[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use this and the upper layer of this for work in winter. It has literally changed my life. Spent years buying all kinds of different warming layers to stay warm at work during winter as im in and out of cold for extended periods. These layers are not only comfortable but they actually work as advertised. Youll not regret purchasing this and would recommend the upper layer as well. Upper layer is my favorite by far.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this as a baselayer for ice climbing to go under my softshell or hardshell pants depending on conditions. The fit is quite slim and form fitting which is great for layering and freedom of movement. The fly access is a convenient touch that I really like. My only gripe would be that the ankle openings are a bit tight
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tights are a huge step up from previous years. They are super comfortable and being 6'1 fit great, with the inseam length is longer now. Just ordered another pair in blue! Only downside is that tag says to hand wash, but newer front load washing machines with hand wash setting or gentle cycle seems to work well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wore these under lightly insulated snowpants (without any pants between the two) and was very comfortable and warm in some very cold ski conditions. These things are the real deal in terms of quality of construction. I expect they will last as long as I do! (maybe longer)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these to use as a base layer when skiing. The fabric is pretty thin - and overall, I like it. It wicks moisture well. They're comfortable. The only negative is that the fabric is a bit "stiff." Its almost like it can stretch in two of three directions.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these to replace a pair I already had that got a rip in them. These are a great base layer for spring or you'll have to use a mid layer if you don't have insulated pants.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the for backcountry skiing and the resort. They move well and are comfortable. These breathe better than "normal" ski base layers. Would recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Summit series tights are part of my perfect layering routine. I love everything in the Summit Series. It wears wear and functions to perfection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are perfect for layering underneath shorts for a nice pre workout outfit the material is nice and breathable and is very comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pair of base layer pants are great. Keep you warm but not too hot and sweaty. Stylish, you can wear them under a pair of shorts.
