Men's Merino Wool Bottoms

Effortless Performance, Anytime, Anywhere

When we launched Unbound Merino, the travel clothing market was… complicated. You either had stylish pieces that couldn’t survive a hike, or “performance” gear that looked like it belonged in a survival bunker, complete with neon zippers, bulky cargo pockets, and branding that practically shouted.

We saw the gap, and we filled it with Merino wool clothing that bridges the line between high-performance utility and understated luxury. Our bottoms are a masterclass in restraint: clean, minimal silhouettes paired with fabric technology that works overtime. They travel well. They wear beautifully. And they belong just as easily in a cabin in the Alps as they do at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Milan.

This is clothing that doesn’t scream “traveler,” it whispers confidence.

Why Choose Merino Wool Bottoms?

Merino wool isn’t your average fabric. Sourced from one of nature’s most advanced fibers, it’s breathable, odor-resistant, and temperature-regulating, all without sacrificing softness or style. Unlike synthetics or heavy cottons, Merino adapts to your body and your environment.

Why our bottoms stand out:

• Moisture-wicking + breathable: Perfect for hot climates and active days.
• Naturally odor-resistant: Stay fresh for longer stretches between washes.
• Wrinkle-resistant + packable: Throw them in a bag, wear them straight out
• Lightweight layering: Works as a base layer bottom or a standalone essential.

Whether you're building a minimalist travel wardrobe, hiking across continents, or packing for a long weekend, our Merino wool pants will become your most-used item.

Pack Light. Wear Often. Go Far.

The beauty of Merino wool clothing lies in how little of it you need. When one pair of Merino wool boxer briefs can get you through multiple days, and still feel fresh, you suddenly realize just how easy it is to pack light without compromising comfort.

Our bottoms are intentionally designed to reduce bulk and increase versatility. Fewer zippers. No loud logos. Nothing you don't need, just what you do.

From men’s underwear to pants and shorts, we create high-performance travel clothing that earns its spot in your bag.

Designed for Movement and Everyday Life

We didn’t want to make pants that looked like they were borrowed from a climbing wall. But we also knew they had to move with you seamlessly.

Our Merino Travel Pants are built for movement and breathability, with a softness that makes them your go-to choice on long flights, quick hikes, or cross-town errands. These pants are an evolution of travel staples: stylish enough to sub in for chinos, durable enough for a trail.

And if you’re heading somewhere warm? Our Merino wool shorts give you all the same tech in a breezier format. Sweat-wicking, antimicrobial, and lightweight, they’re the shorts you didn’t know you needed, until you start living in them.

The Underwear That Redefined Travel

We’ve read the Reddit threads. Watched the YouTube reviews. There’s a reason our Merino wool boxer briefs have become a quiet icon in the minimalist travel world.

Travelers love them because they last, through long-haul flights, multi-day hikes, or weeks abroad. They resist odor, dry quickly, and retain their shape. That’s why many of our customers swear by packing just two or three pairs, even for extended trips.

Fewer pieces, more freedom.

Whether you're a seasoned backpacker or a business traveler trying to cut the excess, these Merino underwear pieces offer comfort and convenience without compromise.

Socks Made for Moving

Most travelers bring the wrong socks. They’re either too thick, too synthetic, too fast to wear out.

Ours are different.

Our Merino wool socks are breathable, fast-drying, and odor-resistant. They stay soft after hours of walking, adapt to cold or warm climates, and dry overnight, no hotel hair dryer needed. They’re your foot’s best friend in unfamiliar cities, mountain passes, and airport lounges alike.

Bottoms That Pair with Everything

We believe in a wardrobe that works harder, where every piece earns its keep.

Our men’s Merino wool bottoms are built to pair effortlessly with the rest of your closet. Neutral, classic tones mean they go with anything. Subtle tailoring means they elevate any look, without ever trying too hard.

From base layer bottoms on ski trips to smart-casual city wear, these pieces flex with your lifestyle.

Built to Last: Sustainable, Ethical Fashion

We design with purpose. That means choosing sustainable materials, ethical production partners, and a low-waste philosophy. Merino wool is naturally renewable and biodegradable, unlike synthetic alternatives that linger in landfills.

Our mission isn’t fast fashion. It’s forever fashion, pieces that perform for years, not months.

When you buy a pair of Unbound Merino bottoms, you’re investing in quality, durability, and conscious clothing.

Care and Maintenance: Made Simple

Merino wool has a reputation for performance, but also for being delicate. It’s easier than you think.

To care for your Merino wool bottoms:

• Wash cold with like colors
• Use a gentle detergent (no fabric softeners)
• Lay flat or hang to dry (no tumble dryer)

No need to wash after every wear; air them out and re-wear.

How do I choose the right size?

Our sizing and fit guidance is available on every product page. For pants and shorts, we recommend ordering your usual size. For men’s underwear, if you're between sizes, size down for a snugger fit.

Are these good for layering in colder climates?

Absolutely. Our pants work as a base layer bottom under snow gear or can be worn solo in cool conditions. They're insulating yet breathable, ideal for temperature shifts.

What makes Merino wool so ideal for travel clothing?

Merino is temperature-regulating, naturally odor-resistant, lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and dries quickly. It performs better than synthetic “performance wear” and feels better than cotton.

Do you offer Merino wool bottoms for women?

Yes, we also have a large collection of Merino wool bottoms for women, with inclusive fits that work for many body types.

Ready for Anything, Worn Everywhere

From alpine trails to rooftop dinners, early flights to late-night drinks, Unbound Merino bottoms keep pace with wherever you’re headed.

They don’t demand attention. They earn it quietly, through comfort, resilience, and considered design. When you’re packing light, traveling far, and expecting more from your clothing, these are the pieces you reach for first, and remember long after the trip ends.
