Women's Super Soft Merino Union 150 Knickers
Offering a combination of natural merino wool and technical polyester, our Merino Union 150 Knickers are the ultimate “best-of-both worlds” base layer.

Merino wool has an uncanny ability to regulate your temperature in a wide range of conditions. It’s nice and cosy in the cold but never too hot when the temperature, or your activity level, start to rise. It ‘wicks’ moisture extremely efficiently and, because wool is the only fibre in the world that can absorb vapour, it delays the onset of sweating - keeping you far more comfortable and eliminating that unpleasant chilling feeling you sometimes get when you take a break or slow down.
Our Merino Union 150 Knickers are incredibly soft and comfortable next to the skin - there’s none of the unpleasant itching you get with ordinary wool or poor quality merino.
The fabric blend also has another remarkable benefit which makes it particularly suitable for wearing next to the skin. Wool has an amazing resistance to the build-up of odour. You can wear it for days without feeling the need to freshen it up. On a long trip, where washing facilities are limited, it’s a real boon. And when the time finally does come to freshen it up, you’ll find it’s simplicity itself to wash. Just throw it in the machine or rinse it through with travel wash. And, because of the quick drying nature of synthetics, just hang them out to dry and they’ll be ready to go again the next day.
The pointelle fabric construction isn’t just an attractive finish, it’s functional too. The little eyelets makes the garment more breathable, and - counterintuitively – this ‘holey’ construction actually gives the fabric a higher level of durability.
Fabric:
Merino Union 150 (48% merino wool, 48% polyester, 3% polamide, 1% elastane)
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.

What People are Saying
My favourite pants, not just for trekking.
I love these pants, yes, they are a little expensive, but worth the money. I have used these on multi day trekking / camping trips over the colder months and they have been amazing. They rinse and dry overnight, hanging on my line inside my tent. They are super soft, super comfy, do not Chaffe and can be worn over several days without washing. They are lightweight at 40g, not the lightest around but the fact you only need 2 pairs for any length of trip is the tipping point in including them on my ultralight packing list. The only problem is, I want to wear them for every day use as they are so comfortable :-)
