In many ways Merino is the highest quality option, tending to really drive the price up–it has the unfortunate consequence of also being among the least durable of the fabrics. The name “long john” is supposedly a reference to the late 18th century heavyweight boxing legend John L. Sullivan, who favored wearing them in the ring.

You can’t go wrong with the Icebreakers for this. The more affordable option for a durable and active outdoor need will also be satisfied by the Base Force long underwear by Carhartt. But as noted the latter aren’t as warm. Long johns and base layer bottoms are generally only used when a shirt or top isn’t enough to get the job done. As such, warmth may be one of the factors that you want to highlight, as opposed to emphasizing breathability or moisture regulation. Both fabric weight and material are going to impact the warmth of your thermal underwear. Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, you’ll discover a mixture of t-shirts and bottoms. These include long and short-sleeve thermal tops, alongside full-length bottoms, which are tight at the ankle for extra comfort. And let’s not forget fleece tops and bottoms for when it gets extra cold outside. Warm in winter Similar to lightweight thermal underwear they’re more subject to wear and tear from time and the occasional snag.On the extreme end of both ends of the spectrum, you have outliers that cater to more specialty applications. Featherweight base layers are almost exclusively used for distance runners in need of something to keep off late year chill and biting winds, but still keep them dry and unencumbered. How much you want to invest in a pair of long johns is mainly concerned with the kinds of things that you’ll be doing in them. Unless you’re planning on doing some mountaineering or are an avid cold-weather sports enthusiast, there’s no reason to empty your wallet over a pair of tech-specced long johns. Long underwear, colloquially known as “long johns” are the bottom component of what is now referred to as a “base layer”.

Concerns regarding outside temperature, in some ways, are still guided by how you’re exerting yourself. You tend to be much more resilient to the cold if you’re working hard, and likely to cool off considerably as soon as you stop charging. These concerns aside, there’s no doubt that the demands you put on your gear scale consistently with how cold it is outside. The Härkila Heat Long Johns are a pair of long underpants with built-in heating membranes that can be set to exactly the temperature you desire. This makes them an excellent choice for a wide range of hunting and outdoor activities in the cold weather. Note that the power-bank needed to heat these Long Johns is sold separately. Silk is a little anachronistic compared to some of the flashy and fine tuned options that you see on this list, but it still has the advantage of being just about the most comfortable next-to-skin layer you can find. It’s also reasonably warm and odor-resistant. But that’s where most of the appeal stops- outside of use as a sleep layer there are much more practical and affordable options in synthetics. Pros Cotton is not an acceptable material to use for any kind of strenuous outdoor activity, when wet it loses its insulative properties and actually makes you colder as the material chills. However, for those in search of a cheap and warm pair of long johns to wear around the cabin or at most shoveling a few inches of snow off of the driveway, it can provide a means of staying warm without investing much more than you’d pay for a cotton t-shirt. Pros If ever something was made for winter, it was thermals. If the thought of stepping outside fills you with dread, even when you’re wearing a coat, thermals are the answer. Put them on over your underwear, and then layer your clothes on top for a day filled with warmth, comfort and joy.
