It doesn't seem to include hip measurements for pants. FWIW, my hips are 35", and I have heattech bottoms and tops in XS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-long-johns#post-1593879 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 16:00:06 +0000 Angie 1593879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uniqlo heattech gets my top vote by far. I just stocked up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-long-johns#post-1593799 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 08:12:00 +0000 Gigi 1593799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>J.J., how does the sizing run for Uniqlo? Is the size chart on their site accurate, do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-long-johns#post-1593659 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 19:55:28 +0000 J.J. 1593659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uniqlo's Heattech Leggings are AMAZING. &nbsp;I just got back from a trip to London. &nbsp;Even though it was cold-ish and wet, I was never cold walking around. &nbsp;And, even more amazing, when I would go INSIDE a museum (coat off, of course), I didn't get hot, despite the base layer of pants and long sleeve shirts. &nbsp;The HEATTECH stuff is magic.</p> <p>Also, Uniqlo leggings are thin and lay flat, so I could easily wear them with skinny jeans. &nbsp;I was very pleasantly surprised.</p> <p>Another benefit: they're inexpensive and there seem to be regular sales, too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-long-johns#post-1593390 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 20:41:13 +0000 Anonymous 1593390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for L.L.

I'm hoping to go to REI tomorrow and see what they have. I will not end up with the cheapest options I'm sure, but I've left it too long to order I think. So REI was a great suggestion!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-long-johns#post-1593031 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 21:18:20 +0000 annagybe 1593031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Patagonia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-long-johns#post-1593019 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 20:00:54 +0000 catseye 1593019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Uniqlo heattech ones.

What you are looking for is sometimes called "base layers" in the more gearish sources.</p> <p>How tall is she?&nbsp;I've liked <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sierratradingpost.com/kenyon-polarskins-base-layer-bottoms-midweight-for-women~p~6106f/?filterString=womens-base-layer-bottoms~d~7462%2F&amp;colorFamily=01">these</a> from Sierra Trading, because they are long enough for me. My inseam is 32, most are just too short. But the review on it got a lot of complaints from people that they were too long. The midweight ones are great, I tried the heavyweight (not linked) and they are a little much for indoors.</p> <p>Silk ones are nice, but tend not to last as long polyester ones. Cabela's lasts as long as the expensive ones from Winter Silks. Smooth is better than textured, for pulling clothes on them easily. Patagonia, SmartWool, etc. are top end brands. REI usually has some if you want to get her something she might be able to exchange in a store.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/best-long-johns#post-1592862 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 01:20:01 +0000 Peri 1592862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sister wants thermal underwear...bottoms, not tops. Yeah, I've lived in the South for 33 years!&nbsp;</p> <p>Which ones are the best? Thin enough to wear under pants but not anything like tights. I mean, don't need to have feet if that makes sense!</p>
