Decent base layer

By gearjunky Ranked #733 - Men's Long Underwear December 17, 2007

Being that they are the most expensive base layer, they just didn't "WoW" me like I expected...they didn't really stand out...I have a pair of medium weight Cloudveil and light weight Icebreaker base layer pants and those did stand out as being excellent gear.

I'm short for my weight, so I should have know that a boot fit wouldn't really be a "boot fit" for me. I was disappointed by that fact, so these arrived and they look like capris on me...lol..I guess thats better than the alternative of buying the full length and being several inches too long!

I just put my socks and kept these above my boots when I was putting my ski boots on, then they kind of "swim" above my boots. I guess it still reduces the material that's bunched up or getting in the way. I think i'll have these tailored to my height to make them work like they are meant to be.

The description doesn't tell you but these are made from a thick Polartec material (about the thickness of a sweatshirt). They do keep you warm.
