Comments about REI Midweight Polartec Power Dry Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:
REI finally started using Polartec fabric. No other synthetic fabric can compare. Two complaints I have on these are that the calf area is too big and the colors are terrible. Long underwear should always have a standard all black option without silly looking colored stitching. I am a former body builder and have very large calf muscles. I'm surprised to see how much extra room these have in that area. I find that slightly uncomfortable and they don't retain heat well in that area or wick moisture as well as a result. I'm hoping next year's are better but I still can't find one I think is a better product at this point. Base layers all seem to have issues at least for me.

Comments about REI Midweight Polartec Power Dry Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:
These are great thermals! I'd recommend them for anyone going through weather in Spring and Fall - not so great for Winter but that's what the heavy ones are for :-) Would rate 4.5 if there were an option.

I used this as a base layer, under my ski pants. They fit well, are comfortable, and provide just enough warmth for my days on the slopes.

Great gear i'll buy a few more pairs down the road, and the price was half of what smartwool and other high end brands cost

I wear these in extreme cold on ski trips; also when temps drop below zero for my commute to work. These bottoms keep you warm. Would not recommend wearing these indoors unless you have the heat turned way down.

too short for a 6 foot tall man with athletic build, but since it is worn under clothes it still works okay

Comments about REI Midweight Polartec Power Dry Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:
I tried wearing these as a base layer under my Marmot uninsulated ski pants. I froze my butt off. I had to put on a thermal base layer and then put these on over. I was skiing in Vermont and the temp. was around 25. They may work OK for spring skiing but they don't provide any insulation on cold days.

I used this on a recent trip to big sky Montana. I've never been warmer on the mountain. I used both the pants and the shirt base layers with only a thin sweater, shell, and snow pants and was completely comfortable in -8 degree weather at +8000ft.

Comments about REI Midweight Polartec Power Dry Long Underwear Bottoms - Men's:
I needed a base layer of some sort for my 17 mile bicycle commute. Since there aren't any temperature ratings listed I decided to try the midweight first.
Yesterday it was 20 degrees F during my morning commute and my legs stayed warm and dry. I wasn't too warm or too cold, they were basically just right. I wore a pair of convertible hiking pants over them for wind dampening purposes.
This morning it was 10 degrees F during my commute and my legs got just a little cold. I wasn't uncomfortably cold, but unlike the previous morning I could definitely feel the cold.
I'm 6'2" tall, 215 lbs, and I typically wear a 36x32 pants. I got the Large size and they seem to be good in length and maybe just a tad loose at the waist, but I tried on the Mediums in-store and they were too small to be comfortable.
Overall, these seem to be good at keeping the moisture away and keeping you warm when it's 10 or so degrees F below freezing. I imagine they would be better at even lower temps with a more substantial outer layer.
