From November to March, I wear “Long John” bottoms every day. Additional purchases are required, but can you tell us the recommendation without finding the product as you wish? I have tried various brands, but the products I see in the store often do not fit my taste.
What you are looking for is a medium-thick type that sticks closely to the skin, but is not too snug. Most of the products are too close to the skin and do not slip in the pants. It looks good, but it feels very uncomfortable on an active work day. Also, the perfect pants have poor heat retention. In addition, we are looking for a smooth, somewhat smooth surface that can slip under the jacket. With these two features, no matter what you do while wearing warm insulation underwear, you need to be completely unconscious of its existence. No, no, no.
The best thing I’ve ever had was a medium-thick thermal that I bought from REI 3-4 years ago. After that, however, the design was changed and it became a fit that adhered to the skin, and it was relieved to take off at the end of the day.
Do you have any favorite products? Since there is no place to see the real thing nearby, it becomes an online order.
Because of the Nordic ski magazines I was reading in the seventies, I started track and field training and had a slightly different diet. Running on the hill and drinking raw eggs with oatmeal in the morning. Hmm. Another way I read is to use women’s tights and nylon stockings as thin base layers. I’m surprised how warm a thin piece is. But at the time, I was obsessed with wool and used both thin and medium thick for activities in the cold. I abandoned such a habit. A few years ago, he gave me a base layer of bottoms called “Paradox Dry Release” that his wife bought at Costco. Polyester material, perfect but not tightened, smoother than any wool. Surprisingly warm. I also see it in Amazon.
Even in summer, I wear under shorts. Breathable and quick to dry.
The base layer of Duluth Trading was a good choice. It is comfortable to wear and it is not too expensive even if you do not like it.
I’m wearing running tights now. Very thin fleece material, the outside is made of nylon. Because it is slippery, it can also be used for sliding. It is not too snug, it is a relaxed fit.
I bought it about 20 years ago and it is strong like iron. Made in Nike for winter jogging.
Although not an expert, I have mainly worn wool stanfields up and down. Cotton is also used when the temperature is a little cold. There are various thicknesses from thin to thick. I am completely satisfied.
Indela, Amazon. It is affordable and fits well, and in this area you can wear it casually from November to April. I have been using it for years, but now I choose it without getting lost.
I really like Terramar’s merino wool tops and bottoms. Comfortable and warm.
In a recent review of LL Bean’s medium-thick products (wool and polyester/nylon blend), I remember it was written with a relaxed fit. The general product may not fit the body. It is worth checking on the official website.
That’s it. Please, until next time… take care.
Minus 33 middleweight merino wool, tops and bottoms. There is also a dress that produces a rich color and style, the ultimate old-fashioned man/woman style. My stuff lasts very long, it’s warm, it’s not too hot, it’s sweaty.
The Swedish Wool Power Company likes to wear Stanfields in inland Alaska (today it is -30 degrees Fahrenheit) in the cold. It would be excessive in Iowa.
The merino wool bottoms of the purchased LL Bean had very poor waist elasticity. If you don’t mind wearing suspenders on long John bottoms, the wool itself was good.
I don’t wear long sleeves long trousers, so I don’t decide on a brand, but if you have a brand I like, why not order something that is one size larger than usual and make it a relaxing fit? Wrap the hem and ankle at any time.
Stanfields for cold and humid weather. Stanfields in the severe cold.
Thank you for posting. I’m sleeping in a cashmere sweater I got with a gift. I’m wearing a thick shirt.
Merino wool is all-purpose.
There are many options. Some of the Patagonia products that have been used for many years are still functioning after 40 years.
Next, I will try the underwear of Duluth Trading.
I switched to lining jeans!
It seems to work as much without the hassle of Long John’s.
We have a few jeans at Meners and a pair of jeans with a one-langer lining. Both can be used without problems. I don’t know what kind of lining I use, but please take one and try it.
There will be a severe cold wave tomorrow night, so it may be better to prepare something by tomorrow!
I use smart wool, ridge merino, arcterix base layers. We also used target brands, which are called low-medium-high. The effect is fine, and the price is cheap.
