As seen in Backpacker Magazine, "The Best Cold Weather Base Layers for 2022," the all-new Aspect Merino Bottom is the evolution of Ridge Merino's best-selling bottom. Designed at the request of their female athletes, this design features a sleek high-waisted fit that provides incredible comfort and coverage on the hill and off.
To complement the new fit, Ridge Merino custom-developed a new Merino Wool fabric that is super-soft, durable and has great recovery to retain its flattering shape. Not to mention, the merino wool next-to-skin offers all the technical performance benefits that occur naturally with this miracle fiber: wicks sweat, repels odor, and regulates temperature, so you feel fresh and comfortable all day long.
Features:
- Heavyweight - 240g/m, 18.5 micron
- Natural and sustainable Merino Wool reinforced with Ridge Merino's (m)Force Technology for increased durability, dry times, and recovery, and spandex for a great fit and recovery
- Class-leading durability - 50% stronger than comparable weights of Merino fabrics
- Provides a versatile mid-weight base layer weight that is warm but not too warm
- New High-waist fit for full coverage and a locked-in fit
- Natural temperature regulation means Ridge insulates when it’s cold and lets heat escape when temperatures rise
- Ridge natural fibers wick moisture away from your skin to prevent clamminess
- Due to its antimicrobial qualities, Merino wool naturally and permanently resists odor without the use of chemicals
- Sun Protection
- Flatlocked seams crotch gusset
- Full-length cut
- Removable care label
Fit: High-waisted base layer. Developed for Ridge Merino's female athletes who wanted more support and coverage in the mountains, this fit is a high-rise, form-fitting legging.

Toasty but see-through
These pants are great to wear around camp in cold weather. They were good on their own in temps in the mid-upper 30's. They fit well (though I did have to size up according to the size chart), and aren't itchy, my only complaint is when you bend over, your underwear is on full display (my husband could tell me the color of my thong and even the tag). Since I'll only be wearing them in the backcountry or as long underwear, it's not a dealbreaker, but if you plan on wearing them out in public, don't bend over!
Great baselayer leggings!
I have used them so far on 2 separate backpacking trips and have found them warm and comfortable. I also REALLY love that they do not ride super low like my smartwool baselayers! Definitely my new favorites!
Toasty Buns!
I run cold, my synthetic base layers never seem to be enough and i end up layering too much and getting bulky, so i decided to upgrade. I'm 5'8", 135ish lbs and run thicker in the waist so i used the size chart and picked a Large based on the measurements for said waist. Fit perfect, stayed in place, no sweat smell and lawd was i toasty! I will treasure this item and definitely invest in the top as well when the budget allows
