Bamboo long johns
Bamboo long johns, also called long underwear, are a thin layer you put on under your trousers when it is cold. Here you will find black bamboo long johns from Resteröds. They are made from bamboo, which makes them soft, breathable, temperature regulating and moisture wicking. This means they keep you warm when you stand still, without leaving you clammy when you move.
When long johns make sense
Long john underwear is not just for the ski holiday. Many people wear them on cold winter days under jeans or work trousers, for outdoor work, hunting, football matches and long walks, or when cycling to work in frosty weather. In short, whenever your legs get cold and an extra pair of trousers would be too much. Read more in the post on when you need another layer.
A thin layer under your trousers
A good pair of long johns should be so comfortable that you forget you are wearing them. Bamboo is soft against the skin and lets moisture escape, so your legs do not get clammy when you go from the cold into a warm car or office. The black colour keeps them discreet if a trouser hem rides up a little. One pair of long johns covers most needs, but many people buy two, so there is always a pair ready when the other is in the wash. Get more tips in long johns as a layer under trousers.
Sizes
The long johns from Resteröds come in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL. It is a good idea to choose the size you usually wear in underwear from the same brand. If you are between two sizes, the smaller one is often best, so they do not slide down or bag at the knees.
Build a full base layer
If you want to keep your whole body warm, you can combine long johns with a bamboo undershirt for men. Together they give a thin, soft thermal layer from neck to ankle that can take a jacket or a jumper on top. For your feet we have a large range of bamboo socks for men, and to see more products from the same brand, go to Resteröds.
Long johns or regular underwear
Regular underwear only covers the hips, while long johns go all the way down to the ankles. Many men keep a pair of long johns for the coldest days and wear their regular bamboo boxers and briefs for men the rest of the year. You can wear regular underwear under long johns if you prefer.
