{"product_id":"alpine-230-merino-womens-pants","title":"XTM Alpine 230 Merino Women's Pants","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe half of the base layer people forget to buy. A merino top over synthetic leggings only does half the job, and you find that out on the first cold wet day, and on multi-day trips it is the bottom layer that starts to smell first. Skiing, alpine walking, winter camping and cold mornings anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFit and layering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut to sit next to skin without binding, so it layers flat under a fleece or a\nshell. Presentable enough on its own that it works as a normal top on the drive\nhome, which is more than most technical base layers manage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eFabric and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% fine Australian merino at 230 gsm. Wool works as a thermo-regulator rather than a simple insulator: it\nmoves moisture away as vapour and keeps insulating when damp, so it holds heat in\nthe cold and sheds it the moment you start working. Fine-micron merino is what\nmakes that comfortable against skin - the itch people remember is coarse fibre,\nnot wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also resists odour, which is the reason one pair covers a week away when\na synthetic equivalent needs three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCool wash, dry flat, keep it out of the dryer - dryer heat is what shrinks and\nfelts merino. It needs washing far less often than synthetic anyway; airing it\novernight resets it, which is the whole point on a long trip.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XTM Performance","offers":[{"title":"Mid Grey Marle \/ 8","offer_id":42600988967021,"sku":"ML002-MGM-08","price":79.59,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mid Grey Marle \/ 10","offer_id":42600988999789,"sku":"ML002-MGM-10","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mid Grey Marle \/ 12","offer_id":42600989032557,"sku":"ML002-MGM-12","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Mid Grey Marle \/ 14","offer_id":42600989065325,"sku":"ML002-MGM-14","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mid Grey Marle \/ 16","offer_id":42600989098093,"sku":"ML002-MGM-16","price":79.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mid Grey Marle \/ 18","offer_id":42600989130861,"sku":"ML002-MGM-18","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 8","offer_id":42602095018093,"sku":"ML002-BLK-08","price":69.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 10","offer_id":42602095050861,"sku":"ML002-BLK-10","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 12","offer_id":42602095083629,"sku":"ML002-BLK-12","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 14","offer_id":42602095116397,"sku":"ML002-BLK-14","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ 16","offer_id":42602095149165,"sku":"ML002-BLK-16","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 18","offer_id":42602095181933,"sku":"ML002-BLK-18","price":79.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 20","offer_id":42602095476845,"sku":"ML002-BLK-20","price":79.56,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/1708\/1197\/files\/xtm-performance-women-s-leggings-black-8-alpine230-merino-womens-pants-1218894218.jpg?v=1772387832","url":"https:\/\/ozbackcountry.com.au\/products\/alpine-230-merino-womens-pants","provider":"Oz Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
