Kenyon Polarskins Long Underwear Bottoms - Heavyweight (For Women)

Also works as pajamas

They fit under my loose jeans, but barely. They felt like cheap poly coming out of the package, but ended up being pretty comfortable. Glad I kept them for super-cold festival nights... but I won't be working out in them.

Very warm and durable.

I bought these because I thought they would be an inexpensive option to wear under my ski pants for warmth. I wear a size 1X womens(20W) ski pant, the XX LARGE fit me well under them. I wore them today, and my butt was very cold all day. It was 48 degrees on the mountain, warm by most winter standards. I was sweating as I went down the mountain and walked around, but while sitting, my butt was very cold. The only benefit of these over the cotton stretch pants I had been wearing is that they didn't stay damp from sweat. So they do work for sweat moisture wicking, however when we walked back to the car, I sank in a few snow banks and the bottoms of my polarskins got wet, and stayed wet for the ride home. They are only 1 step above cotton stretch pants.

Too heavy for wearing under jeans.

As a base layer, which was my intended use, it is too bulky under regular pants -- probably ok under ski pants. Also, next to the skin, not as friendly as wool. So I wear it as an outer garment over thin-wool underwear, and that is a wonderfully warm combination. I like the slim hips. Legs are a bit long, but doubled under, there's an extra layer round the ankles when saving energy indoors.

These bottoms are great for comfy base layer in cold weather. I use them under waterproofs for snow hiking or play. Very comfortable.

When I read the discription it indicated that these were "heavy weight" material. I work outside all day and was excited to find a pair of womens long underwear at this price indicating heavy weight. Upon wearing them to work I was extremely cold and had to add layers to accomidate the weather. I purchased a pair of non-name brand long underwear from a large box store for even less, that I do not have to add layers to stay warm. I would not address these as "heavy weights" more for mild temps. 40-50 degrees.

I'll be skiing in WY in Feb. and these feel like they'll be warm and comfy. Good fit, true size.
