For base layers I have orage, marmot, mons royale in my household, they're all good.

Icebreaker is great as well.

Where do you ski? What kind of low temps are you thinking about?

Rei makes a long underwear set that doesn’t crush my privates and is part recycled material.

gonna try smart wool this year and capilene for comparison and specific use

Base layers are either under armour cold gear leggings and top. I do have a pair of leggings from Duluth Trading Post that is 98% merino wool, and 2% spandex. Probably my favorite because super warm, yet soft and thin.

Socks, I've come to liking Darn Tough Vermont products. They're merino wool and they offer various thickness and warmth socks.

Are they they base 3.0 or 4.0? How warm ? Been quite interested in the 4s

They're quite thin though compared to my pair of OG cold gear leggings from like 10 years ago. I layer a lot so I probably can't tell the difference. Comfy though.

I would go with the 4.0's

I've had the chance to use a lot of different baselayers, and these Trew merino top and bottoms are by far the best I've ever used.

They're extremely odor resistant — I've been able to wear them for two weeks, skiing every day, and still no stink.

But unlike some other merino baselayers, the NuYarn fabric on the Trew baselayers is extremely stretchy, wicks moisture well, and most importantly, they've proven to be extremely durable. I've probably put around 175 days in the top and bottoms, with zero durability issues. That's extremely impressive for a merino piece, as merino's durability is generally its downfall.

On top of that, the top's hood works as an extremely functional face mask / neck gaiter, and the bottoms' 3/4 length work great with ski boots.

They are expensive, but IMO, they're the best baselayers you can buy.

For a cheaper alternative, Patagonia Capilene Midweight is a pretty versatile option.

For socks, Smartwool PhD, FITS, Le Bent, and Wigwam's thin socks are all solid. I love Dissent compression socks, but they're very pricey.

darn tough socks are the best

I use stance big mountain ski socks and patagonia base layers, work well enough in montana so they would probably be warm enough anywhere else

Been looking for wool leggings similar to my duluth ones since they don't make em anymore. Thanks for this post. Gonna pick one of those bottoms up probs

Stance Ski socks some of the best ever. Also Patagonia Baselayers are expensive but, the best ever.

I usually go for the thinnest pair of smartwool socks available. The thinner, the better, assuming your boots fit.
