I was waiting for the temperatures to get lower to use these because of how up and down the weather has been. But the wind and cold came and this baselayer set performed amazingly. The silk weight feel is mind boggling to me compared to the cheap cotton long johns I was used to. Definitely worth getting if you prefer light weight and less constricting feel under your already bulkier cold weather gear.
