Magnus,
I just bought some for my wife for Christmas. It seems to be lighter then my Ullforte. It feels and has a similer thickness to my First Lite.

Mudd. Google it there's a sight for it but don't know a difference. They have a 200 and a 400 as well at about half the price as the other stuff.

You'll love it. I have M-33 and Ulfrotte. The M-33 is thinner and tighter than the terry cloth loop of UF. I can't tell a difference in the field.

I have the 400 half zip tops and full bottoms.  I've never had smart wool or Ulfrotte but I have had both Filson and Ice Breaker merino wool.  I wouldn't buy the Filson again as it didn't last long.  The Ice Breaker is good stuff but expensive.  The Minus33 I have is about half the cost of the Ulfrotte and very effective and comfortable.  I recommend it.

I have top and bottom. I love it. It was recomended by friends that crab/halibut/cod fish with long lines and pots all year round. They think it is the best thing going. I  am wearing some as I write this after sitting outside today hunting. I did not get cold.  :thumbsup:

I was the hunting clothing buyer at an outdoor store, we carried Smartwool when we first opened, I got to sample a lot of their product, great stuff but pricy, I brought in Minus 33 in our second season and got to try a lot of their product! the socks are great and their baselayer Merino products were on par with Smartwool for half the price! There is also a company called Terramar that great baselayer products at a decent price!

Just bought some Minus 33 on fleabay on sale.  Good prices on the midweights.  I think there's more available if anyone is interested, the seller is theoutfittersoutlet.

I'll give a review after I receive it.

Nice stuff.
I think the tops are sized a little larger than Smartwool.

Great stuff, I use the 400 weight when it really gets cold.

Way below zero kind of cold.
