Särmä Merino Wool Long Johns
As the weather gets cold and nasty, so do cotton undergarments. The answer is to switch to merino wool. These have a nice, snug fit for best functionality. We had these made in Lithuania just for us.

Our merino wool long johns are fairly standard type, with non-chafing seams, long enough legs, and form fit. For those concerned, these don't itch either, but rather form a second skin. No fly, so you have to lower the waist to pee. This means they work better for women too.
- 100% merino wool.
- Weight 180 g/m2 / 5.3 oz/yd2.
- 19.5 micron.
- Wool wash at 40° Celsius / 104° F.
These are moisture-wicking, dry fast and are self-rinsing. They are also machine-washable, but washing is usually unnecessary - wool cleans itself. Don't leave them in a wet lump after washing. Reshape them gently while still damp. When not in use, air them out and give them a good shake after that. You only need to wash the clothes if you see stains or they start to smell really bad. This usually requires lots of continuous use without airing. Of course these being long johns, it's probably wise to wash them quite often, if not only out of principle.
Size info
Sizes given first the usual way, then with more intricate measurements of the user. Please note that in undergarments like this the sizing is very forgiving; these will easily fit shorter and taller people up to 190 cm (6' 3") and beyond. For a tighter fit, you can choose a smaller size than you would normally use.

It fits nicely and absolutely no itching.
About size, as a 186cm/82kg Male with kinda solid hips I'll ordered a XL but I could easily fit in a Large as well.
But with sizing and buying pants online I prefer better safe than sorry ;)
When they are back on stock I definitely order a few more in L size

I own the balaclava, long johns and long sleeve and wear them daily for about 9 hours 6 days a week in all sorts of nasty weather.
The merino products are not overly warm so that you are sweating and not at all bulky. It's simply well mad and will keep the chills out while allowing movement and pack-ability.
