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.

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.

It really depends on the pants. I've worn them under sweatpants, but I think jeans would be tight.

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.

I bought them specifically as some "cheap" snow pants. We were visiting family in Chicago, and were going to go sledding. we were only out for an hour, and they didn't really keep snow out, especially the pockets, which means your top layer doesn't keep you dry and I would expect you'd eventually get cold. They worked short term, but I wouldn't use them to ski

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.

yes, they can get pretty toasty in there. i only wear them to walk to work in the morning as there is dew all over the grass & gets my feet & pants wet & they seem to be fine. but i have worn them out to check on my garden & they definitely keep your feet warm.

There should be. I wore a pair of wool socks for warmth and comfort because I didn't have neoprene socks with me. My socks got wet, but my feet weren't as cold as they would have been without them on a very windy and cold canoe trip.

I wear pants with a 36 waist. I bought a medium. I wore them over a base layer and cargo pants but under snow pants. The fit was perfect. It was nice and snug which for me meant that it wouldn't shift a lot while snowboarding.

I use them for pre- and post-season driving in my convertible. I've had no trouble with cold seeping in - including highway speeds in low 40 temps. Unsure if using them in true frigid weather would keep you warm enough - but then again, layering is always best.

They will help, but are maybe not thick enough for serious thermal protection. Excellent, though, for keeping road-salt and ice from paws. 3rd winter, 2nd pair.

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.

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

I believe, yes, in hot weath climate in works like Forestguard, but isn't the ideal, this may work well but..., I sugesst to you Propper but 100% cotton ripstop BDU's pants, P.D. I'm in Colombia, I work in field, wet forest and cloud forest, I know wath I say.

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 have wore them and they are light and will dry right away wind resistant yes but not for cold wind.

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.
