Are tights a suitable wicking layer

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if tights would be a good alternative to thermals when skiing

If its cold I wear both but I find thermals much warmer and cosier and less uncomfortable or likely to fall down and get irritating!

Not that I have any experience of wearing tights, honestly :lol: .
The seams at the toe migtht be unconfortable if they line up with the seams on your socks. Worth doing a trial run first maybe.

I had to think carefully before replying to this thread.

When I was a child - I was always given children's tights to wear to go skiinig.

And I've always worn thick woolen tights since. I did try wearing Long Johns, but I found that the bottoms of the long johns would bunch up and cause blisters on my shins.

I think that it's the totally sensible under garment to wear for skiing.

Sure - I get my wife to go shopping for me even though there's nothing 'sexual' about it - you can imagine that a sales assistant would jump to the wrong conclusion.

Having said all that, it's essential to ensure that you get thick woolen tights which are warm. Anything else is just not worth it.
