm even when you're not moving, whether you're sitting at a rest stop or waiting in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft but firm elastic waistband with the Svala logo keeps the bottoms securely in place, so you don't have to keep pulling them back up as you move or reach under your layers to adjust them. The elastic won't leave a red mark on your waist, even if you wear the bottoms all day under thicker workwear or outer trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can wear the Merino Extreme 200 base layer bottoms as a second layer over Airbase mesh bottoms, or as your first layer in severe cold. In the Svala AIR System™, these bottoms are the Base Layer: the warming layer you wear over Airbase, the moisture-wicking Zero Layer. Pair them with the Merino Extreme 200 top of your choice to keep your whole body warm and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px; padding-top: 80px;\"\u003eThoughts from the designer \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The layer under your trousers is often the one that gets forgotten – we think about the jacket and the top, but overlook the legs. Yet when you're standing still, your legs get cold just as quickly as your upper body. I wanted to design men's base layer bottoms where two materials work together: polypropylene carries moisture away, and merino wool holds warmth even when the bottoms are damp.”  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/5436\/8334\/files\/Vaikuttajan_pyorea_pohja_2.jpg?v=1789576872\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px; padding-bottom: 80px;\"\u003eNinni Pohto, designer at Svala \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMerino wool and polypropylene: a fabric refined over decades\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two-layer structure of the Merino Extreme knit is the result of years of development at Svala. The inner layer is polypropylene, which moves moisture efficiently from your skin to the outer layer. The outer layer is SuperWash-treated merino wool blended with a small amount of polyamide to make it more hard-wearing. In practice, this means your skin stays dry and the bottoms keep you warm even when they're damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is naturally excellent at holding warmth and moving moisture. Its natural odour resistance helps prevent unpleasant smells, and you can often freshen the bottoms by airing them instead of washing them. That means you can pack one pair for a trip instead of five. Long-fibre merino wool doesn't itch like ordinary wool, so the bottoms feel soft and comfortable on your skin, even when you wear them for long periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino Extreme works very well as a first layer in severe cold or as a second layer over Svala Airbase mesh bottoms. In temperatures from −30 °C to +15 °C, the bottoms keep you warm even when you alternate between activity and rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe men's Merino Extreme 200 base layer bottoms are made from 75% mulesing-free merino wool, 22% polypropylene and 3% polyamide. The materials are OEKO-TEX 100 certified, which guarantees the product is safe against your skin. The bottoms are designed and made at the Svala factory in Kärsämäki, Finland, with skills honed over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeveloped in Finland for Finnish weather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacking your rucksack for a week in the wilderness, where temperatures change from morning to evening? Mountain biking and enjoying the climbs and descents? Working a long day in the cold, with the temperature never rising above freezing? Merino Extreme is made for moments like these.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino Extreme products suit almost any hobby on land, on water and in the air, as well as leisure time outside.
