Would these work good as long underwear (base layer) for winter hiking/backpacking??

They are thin enough and compression leggings, but not sure they bring warmth other than them being another layer. The compression will help with the hiking and may keep you from getting cold just because it is another layer of clothing.

These have great compressive abilities, but I did not feel any significant thermal impact when I wore it. It does keep warm, but it was not noticeable enough for me to consider it that type of tight. Have you considered the SKINS S400/200 Women's Thermal Compression Long Tights ?

They are thin and flexible enough to be a base layer, but this model is not warm. I think Skins makes a thermal model, but I don't know how thin they are.

The thermal ones would, but I would be too hot. I think a smart wool would work better. Michigan winter. Depends on your intensity of workout

Depends on boots, if good boots and enough room a thinner inner pair covered by hiking socks will keep your feet warmer

I am not sure as that would have more substance to it. However they do fit tight just like underwear so it may be able to hold up. You could possibly buy a small pack or email the manufacturer & see if they offer samples. I hope this helps. Vicki

They are a great quality set of underwear. They do feel snug to me and don't loose the stretch. I would try a set.

Probably OKill for those. Depends so much on what you want them for. If hiking with them pick a pod based on weight is my advice.

These are intended for running so I'm not sure how how they'd work for hiking.

They seem to fall at your natural waist which feels a little high but is still very comfortable. I'd be afraid that a lower rise would make you more prone to get snow someplace you don't want it.

I bought these pants in the summer and they have done well on cool mornings until fall. I would not consider them winter pants. I have been camping with them and put them on in the morning and that was ok. It really depends a lot on your personal preferences.

I suspect so. I use these gloves for paintball war games. In theory, they'll work well for hunting and/or hiking.

Probably better than warm packy snow. Should work well. I am very eased with them

These will probably work just fine. I would only suggest letting them air out for a bit. I feel like products like these can have a plastic/disinfectant smell for a while. I doubt you want your winter wear taking that on.

I use them for pre- and post-season driving in my convertible. I've had no trouble with cold seeping in - including highway speeds in low 40 temps. Unsure if using them in true frigid weather would keep you warm enough - but then again, layering is always best.

I don't know about the medium but....on my large (i'm 5'9/195), I wear layers and have no problems at all. The large fits really big on me and I've worn: base layers for top/bottom (thermal/underarmor, fishing pants, socks pullover zip and rain jacket. Still....i've got manuverability. As I stated earlier, this is a larger size though. IMO, I think you'll be fine. I hope this helps.

It depends on what you hike on. Hard pack in the ADK's they will work fine. Not make for deep unpacked snow.

Yes they are long enough and make great undershirts. They do cling tight to your body.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

I have medium length (one length). I think it will also work well with layers.
