"I really like these. I've worn them twice and both times perfect temp. The bottom openings are a little tight but I'm hoping they'll stretch out a bit after repeated use."

Artic Circle No Match For and the other KUIU articles
"A week in Greenland during its winter will quickly determine whether clothes advertised "for frigid conditions" measure up, and these under my gale force bib and jacket definitely proved their value. I don't pretend to understand the technology, but I do understand that I was subjected to temps and wind chills that put these articles to the extreme test and did they ever succeed in keeping me warm and dry. Driving an ATV across a frozen lake, at top speed, I never felt cold. In summary, I would highly recommend these, as well as the other articles referenced in this review"
Fleece bottom
"Excellent quality."
