Wearing long johns today for the first time in my adult life. Verdict: Warm, not too constricting (if you know what I mean), would be very comfortable if they weren't so damn itchy. Much better than dancer's tights for cutting the cold, which was my previous solution. It isn't really cold today -- I wanted to take them for a test drive on a day where I could remove them if I needed to without freezing my bits off.

What kind of material are they?

Wool/poly blend.

Definitely warm. I generally use silk or mid-weight synthetic (Patagonia Capilene 1 or 2, I believe) when I need long underwear, specifically to avoid itchiness. That said, I don't spend that much time outdoors -- this is just to make sure I don't freeze on my way to the subway.
