I wear "long john" bottoms every day from November to March. I need to buy some more and am having trouble finding what I want and was hoping for some recommendations. I've tried multiple brands over the and years and more often than not what I find available is not what I prefer.
I'm looking for something mid-weight that fits somewhat close to the skin but is not skin tight. Most of what's available is a tight fit that doesn't allow your skin to slide within the pants. This looks cool but I find it very uncomfortable over the course of an active working day. The tight pants aren't as warm either. I'm also looking for something that has a smooth and somewhat slick outer surface that slides under the top layer of pants. With these two attributes I can do anything I like while wearing the thermal underwear and not even be aware it's there. No bunching and no grabbing.
The best I've found so far are some midweight thermals from REI I bought 3-4 years ago. Since then, however, the design has been changed and they now fit tighter to the skin and at the end of the day it was a relief to take them off.
Anyone have something they like? There is nowhere near here to find them in person so it will be an online order.
