Cut a bit shorter than traditional models, the Ibex Men's 3/4 Johns Long Underwear is ideal for those wearing tall ski, snowboard, and mountaineering boots. The cuff is mid-calf instead of down near the feet, reducing bulk around the ankle and lower calf. The itch-free merino wool is soft, naturally stretchy, and offers antimicrobial odor control.
great for downhill skiing
Under my ski boots, I only want my ski socks; no cuffs from the bottom of long underwear. So I always had to pull my full length long underwear up to just below my knees and bunch the excess material along my thighs. The 3/4 length does the trick. I have a very thin pair fom another brand for warmer weather, but they do not have a fly. The Ibex are perfect; mid-weight for warmth while skiing down to zero degrees, a fly, and 3/4 length for ease of use with ski socks.
Great for many Activities
These 3/4 johns are an answer to prayer. I have a short stocky build and if I get the right waist size, long johns are too long for me. I also have sensitive skin. Ibex solved both problems with their 3/4 length johns. Now I can wear them as a base layer when cycling, snowshoeing, and winter photography. I do not end up with extra material stuffed in my shoes.
