Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hi,
I've just purchased A pro shell gortex trousers from Salomon.
What do you wear as layers underneath them. I've always worn padded & insulated pants
Thanks

Welcome to
, for me it depends on the weather when it is cold I wear the M&S Merino mix thermal long johns as suggested a few posts down. If it is a bit warmer a lighter pair of long johns and in spring usually just the shell.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

CW-X Stabilyx Insulator 3/4 tights. Or Smartwool long johns. Either, always keep me toasty.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I wear 3/4 (down to top of boots) baselayer from Aldi (£3) under my Norrona Lofoten trousers. for really cold weather I'd double up on those over a pair of HH long's.

I just use a set of merino thermals under my shell, if it's really cold I've got some fleecy trousers but have never needed to wear them yet!
