Mid-rise meets merino in the Cedars 3/4 Bottom
The Cedars RWS Merino Lt-Wt Mid-Rise 3/4 Bottom sits at a rise built to feel like nothing and a length that splits the difference between a full baselayer and a short, ready for anything from a resort day to a winter hike. Merino wool does the rest: regulating temperature, wicking moisture, and shrugging off odor wash after wash. Nylon fibers add the structure to keep the fit honest over a full season.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The waistband sits flat instead of digging in when I'm buckled into a harness all day. No front seam means nothing presses back against my pants."

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a size in the Backcountry Cedars Merino Lightweight Mid-Rise Bottom?
Choose your usual size for a close, next-to-skin baselayer fit; size up if you’re between sizes or prefer a less close fit. Use the women’s size chart, since men’s sizing won’t translate directly to this women’s-specific cut.When is the Backcountry Cedars Merino Lightweight Bottom best to wear?
It’s suited to resort skiing, snowboarding, and cool-weather hikes under your pants, where merino helps manage moisture and odor. For wet or windy conditions, add an outer shell; for very cold, low-output days, pair it with a warmer layer.How does this Backcountry merino bottom compare with a full-length baselayer?
Its 23-inch inseam gives it a 3/4-length cut that reduces fabric inside ski and snowboard boots. Compared with a full-length bottom, it offers less ankle coverage, while its lightweight construction favors lower bulk over maximum warmth.How should I layer the Cedars bottom under ski pants?
Wear it next to skin beneath your ski or snowboard pants; its close fit helps keep the layers smooth, and the shorter inseam helps limit bunching in boots. For added warmth, layer up with suitable outer pants rather than treating this bottom as an insulated or weatherproof layer.How should I wash and dry the Backcountry Cedars Merino Bottom?
Follow the garment care label; gentle washing with mild wool-safe detergent and air-drying flat help care for merino and preserve the garment’s shape. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high heat.
