black thermal leggings recs
hey all,
so there's a truly ridiculous number of black thermal leggings on the market.
the type you wear under your shorts for the gym or because you really want to wear shorts in winter
anyone got any brands they swear by?
some requirements:
smooth, cool hand feel
opaque black
breathable

Patagonia capilene mid weight.
is it just the pic or does the black have a noticeable honeycomb
I don't wear leggings, but my closet has slowly been invaded by Ridge wool undershirts for winter layering. I imagine the quality remains high for their leggings as they are for their tops
I like my Icebreaker merino leggings. Also consider Point6 merino leggings due to the lifetime warranty, though I only have experience with their socks.
thanks for all the recs so far - i should specifiy that I'm looking for plain black, as close to 0 branding externally as possible
the point6 ones look perfect but of course out of stock in my size lol
Dang, it's probably because they just had a 60% off sale
yea the price lookin real compelling too
def merino / wool blends appeal to me over poly
Check your local Sierra store, they usually stock some merino base layers and socks for reasonable prices.
I like Janji tights for winter, it's not thermal as in fleece lined or anything like that though.
the ones I have don't have a honeycomb but it definitely looks like the current model on their website does.
