Nutshell: wonderfully warm base layer for 40-45 F temps
For size reference, Iâm 5â3â, generally wear Small / size 2 or 4 depending on brand, style, etc. Bought a S in this and it fit fine. Definitely not ultra snug, rather pretty loose. At first I was really disappointed, thinking that as a base layer it was supposed to be like 2nd skin, and considered returning it but didnât have time before leaving for a trip in a couple days. In the end, Iâm happy about the fit. I think an XS wouldâve felt too constrictive and the waistband definitely too uncomfortably snug. I had no trouble slipping on some jeans (regular/straight fit, not skinny leg or anything) or some rather thick/heavy-weight leggings over these – although I had to do a little tugging and pulling on these bottoms when trying to slide the leggings on to get the bottoms to stay in the proper position.The material is extremely thin, like hosiery. I wondered how it could possibly do its job of keeping me warm but it did its job to the fullest. Plus although it may have the appearance and thinness of hosiery, fortunately it FEELS nothing like hosiery. I wouldnât have been able to tolerate that feel. But these bottoms are wicked soft and smooth, not at all scratchy or having that wire scouring-pad feel of hosiery. I also really liked that this was thin enough to take up very little space for packing as we were trying to travel light.Iâm really glad I decided to keep it. The bottoms turned out to be fantastic for a cold weather vacation, worn as a base layer. I was happy as a clam wearing them almost every day during a 9-day trip in 40-45 F temps. Iâve always lived in balmy FL and have no clue how to dress properly for cold weather, but staying warm was a big deal for me to be able to enjoy the trip so I was really putting a lot of confidence in this article of clothing and it actually came through! Itâs only a base layer – and a lightweight one at that – so to reiterate, naturally I had jeans or heavy leggings over it but honestly I think it was the base layer that made all the difference in being able to stay warm. Iâm thrilled that it worked out.FYI I ordered the matching top (Terramar Women’s Thermasilk Pointelle Scoop neck) with the same satisfactory result, as well as a MIDweight base layer set (32Degrees Women’s Heat Thermal top and bottoms) for the slightly cooler days (30-40 F).

Perfect Paired with Wool Leggings
I chose these because the reviews stated that the fabric is very sheer and thin. Perfect for my needs! On a winter trip to northern Finland I wore alpaca leggings and these Thermasilks were the perfect barrier to avoid any itching or scratchiness from the alpaca fibers and to provide an extra layer for warmth. You don’t even know you’re wearing them. I’m sensitive to tight elastic waist bands and these were very comfortable. I traveled with a carryon and backpack and these Thermasilks took up VERY little space in the suitcase. Very happy!

Reliable soft thin base layer holds in warmth when it’s frigid out (or cold indoors)
A decade ago and more we used to have real winters around NYC where in Jan and Feb temps would drop below 25 often, and sometimes even get to 10 or below 5f esp at night. If you worked outside or travelled outside often you needed these to be comfortable. This year I had a hunch we’d be hit with a sharp cold spell at some point and I’d need these.. luckily my gut was right. 3 weeks after ordering the temp drop hit and I was prepared! This has been my go to brand forever since they’re soft, tough, keep warmth in, are well designed and affordable. They can last a few seasons if you care for them properly.

Very light . Perfect for everyday winter weather
The sheerness does create the potential for snags. No runs or rips yet after 1 month use almost everyday.Easy to rinse out and hang to dry. Dries overnight.

Terrific thermal layer
These have been my every day thermal layer during the winter for about 15 years. They are super thin silk that does a great job wicking and managing temp. Iâve had to replace them every 3-5 years or so, which seems very reasonable. (they get holes after extensive wear and cleaning.) theyâve doubled in price in the past 5 years unfortunately, but still a great deal and great quality.

Any thinner and and you could strain soup through them
Let me be upfront with this first opinion: “Base layer” silk underwear is a crock. It’s also a rip-off, IMO. $50-60 for something that I’m honestly afraid to wash because I’d expect them to dissolve in the water. But since I can’t buy any others this time of year, apparently, I went ahead and gave in.I use silk long-johns to sleep in. My Reynaud’s has crept up over the years and now involves my lower legs as well as my feet. Even using an electric blanket year-round (with my AC set no higher than 70 because my face is always hot … an uncommon but annoying and uncomfortable flip side to Reynaud’s, I’ve learned), my feet and legs are usually cold in bed.These did help keep my lower body warmer, but how long they will hold up? How long before a seam tears out, because the fabric is so thin and delicate?I really miss what I used to be able to buy: heavy silk long-johns, not polyester, not fleece, not cotton on the inside. Just well-made, heavy silk LJ, that don’t cost a fortune. Used to at least be able to buy at a good discount after winter, but don’t even find those deals at 3D stores or their online sites. And most that look/sound heavier, almost always come as a set with a long-sleeved top … which I don’t need and don’t want to pay for.One final note: I recently also purchased a pair of Lands End LJ, sold here on Amazon. I ordered according to the table of measurements. They are about 2 sizes too big. When I wanted to exchange, none will be available for almost a YEAR!!! Can’t return, can’t exchange. Couldn’t buy directly from the company either.Because of the size disparity, I ordered these the size I learned I needed in the other LJ (Lands End). They fit just about right, though they are a little long in the crotch and the waist is just a tiny bit tight. I am about 5’7″, 185 pounds these days, and a bit short-waisted. I wear a 16 or 18 jeans or slacks, the 16 if there is any stretch in the fabric.I’m glad I’ve now got one pair for bed again but I won’t buy another unless on sale. I’m used to paying a premium for almost everything sold by Amazon. I consider it like going to a convenience store (7-11, for example) for milk or feminine hygiene products needed in a pinch; you pay for that convenience. But the price for any and all of these so-called “base layer” silk long-johns really does seem exhorbitant.

Super light weight but delightfully warm
My wife started with a top and liked it so much that I got her the bottom, which she also loves.

These got a run in them within the month I bought them. They could use a little more stretch to the fabric.I would size up to avoid them running.

These base layers are well made, warm, soft and comfortable. I practically lived in them when it was cold outside, washed them often according to the label parameters, and theyâve held up very well.One thing to know is silk doesnât retain warmth if it gets wet, so wear your merino under rain gear or for heavy exertion.Otherwise, these are totally perfect.
Bernadet –
Absolutely wonderful. They are so soft and so light they go under my jeans without adding any bulk. I could tell that I was warmer wearing this then without. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Es ligero de llevar bajo los pantalones. Pero no dio la calidad térmica que requeria
