Searched around and can't any insight on this, hoping I can glean from the group's experience.
I just received the Smartwool midweight bottom base layer. I'm 5'7, 170#, usually a 34 waist. I tried them on and find that the waistband will pull out a couple of inches and I can feel some extra material behind my knees.
Question - how much will these stretch out over time? How much of a next-to-skin feel should they have? I intend to wear them at camp to sleep in, but not much for hiking in.
I'm wondering if I should size down to a small or if that will be too tight or constrictive.
Thoughts?
