Looking for something to wear under my guide pants, in cold weather, anyone recommend the 200 peloton or 210 merino? Any experience with both, which could be better for cold weather? I wear the regular under armour under them now, but not warm enough. Thanks for any suggestions!

I don't have any Peloton, but just a heads up that Kuiu is having 30% off most everything from now until Sunday.

Kuiu sale is 30 % if purchase is over $300. I have a bunch of the first lite base layers and would buy everyone of them again, there great!

I have the 210 Merino long sleeve and really like it! Great for layering and kept me pretty warm with just that on in low 50 degree weather. Wore it 4 days straight and didn't absorb any smell at all and believe me, I did sweat plenty in it. With that being said, I imagine the bottoms would be very nice as well.

I use the pelaton 200 zip long sleeve and love it. I'm sure it would be very comfortable as a bottom as well. I have their 145 merino and love it as well, so as far as what you should order I don't think you can go wrong. Here is what I noticed with both of my tops though... the Pelaton seems more robust and may not wear out as easily as the merino. The merino never did start to smell even after 8 straight days of wearing it, so this may be a definite plus with the bottoms. I think the pelaton is thicker, at least on the top, so you may want to make sure you get one that will fit under your pants without making you feel like the marshmallow man.

Thanks! Was looking at the 200 bottoms, but was wondering how thick they are, if they would fit under my guide's like you were saying.

Leaning more towards the merino 210, one more question. Anyone have a size 30 waist? Says medium is 33, wondering if they would even fit.

Over $300? Let's see that would be about how much one of their beanies costs.:rolleyes:
Yea, pretty much. I do have one of their packs, and when you're well over a hundred pounds, but it still feels lite, I guess it's worth it.

My friend and I both rock the 210 Merino from kuiu, as well as the rest of their line up. Couldn't be happier. It is not very thick for the warmth it creates, and the best part is the zip off ability, which makes changing layers a breeze. I only wear it if the temps drop below 40*, but if it drops below 30* and I'm not moving I get cold. Thats where the super down comes in handy.... The size M (33") fit me perfectly and I'm technically a 32" waist. Their clothing sizes are based on the layering system so an under-layer will be slightly smaller than stated, main layer will be dead on, rain layer just a bit larger. If you are on the high side of a 30" waist it would probably fit.

The sale is now, and is 30% off everything, no limit on how much you spend. Over $300 gets free shipping. Just picked up another set of gloves, yukon. Got 30% off, didn't spend $300.... I can read ;)
