long johns

Thermal base layer

Long johns are close-fitting underwear covering the legs and often the torso, worn for warmth in cold weather.

The term usually refers to the pants portion, though a matching long-sleeved top may be included: Pack your long johns—it's going to be freezing.

Also called thermal underwear or long underwear.
