Kancamagus Midweight Men's 100% Merino Wool Bottom
Combine the warmth of a blanket with the functionality of a pant, and you get the Kancamagus—a midweight base layer that refuses to let cold weather keep you inside. Slip these under your favorite jeans or work pants and suddenly 30-degree mornings feel manageable. The 100% merino wool does what synthetics can't: regulating temperature whether you're sitting in a deer stand or breaking trail on snowshoes, staying odor-free day after day, and insulating even when damp. Named after the "Fearless One"—the historic ruler of Southern New Hampshire whose namesake highway draws visitors every fall—these bottoms are built for men who don't let the thermometer dictate their plans.
