Ordered the one piece union suit (long underwear) - 50% wool, 40% cotton,and 10% nylon. Absolutely love it. I primarily got it for sleeping and lounging around the house in the evenings relaxing before bed. I initially ordered one, and will probably order a couple more just to have around and keep packed in a weekend or overnight bag, and one with my camping gear. I live in the Northern Panhandle of Idaho... chilly!
I have used every type of base layer imaginable. Now I know why the old loggers and workmen of days gone by chose this design. The combo of wool/cotton/nylon breathes very well. To me, this is key. I can stay out all day in sub zero temps and be very comfortable. Even during high exertion (snowshoeing/ shoveling roofs) I'm able to perfectly vent this piece. I never write reviews and I'm thrilled about this piece. Great job L.L Bean.
I just ordered my fourth pair. I bet the first is twenty years old. Three pairs just get me from one laundry day to the next. Now I'll have a pair to wear while the others are in the wash.
I am 6ft and 195 lbs. The size medium fits well. (I dont like things baggy or loose) Great base layer. I have worn this under jeans and a flannel shirt and I dont even notice that its there.
