Looking at purchasing these pants for skiing? Will these be warm enough with just under armor coldgear leggings on underneath?

Yes ot will. I just came back from a ski vacation and it was -10 c and it was ok

Yes. They are slightly lighter than denim jeans, but warmer than traditional cargo/hiking pants. (If in doubt, take a pair of footless tights - but unless it gets into the sub-freezing temps, I don't think you'd need any under layer. )

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.

Although, I have not used these extensively at that temperature. I have walked outside with these pants on in the mornings around 40F and have felt fine. Hope that helps.

These are definitely warm! The lining is very warm and soft - I would say they are the warmest sweatpants that I own. They aren't thermal or anything like that, but great for lounging and warmer than the knit-type sweatpants that I have from VS and some other comparable places. Hope this helps.

I don't think it would work out very well (unless your pants are loose fitting the whole way down). You'd be better off wrapping it over top the pants - otherwise I've found it gets to be very cold on the skin.

Just waterproof shell pants. You'll need a heavy layer underneath for winter

Yes, they would fit under pants as long as the legs were quite "roomy". Skinny jeans won't work for putting these underneath them.

Not as warm but if you put on a sweater and undershirt it will keep you nicely. If you are outside alot in 20 degree weather you would need to put on an extra layer for sure. I bought a polar fleece hood that I wear with my coat and if I have that on I am just perfect with warmth. the hood is really just a wind, snow and rain blocker. My other down coat had a very warm hood and I did miss that warmth, but when I started wearing the fleece hood I know longer missed it and I could see more easily.

No, they're a lightweight, durable hiking/climbing pant. Tights or long underware under them makes them a good bet for the shoulder seasons.

Being from Florida I am not tolerate of cold at all. If you live in a cold water region you might be more accustomed to the chill. But for me these pants work fine until temps drop to 65-68 degrees. I also like the coverage from wind and stinging things. Hope this helps.

No they would not be warm enough for biking in below zero temps. That's not what they were made for. They are meant to retain water so one may keep their body temperature more easily. If you want something to handle very cold water, you want something thicker or made for that kind of thing. These are more for mildly cold and warm water. If you want to bike in below zero temps then just buy winter gloves or something.

I have not yet had a chance to test drive these particular pants, though I am working on it. That said, these are nylon. I hear that before Underarmor invented wicking sportswear fabric, nylon was terrible stuff. I even believe it, as I had a horrible nylon sweater that would make me sweat in negative temps. However, nylon and polyester and other synthetic fabrics are in most athletic clothes, and they are both comfy and breathable, as well as quickly wicking away moisture. (And, in the case, moisture is sweat from hiking.)

only shell pants. to wear in cold weather you would need to buy a few sizes larger and wear underclothes.

Yes - I wear these under snow boarding pants. The only time I have had it slip down was when I did not clamp it down very well. They may not be as stable as a knee pad that slips over you leg (ie, big elastic tube with a knee pad), but you can tighten these down pretty well. The only downside to the straps, is that they can rub if set too tight - the straps are approx 1/2 inch nylon and do not have any padding.

I suppose that would depend on what kind of conditions you're skiing in. I've only skied here in Michigan, and I would be sweating in these. I would put these on the low end of "low to medium activity." Great for outdoor work like cutting wood where you're not really moving around a lot.

I purchased these pants and gave them as a gift, therefore they are not physically in my home. I recommend you do as I did when I was considering these and go to the Columbia website and reference their size chart. You should have good luck that way. I can tell you that the recipient absolutely LOVES these, we live in MI and have had over 90" of snow!
