long-johns

Winter base layer

Long johns are a type of warm underwear with long legs, typically worn as a base layer in cold weather.

The full set includes both a long-sleeved top and fitted pants, though the term often refers specifically to the bottoms.

Made from cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, they fit snugly against the skin to trap body heat.

I always pack long johns for winter camping trips.
