Good Winter Pants on Top of Thermals?

I have a type of polar fleece pants, 'Altica' I think, from Kathmandu on one of their 50% off sales. I wear thermals under them and they're very warm.

Mark.

I buy fine merino wool thermals and outer layers - 'Icebreaker' brand is a favourite, made in NZ. There's quite a large range available which you could probably find on the net. They make socks, caps and other accessories as well.

They are expensive but wash and wear very well, are quick drying, can be worn day after day, and are guaranteed 'anti stink'. Also very lightweight.
Kathmandu also have similar garments.

A mate of mine uses the Thomas cook jeans when hes riding his motorcycle and hes very happy with them, I use a top to toe pack when camping and a camo set when hunting and Im happy with them.

Polar fleece or good woolen socks for the feet and a windproof shell pants over the legs will help keep you warm. Dont for get as your body coolds it redirects blood from your extremities ie feet and hands to your core to maintain body temp, so something decent on you head and body will also help with the cold feet

I have no affiliation with either of the above web sites / manufactures other than happy with the product etc.

Generally find if it only getting down to zero at night and warm during the day, I just wear a pair of track suit pants under my baggy jeans.
Take off the trackies about mid morning, otherwise my legs get too hot during the day.
The trackies go back on about 6 to 7 pm under the jeans.
I like to wear a jacket that covers the bum and comes down to the top of the thighs if cool (but not cold) and windy during the day.
Wear thermals or similar under the jeans when under 0 and getting down to -10 at night and day temps in the single figures (plus or minus).

Found my new gortex and leather based hiking boots great for warmth. And they wick any moisture away.

At work, if I am sometimes working in the freezers (can be down to -20 to -30C), that's when I wear thermals and padded trousers. But then we are only allowed in the freezers for 20 mins max at any one time. :o) That Qld sun warms you up pretty quickly too.

Cheap pair of fleecy tracky daks from Lowes !!

I wear moleskins, get 3x the life from them compared to jeans, an much warmer.
Use explorer socks, and rossi boots.

Also used army disposals wool pants, great when out spotlighting in the freezing cold too, and at 20 bucks, you cant beat them for value.

We use snow ski pants and Possum fur socks. These come from N.Z. where they are a pest.
