Got these to replace a pair of 5 year old base layer bottoms, wanted to try something new. They’re tighter than your usual long johns (which I’m okay with) but very thin fabric, more like tights which I thought would be fine. Warm enough as a base layer on a 5 degree day sledding but on the first time worn, I got a “run” in the fabric as you would with a pair of tights. I do not think these are high quality, not worth the money and not really a base layer but definitely not tights either. I am considering trying to return them (but now with the run they can’t be resold and that’s a lot to just “throw away” — might just wear them into the ground as it probably won’t take long for them to become unusable anyway)
Though I liked the fit on these right away, I found that they are scratchy on the skin after wearing for more than a few hours. I wanted to really like them but this isn't a great attribute to a base layer!
Warm but itchy at the waistband. Whatever is used for the waist stitching is so so so spikey and irritating to skin
Bought these as a light base layer for back country skiing. Perfect- until the elastic around the waistband started to fray, making them itchy and uncomfortable. Unlike my other TNF gear, this piece didn’t make it 2 years. Great while they lasted, but disappointed in quality.
