My student digs were so cold I bought longjohns, and have worn them under my jeans on all cold days since. They are cosy to sleep in, and I am happy to lounge around without my pants on indoors which some of my fellow undergrads also do. I do wear regular underpants under, them, so i can get 2 or 3 days wear before washing. Just a couple of questions – do other guys find they do slip down during prolonged use, even if the waistband starts out tight, and should i tuck them into my socks? I should just add that I do not wear white longjohns when i am not wearing pants over them, as that did cause a few comments. Dark blue, grey or black are best.Haven’t seen red ones in UK – they would just be awesome.

DP – Shouldn’t that be “off with stripper clothes”?

Geewits – That’s exactly how I feel. Sometimes at the end of the day I can barely make it through the door before tearing off all my clothes and slipping on the big, loose stuff.

Pinklea – I think after a lot of discussion on this post, this is the ultimate answer – running away to somewhere warm. To hell with the longjohns and the snowpants. For the money we spend on winter gear, we could just move south for 6 months.

CP – Very true. I often feel strangulated by hugs, too. It has to be just the right person with the right hug and for a specified amount of time.

Cedar – You are soooooo retarded. But I’m laughing out loud for the first time this morning, so thanks.

DP – Hurrah for Velcro! But then it gets all that lint in it and become unreliable. Essentially what you’re saying is that we should all be wearing stripper clothes that can just be ripped off in one dazzling move, right?

Lost – Ya, we’ve got a similar geography. I see no reason at all why you can’t answer the door to the paper boy in your long johns. Now, if Antonio Banderas comes knocking you might want to slip those thermals right off.

this is coming from a geography which has to live with
2 degree in winter and 45 degree in summer.

i was thinking of a petition 2 get long underwear
promoted 2 other clothes category. So that when the
newspaper guy knocks the door don’t have to run to
wear a skirt over the perfectly fine ‘pants’.

peeing isn’t something i ever mess around with, and i don’t like extra clothes either, too confining i guess. snaps or velcro are the way to go i think.

Layers is definitely the way to go… I can see where a one-piece item would be challenging in the pee department, but the layers I wear are two pieces and non-restricting. They are made of some kind of super-thin, high-tech, voodoo material.

I don’t find them to be strangulating, but then again, one person’s straight-jacket is another person’s hug. :p

Even I have long johns! I have been so very happy to have them this winter! (To be truthful, I bought them for a trip to Québec last February. I was so afraid I would die from the cold there, but those long johns turned out to do the trick perfectly. Also I wore snow pants over top my jeans.) Mine are polypropylene and are really quite thin, and although it feels weird at first to have them under a pair of fitted jeans, I soon forget about them and just bask in the warmth. And mine are pretty peelable for pee breaks. I rarely wear the matching top, though, because it has long sleeves. I find that a tank top underneath my sweater works better for me. Still – I’d rather be in Cuba that wearing long johns. Florida, Mexico, or Hawaii would also do.
