Review on Men's Thermal Underwear, Long Johns Set with Fleece Lined Base Layer Top and Bottom by Doug Hook

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Heavy and uncomfortable

The fabric feels comfortable and stretchy, but soon after putting them on I noticed some discomfort. Excessive stitching on everything creates what appears to be grip zones. Some may assume that this is a support. I do not like it. It's intrusive and uncomfortable. They were very heavy and caused a dead hand under my armpits. That feeling when you hold the ball between your arm and upper body for too long and trigger that unpleasant tingling sensation? It looked like. I could get away with pants but the top was too uncomfortable to wear during the day. Only at night I wouldn't throw it away so quickly if I wear it where my movements are not as dynamic as during the day. I would also like to try them on again when the weather drops below freezing. They made me sweat at 50 and all I could think about was wearing them as they would behave in the arctic regions. They are thick and heavy. The heaviest thermal I've tried so far, and it stretches! I mean the amazing extensibility that happens to them! I think I should have ordered a large, not an X-Large. I think the overstitching really ruined the sleeves. I give them three stars except for the complaints and overstitching which accounts for some of these complaints. Plus for the thermal properties and how they warmed me.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Transparency
