Woolpower Ullfrotte Original Long Johns with Fly - 400g - Green

  1 of 9

  Bought for heat retention while out in the British winter, worn next to skin with waterproof leggings over the top they, are warm and comfortable. I used to buy cheaper thermals thinking they were all the same, they are not, I won't make that mistake again. These Merino wool products are expensive and I wondered whether the Woolpower garments would be worth the outlay, all I was looking for was to stay warm and dry on cold days, they do it very well. I'm very pleased with all the clothing I've purchased from Ray Mears Bushcraft. They are worth the money but I must be honest and report that I have two places in the crutch of my long johns where the fabric is beginning to separate after only three weeks of wearing. Nobody sees them, their underwear, but disappointing all the same.

  As someone who is intolerant of wool, I can't wear these garments next to my skin. However, they are just fine and work superbly over my existing base layers . For this reason I would recommend these as a mid layer (rather than the 200g Ullfrotte base layers) for anyone who is sensitive to wool. Wonderfully warm but thin enough to layer under another mid layer or to enhance the insulation of a sleeping bag. A great addition to my kit, which takes up very little space. Thank you Woodlore for making these available in the UK.

  I do a lot of birding and photography so there is a lot of standing around in the cold. These are a denser weave than the 200g (which are excellent in themselves). I have medium 200g which are a great fit so I went for medium in the 400g and found them a bit tighter around the quads. However, despite the tight fit they are exceptionally warm as under trousers and the tightness has not restricted movement to date. They are noticeably warmer than the 200g so are best used in very cold conditions. Excellent construction and a quality feel to them as expected. Recommended highly.

  I'm about a 37 or 38 inch waist. I ordered a size Medium (32 to 40 inch waist) thinking the Long Johns would be about correct for me. However, they are WAY too small for me and I cannot get in them. They don't expand and will never be used. I have ordered a size Large in the 200g and they fit perfectly and are a wool long john to be proud of! I suppose down the line when I can afford them, I will order another pair of 400g Long Johns in a size X Large or XX Large to wear over the 200g for colder weather.

  I have short (32') big legs, and take a medium. These are super; far better than the man-made fibre alternatives. Soft, comfortable, warm, non-smelly. They fit over the 200g perfectly.
