Arethese over pants? Will they protect in sub-zero weather?

No you would definitely have to wear some long johns underneath to stay warm. They are comfortable but under 30 degrees you will be cold if outside for anytime.

I bought them for hiking and paragliding in summer. Feel a bit light for colder temperatures, but very tough fabric. Maybe with respective long underwear and depending on circumstances (wind chill, still air, humidity etc.) you could use them in freezing conditions. My 2 cents :-)

You could use them over a pair of thermals; they do seem to offer a bit of wind resistance/repellency. If you're going to do this maybe get one waist size up; they do not run small and there is room in the legs but the waist only stretches so much and thermals often go higher up the abdomen. Oh, and there is enough room around the cuff for a good-sized boot. Cheers!

I wore the Propper lightweight men's pants when I was working in 30-90 degree (mountains) Fahrenheit weather. Ideally they are comfortable in the spring and fall (50-80 degree F). If you are going to wear them in constant cold weather (close to or below freezing) I would wear thermals underneath to provide protection from the elements.

Yes. I had the same question. Under pants no problem. Under a shirt it may get tight depending on the shirt. I actually wear them under my jeans,and hoodies and shirts. They are quite a solid product in terms of fit. The fit like a glove and don't feet heavy under you take them off if that makes sense. I would recommend them. i had my doubts but I've been very satisfied Hope that helps.

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

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

Dont know about sizing; but you might want to consider a full bike pants for cold weather instead of these. I find mine tend to ride down my thighs when I am riding

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

They were a gift for my son who lives where it doesn't get terribly cold. I wear Smartwool socks when hiking, and in cold weather (colder than 30 degrees) I wear them with thinsulate lined boots.

They are water proof shell pants. Thin. Kind of a tight fit. Might work layered over sweats or fleece.

Relaxed to slim, depending on what you wear underneath. It's snow pants...not going to be super slim.

These pants are NOT good in warm weather ! They are good for wet !!!Not many brands of pants are really waterproof , these are...You need to buy different pants just for hot weather .

I have not worn them in lower than 40F. Between 50 an 60F, the pants are great! between 40 and 50F, it depends on how long I'm outside in them for, the longer I'm outside in them (more than 2 hrs), the longer I need to thaw out when I get home. Now, to put things in perspective, I live in NC where it does not get super cold like the Midwest, so the slightest cold bothers me. Hope this has helped.

Yes/No. Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material. No: These are shorts, with a breathable material. Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

No, no no. However, I've been wearing these pants for years. I put on a BASE LAYER underneath (Icebreaker merino wool to be exact) underneath. Skied all day in this combo and was plenty warm.

I have the duty pants and they aren't that low. I can't stand low riding pants, but these seem to keep me covered whenever I squat or bend over. I wear mine about an inch below my belly button (im 6 foot and have a pretty long torso though). Hope this helps!

I have always worn this under my ski pants. The shock doctor has adjustability with the straps so I am confident it could be worn over thin material.

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

NO! They are way too thin for that. They will help, and will keep the wind off, but anything cooler than 65 and you will be cold. You CAN use them as a layer. It takes a little work, but under my 3/2 they work fine.
