These do fit strange and are not as high quality as the old stoic merino. But they are cheap so I had to try em.

Low rise in the back, tight on thighs, loose in waist, length not really long enough to get past my knee

These are a great value for the price, they are a thinner merino base layer but they run extremely tight. I have a skiers butt (it's big) and thicker thigh's. These are great for the length but they are just too small. I could probably fit in a large comfortably and i normally wear smalls, but the right size for me is most likely the medium.

I saw the other poor fit reviews, but thought I give is a try based on them being on sale. I sized up, and they fit snug like expected. However, the rise is too short and doesn't cover my rear properly (I have an average butt, I think). Also, the leg length is extra short compared to other 3/4 lengths I own, these barely reach just past my knee and bunch behind the knee when I bend. I would not recommend these based on these fit issues, but the material seams fine otherwise.

These are a bizarre length. I purchased the 3/4 length for use when skiing so they did not interfere with my boots and the full length to wear under waders when fishing. The 3/4 length do not go past my knees, more like an extra long boxer brief. The full length is what i would consider appropriate length to wear when skiing as they fit about where my ski boot will stop. I am 6'2" 205 lbs with a large ass and quads, these do fit tight but do not restrictive. I have yet to wear while while skiing or being active but i think they will do the job.

For those that have been holding out for the Stoic merino line to come back and are familiar with the feel of the previous products, this is not the quality you are accustomed. I absolutely love my old Stoic merino shirts, warm and soft. This polyester blend does not have the same feel.

Too small in the thighs. I ordered the medium (have some stoic merino baselayer bottoms from a few years ago in size large which are quite big on me) and couldn't even pull them on (32" waist). As in, they would not pull up past the knees. Sent them back for the Large, which are "roomy" in the waist and STILL too small in the thighs. I give up, great idea and I really wanted these to work but just bad sizing for an athletic product.
