Very attractive addition to my merino wool collection. These are midweight I would say so heavier than a typical legging, more like a pant. Form fitting except more roomy from mid calf to ankle but no where near a bootcut or straightleg. The quality of the material and the construction are typical Icebreaker outstanding, they make the *best* merino wool products on earth. If you are new to merino, the reason this stuff is so great: keeps you cool in hot weather, warm in cold weather, never retains odor, breathable and dries quickly. Due to the heavier weight of these, should dry overnight probably - may take slightly longer. Recommend you air or flat dry otherwise will notice some shrinking with machine dryer.
