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 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.

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 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.

All depends on your level of comfort. I am not affected by the cold much, but as far as I can tell, they are better than polyesters....lol

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.

They probably wouldn't be too warm, but I would personally choose lighter pants if it was that warm (I live in Michigan - 50 degrees feels warm outside to me!). I wear these sweatpants outside to jog or walk when it's 30-40 degrees, but my body temp heats up by jogging. After you wash these a few times, they sort of lose a tiny bit of the fuzz inside, but I still love them. If it's 30 degrees or colder, I'll wear these + some running tights underneath. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question! If it's 50-60 degrees outside and I wear these pants, I'd probably wear a short sleeve shirt as long as it's sunny.

they worked for a prior snowboarding partner who is about 5.4 and 110. so it'll prob work for you too. If nothing else, you could wear them OVER your pants and they'll work for sure.

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.

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

Probably. They fit well under most pants. Worth a little bulge for the protection.

these are not cold weather gloves, they're designed for hand protection/ shooting, protection from the elements was not in their design, yet perspiration will be expelled through material unless it's over 90 degrees, then your SOL

No zippers on sides, just above knees only. Pants are not overly tight , but I always take boots off. Following the advice of another review I suggest you order a size larger in the waist.I usually where a 36 waist , but where 38 waist for these. They are made with light but very durable material.

I'm an EMT in South Carolina. As far as these types of pants go, they are alright in the heat... they are much more lightweight than some. However, none of them breathe particularly well. I have to wear dark blue ones, maybe a lighter color pant would be cooler.

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!

You would need to wear something under them. There are meant as a waterproof outer layer only ( in my opinion)
