For those who spend a lot of time outdoors in winter, wool long johns are often the difference between being comfortable and freezing. The thighs are a large surface area; if you lose warmth there, you quickly lose it from your whole body. A good long-legged base layer solves this without making it harder to move.
Lanullva's men's wool long johns are knitted in merino wool using the airy method Brit Vinje Lyngstad developed for her Eilif. The extra air pockets mean that the garment both insulates and breathes; you do not freeze at the hunting stand, and you do not get sweaty on the way up a forest slope. The stretch in the wool follows your movements, so the long johns never feel tight when you bend down or kneel.
The garment is worn under work trousers, ski touring trousers, suit trousers at a winter wedding, or alone as pyjamas at the cabin. For those who are at sea, it is a good second layer that keeps the thighs warm even in damp conditions.
The long johns are OEKO-TEX Standard 100-certified. They smell less than synthetics, dry faster, and can be worn several days in a row without washing. When they are washed, use a wool cycle and lay them flat to dry; the garment will last for many seasons.
