What our reviewers liked and didn't
Merino Wool Cargo Pants
- 80% merino wool
- Made in Canada
- Pleated cargo pockets
- Dry-clean care is less convenient than machine-washable hiking clothing.
100% Wool Pants
- 100% wool
- 28 oz cloth
- Made in Canada
- The 28 oz cloth is a poor match for fast hiking in mild temperatures.
