Long Underwear

if the weather is going to be below 35F i bring my long johns. i only wear them when i go to sleep though as part of my sleeping system. but then sometimes i'll wear them like sweat pants if i plan on stopping any longer than a few minutes. to me it depends on how cold a sleeper you are. aloha!

I used to bring long underwear on every trip and use it under my rain gear (which doubled as wind gear) when cold. Now, I think it only makes sense for a small temperature window. If it is warm enough, I can get by with just rain pants. If it is colder, I use my Cocoon Pants, which are much warmer. They are lighter than almost any long underwear. I'm sure other folks take the same approach with similar pants.
