Product Information

They’ll also hold up to extended wear and the occasional snag much better than lightweight options. Heavyweight There’s quite a bit of disparity between the prices of these long underwear. Some super-tuned synthetic and wool options are expensive enough to balk at. Outside of the fabric weight, the materials themselves are going to have the biggest performance impact on your thermal underwear. The materials are much the same as any you would find in outdoor wear, with the exception of cotton and silk, though it should be noted that cotton base layers aren’t suitable for any kind of high output outdoor activity but is included on this list for being a comfortable and affordable alternative in terms of being an effective insulator. Merino Wool You might opt for midweight long johns as something to wear around the fire when fall camping. Patagonia Capilene is a great thermal underwear for this. The traditional fit and classic ribbed fabric shape to your body’s natural contours for a more comfortable fit, keeping you wonderfully warm all winter long. Rated 0.45 tog, these men’s thermal long johns will keep you cosy, with a seamless fit for layering under your clothes.

On the extreme end of both ends of the spectrum, you have outliers that cater to more specialty applications. Featherweight base layers are almost exclusively used for distance runners in need of something to keep off late year chill and biting winds, but still keep them dry and unencumbered. Because of their extreme insulative properties, these thermal underwear won’t breathe at all, and any amount of prolonged exertion is likely to result in an uncomfortable sweaty mess.Lightweight thermal underwear as a rule will always be more effective at keeping you cool and dry than anything heavy. Whether you need thermal protection outdoors or instant warmth and softness at home, these Mens Thermal Long Johns in Charcoal will make your life warmer. Heat Holders men's thermal underwear is sure to keep you warm on even the coldest days.

Midweight long johns tend to be a bit more limited by both hard work and warm temperatures, but they aren’t totally out of the question for more mild activities like snowshoeing or alpine skiing when the weather is a little colder. The name “long john” is supposedly a reference to the late 18th century heavyweight boxing legend John L. Sullivan, who favored wearing them in the ring.

Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, you’ll discover a mixture of t-shirts and bottoms. These include long and short-sleeve thermal tops, alongside full-length bottoms, which are tight at the ankle for extra comfort. And let’s not forget fleece tops and bottoms for when it gets extra cold outside. Warm in winter Long underwear, colloquially known as “long johns” are the bottom component of what is now referred to as a “base layer”. You can’t go wrong with the Icebreakers for this. The more affordable option for a durable and active outdoor need will also be satisfied by the Base Force long underwear by Carhartt. But as noted the latter aren’t as warm. Silk is a little anachronistic compared to some of the flashy and fine tuned options that you see on this list, but it still has the advantage of being just about the most comfortable next-to-skin layer you can find. It’s also reasonably warm and odor-resistant. But that’s where most of the appeal stops- outside of use as a sleep layer there are much more practical and affordable options in synthetics. Pros As is the case with any piece of insulative clothing, exertion has a massive impact on internal temperature during use. In the case of thermal underwear and thermal base layer as a whole, it’s no stretch to say “you get out of it what you put into it.”
