down to what temperatures would the micro weight long underwear keep someone warm under light hiking pants ?
I don't know if the lightweight ones would be too hot for walking around in unless its below zero ?

Depends on two things: what activity you're doing, and what your body is normally (are you a warm/average/cold person?). If youre talking cardio (xc ski, running) these are great down into the 20's. Hiking or walking steadily, the lightweights work well into the 30's and 20's. If you're intermittently walking, or kicking around town, stopping in at shops or bars, go with the midweight. I use midweights with jeans down into the teens comfortably, and you don't get too warm when you go inside. The only time I overheat is when I'm wearing the midweights in a really warm environment (i.e. crowded bar after a couple hours).
