These are a great base layer for playing in the snow, bumming around the house on cold winter days, sleepwear for camping. My kids love them and I always buy a size up so they can grow into them.
Great quality & great price! I’m 5 feet tall (adult woman) and these are perfect! Not only do they keep you warm, but they are super lightweight
My daughter wore these bottoms this holiday season while skiing in Whitefish! While it was not as cold as we've experienced in the past there, this proved to be a fantastic base layer and something I hope will last her through next season! I would expect her to wear these bottoms even while playing in the snow, toobing or even if it gets cold here in the Bay Area under a pair of jeans.
Bought these for a few camping trips. Wasn’t expecting to use them as pajamas, but they kept me quite warm. When it was frosty in the morning, they acted as a base layer underneath my hiking pants and sweatshirt and I was quite comfortable while many were still complaining about the cold. I love them so much I bought a second pair!
Light weight long johns. Nice fabric. Good deal for the price.
Nice wicking option for under snowpants. Sizing up to a 10/12 for my long-limbed 8 year old, hoping they might last two seasons.
These are THE BEST!! I am a small adult and I bought these on clearance for evenings in the tent because they are light and packable but still warm and I was not disappointed. These are my go-to sleeping pants and if it's cold they also go nicely as a base layer. The fit could not be more perfect for me. I am 5'4" and 105 lbs and purchased the youth XL. My only wish is that I bought several more pair at the time. Get these!
Great base layer and loungewear. Didn’t realize it was a children’s XL. Super deal on clearance.
