I get cold in the winter. I am diabetic. I wear them under my clothes all winter long and no longer suffer from the coldness.
from Oklahoma City, OK on 4/21/2008
I really like the material and warmth the product provides. It is very comfortable, however they are slightly larger than anticipated.
from NY, NY on 3/17/2008
Great product. Use as a base layer during active winter sports such as skiing and snowshoeing
from Rochester n.y. on 2/25/2008
Great base layer. Would prefer a little tighter, but they do a great job. I wore just these and a pair of snow pants and was fine while hiking in single digits.

skiing- jacket and ski pant fit and were warm and comfortable
from Bronxville, NY on 2/11/2008
I tried to use this product snow skiing but found the ankles bunched up in my boot. They were great for walking around or snowshoeing.
from Fort Myers, FL on 1/30/2008
I used this on a weekend Florida Trail Hike when the tempatures were in the mid to high 40's (which is cold for Fl). They really kept me warm and cozy. I was the warmest in camp. Worth every penny
from Rockford, MI on 1/28/2008
Stayed perfectly warm snow tubing while wearing these under some BDU pants.
I also wasn't overly warm or overheated while wearing them indoors.
from Homer, NY on 1/22/2008
Sizing should be checked. The matching shirt fit my son great but the pants are WAY to big!
from Rochester, NY on 1/18/2008
I bought the matching top as well. They are great undergarments for downhill skiing, and as leg warmers during my winter runs! I don't think you can beat them for value and quality.
from New York, NY on 1/7/2008
This gear was perfect for keeping me nice and toasty during a long day out in the elements.
from Milford, NH on 1/6/2008
I was looking for a thin but warm layer to use under my hiking pants. I first tried Hot Chillis but their weight, thickness and texture were not comfortable to me, then I discovered these. Micro fleece would be appropriate because they seem to provide as much warmth as the heavier fleece but at a much thinner and lighter wear making them more comfortable for all around use under everything you wear.
I was a bit skeptical at first but then I tried them under my downhill ski pants (shell) and wow, now I have a better solution to moving freely through the deep stuff. No more saggy bulky feeling in your pants when you really start to sweat. Yet you have the warmth and lower body protection you need for the cold ride back up the mountain on the lift.
from Central New Jersey on 1/5/2008
They work great, kept me warm while hiking but didnt get a swampy behind in the warm car !
from Tomahawk, WI on 1/4/2008
Uses for daily walks under jeans.
They are not "scatchy" - feel good against the skin.
Wish they were closed at the ankle (instead of
loose). Lets wind blow up your leg.
from spfld, ma on 1/3/2008
Very comfortable and warm
from Traverse City, MI on 1/3/2008
It's thick and feels really nice.
from Dallas, TX on 1/3/2008
I bought these for my boyfriend for X-mas as he is a mechanic and has to brave the elements to work on vehicles as his shop is not big enough to hold many cars at once. He always complains of the cheap long johns that are scratchy. He wore these yesterday when the temp didn't get above 45F. He absolutely loved them! He says he didn't feel any cold, didn't sweat, and actually wants to try the thicker ones to be even warmer. He didn't even take them off when he got home. He just put shorts on the outside and walked around the house just so until we went to bed. I think he would have slept in them had it not already been toasty in the bedroom. They are a little pricey for my wallet but well worth it. We will definitely order more plus the tops to go with them!
from Hudson Valley, NY on 1/3/2008
Great. The perfect layering for under a pair of jeans or ski pants. Plenty of room and, best of all, the bottom of the legs were not cutting off the circulation in my ankles!
from Boston, MA on 1/2/2008
Bought a couple pairs for snowboarding in Vermont. Fit well, good value, comfortable, used for many days without washing, no odors. A pair of these with snow pants will keep you very warm. Only caveat is that there is slight bit of extra material at the ankles, had to fold over when putting on my boots, which put a little extra pressure in the calf region.
from Pepperell, MA on 11/27/2007
Very comfy, kept me warm and dry in 19 degree temp as my first layer.Wore EMS hiking pants over them and had a pair of fleece as a third layer back up,
Sizing is off though so weren't as snug as I would have liked them.
from Flagstaff, AZ on 11/26/2007
Love this stuff. Used it for a 6 day backpacking trip when the nights got pretty chilly. Stayed warm the whole night.
from Sea Cliff, New York on 11/22/2007
My husband has been using these long underwear in the winter under his clothing for YEARS. The first time he bought them they had the brand name Bergelene. He bought a couple of pair [...] in Nassau County, New York. Mind you, this has to be 20 years ago!!! We decided it was time to get more, so we went online [...], found that Bergelene was renamed Techwick and ordered two pair for him. He is so happy with them and what I like about them is that they do not shrink when put in the clothes dryer. We had seen other long underwear from other manufacturers for more money, but the Techwick is, by far, the absolute best. And, the price cannot be beat.
from Indiana, PA on 11/7/2007
This is a Bergelene replacement, but owning an older set of Bergelene, I don't see why these have 3 seams sewn on the legs as opposed to the one inseam on Bergelene. The material quality is there, but the comfort is not the same.
from Oslo, Norway on 10/19/2007
Used these long underwear as 2nd layer from skin under my drysuit kayaking. Used it last weekend for 2 days of rolling and wet exits (sweaty stuff) and it kept dry the whole time. Much bigger than I expected from the sizing chart.
from Yosemite NTPK, CA on 10/11/2007
These are very comfortable and have so far kept me warm at around 40 degrees at night, but that is the coldest it's been here so far. I think these will be ideal for active winter activities. Though the matching top for these are not as comfortable. They chaff under the arms. Get a size larger for the tops if you get them.
from Ballston Lake, NY on 5/3/2007
meets all expectations
from Mahopac, NY on 3/7/2007
Worked well as 1st layer on winter hikes.
from CT on 2/18/2007
Comfortable. Product as expected
from North Conway New Hampshire on 1/25/2007
Was skeptical at price have always been a old fashioned long john wearer but product proved to be better than I expected
from Sonoma, CA on 1/23/2007
I got these long underwear for my husband for Christmas and he wears them constantly and is thrilled with them. He keeps commenting they they are absolutely the best long underwear he's ever had. He doesn't get to hot in them, and they keep him warm all day. Now the only thing that ever gets cold while he's working are his hands occasionally - instead of his legs.
from Billerica, MA on 1/17/2007
Love the quality when out working in the cold.
from Grand Rapids, MI on 1/17/2007
The Techwick series is great! My husband works outside in the winter, and was impressed with the fit and the wicking capability of the fabric
from GRAND JUNCTION CO on 1/12/2007
AS GOOD AS ANYTHING THAT COSTS 3 TIMES AS MUCH
from New York, NY on 1/8/2007
[...] It is not as durable and not the comparable weight of fabric as the comparable Bergelene that it replaced.
from Mystic, CT on 1/3/2007
I got these about a month ago. Very nice. They definitely keep me warm, but not sweaty. On the trail, they go well under shorts or wind pants and at home, they're cool to just hang out in. I'd recommend. If this was a cooler winter here in New England, they might not be warm enough with just shorts, but they've been great so far!
cheers,
Alex
PS "Low rolling resistance" was a joke.
from katonah ny on 1/3/2007
great for "on the mountain" as well as slogging through the cold, windy Boston streets
from portland, OR on 1/3/2007
great value
from Hudson, NH on 1/2/2007
I'm a bigger guy (baby got back and thighs) - and these actually fit. I have never been able to get a pair - they have always been WAY too tight and tend to get pulled down. These fit great.
from Foxboro, MA on 12/12/2006
comfortable and breathable works well under snowpants or as an underlayer.
from Middleborough, MA on 12/7/2006
We have bought this product for years, starting with winter backpacking. The incrediblely long wearing quality caused my husband to wear them to work during the winter months. Now we are buying them for the next generation. We wouldn't buy anything else!
from Northern Michigan on 11/22/2006
Ripped at the seam. But, very comfortable and breathers real well.
from Staten Island NY on 11/12/2006
this product did meet my expectations as far as keeping me warm dry and comfortable,but after wearing and washing two times the seams around the crotch area split apart.
from Winter is Coming on 11/6/2006
None.
