2(X)IST Tartan
Whether you call them thermal underwear or long johns – nicknamed for the 19th-century heavyweight boxer John L. Sullivan who wore similar-looking garments in the ring – there are days when you need a double-layer against the cold. Be ready with the 2(X)IST Tartan collection of separates in red, black, or white that include well-fitted long johns and long-sleeve Henley’s.

Frank Dandy Cavaleras
If you like to stand out – even in your skivvies – Frank Dandy’s your man. The Cavaleras long john features a detailed skull pattern in various shapes and colors on a grey background – festive and fitting for at-home scary-movie screenings in the dead of winter. The comfortable red jacquard microfiber waistband is embellished with a repeated Frank Dandy logo in light blue, and it has a bit of give just in case you stuff your face with too many munchies.

C-IN2 Prime
For long johns that perform as well on the slopes as under the sheets, C-IN2 has the market on lock. Its Prime collection is made with a soft cotton-modal fabric for a lightweight, body-warming, breathable undergarment that maintains its shape and support no matter your extracurricular activities. C-IN2 Prime long underwear also features a slim-fitting leg, allowing the johns to be worn under pants without adding extra bulk. Colors include violet, navy, hemp, grey, and red.

Proskins ACTIVE Compression
Proskins ACTIVE Compression leggings and long-sleeve crew tops aren’t long underwear in the traditional sense – there’s no easy-access front flap and they’re not made of cotton – but what they lack in old school style is compensated by performance design. Made from an innovative tech yarn, Proskins are light, smooth and aerodynamic, which reduces muscle fatigue and enables quicker recovery after cold-weather workouts. Whether you’re flying down the Black Diamond or going for a jog around your ‘hood, Proskins will keep you covered and cozy.

N2N Bodywear Campfire Cropped
To stand out in style even in underwear, N2N delivers the Bodywear Campfire Cropped long john with a comfortable athletic fit and leg that stops just below the knee. This collection is designed for warmer weather – like those chilly nights in the desert – but the lightweight waffle-weave cotton stays breathable and absorbent to keep dry as the temperature rises. This cropped long john also features a low rise, perfect for studs packin’ heat, and a small N2N logo tab on the front waistband.
