I'm a huge fan of the Icebreaker merino wool underwear--I wear it snowboarding and snowshoeing in the coldest, wettest conditions and it stays warm, dries quickly, and feels great next to my skin. These "legless" pants are basically knickers, which keeps the bottom of the leg out of my snowboard boots (which can be fairly painful if the underwear or socks bunch up near the top of the boot). A good value.

I bought one back in the late fall to use for skiing. I just started to look at merino wool for base layers and Icebreaker makes some great products. I stayed warm without overheating. The pants didn't smell unlike some synthetics I have. And there was no itching either. Since my first trip I have bought a few more sets.

Very comfortable and broad temp range. Good for low temps or snowshoeing

This is my second pair of icebreakers but the legless ones arrived too late for my last big trip. While i can't yet evaluate the shorter version, i can tell you that i LOVE wearing the other pair i have. They keep me warmer than my synthetic base layer, don't smell, are very comfortable espec around the waist. Basically i don't feel like I'm wearing an extra layer. Some static buildup but much less than synthetic. They wash well and hang dry about as fast, too.

Summary: super warm, super plush. spend the money!

I love them! They are just the right length and give just the right amount of warmth on the 30-40 degree ski days. I definitely recommend them!!

Don't get me wrong, this is another great item of clothing from IceBreaker. My personal preference, after wearing this for a few weeks, is a full-length leg that I can more easily tuck into socks so they don't pull up from sitting or pulling on pants over them.

How cool are these long johns? So simple yet perfect. The leg length stops right below my knee pad and my socks come right up over them making the perfect fit! These are warm yet super breathable under my soft shell pants and move moisture better than anything I've worn. I didn't even notice they were wool until my wife pointed it out after a few test runs. I thought I was allergic to wool, guess not.

I purchased these for my foray back into skiing. I had my boots custom fit and I did not need to deal with the extra length of the typical pant bunching up in the boot, or cutting into my leg rolled up.
These were very warm for December Utah skiing/boarding and true to the description they store heat on the ride down and release it on the lifts. Highly recommended. Also not itchy at all.

I love my legless tights! They are very warm, and the perfect length: NO problem in my ski boot! Highly recommended!

I was in the market for some new base layers for a while before I found these. I really like the 3/4 length for skiing and the comfort & warmth of these is killer. I would not say they are exactly odor free as Merino Wool boasts, but they definitely don't hold onto funk like your old Capilene does. Pick up a pair of these and join the Merino revolution, they are a fantastic piece for your winter clothing quiver.
