 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have been looking for new gear for this coming season and whilst I have previously worn a shell jacket with a fleece underneath, I have never had shell trousers.
What do you wear under shell trousers other than skins which I wear under my insulated ones?

Just thermal base layers, merino out of preference, but I have never been cold in shell trousers, but have been in padded ones. There is the added advantage of unpadded legs for those April days. My Tog24 ones are 6 or 7 years old now and apart from some colour fade are still in fine nick.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

But I needed my base layer under the insulated ones, so surely going to need something else under an insulated pair of trousers?

I have some heavy fleece 3/4 length legging things for when it is really cold; some polyprop leggings which I have cut off to knee length for when it is quite cold and i just wear my pants when it is warm

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Choice of skins, merino wool leggings or nothing, depending on the temperature. I very rarely need to wear two layers underneath the shell pants unless it's properly cold.

Usually nothing.
Well; my boots reach up to my calf and socks to my knee. Factor in some boxers and there's only a foot or so of un-insulated leg. If it's brass monkeys I sometimes put on some lightweight 3/4 length Odlo thermals.

True - its the time on the lifts that is the killer. UNlikely to be a problem when you are boarding.
