I believe they would work well for skiing, they are thicker than standard thermal underwear, without being bulky. I think the activity statement pertains to construction or building trades.

This doesn't zip inside the parka, it's meant to be worn as the layer right underneath. It's a high-quality fleece - under a ecws parka it'll keep you warm.

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 am a mom, 5'6" in stature & wear my Patagonia wool long johns under this article. I was dry & warm while skiing out west last spring! Enjoy!

No, they are good to wear over a base layer that is thin yet Insulating. Jeans would be too bulky and too much for the waist unless you go up a size.

In the gym, I just wear the hotpants or capris but I have worn them under sweatpants when I have been out shovelling snow (lots of snow!!) and I've been fine then. When I workout in the gym, my body doesn't feel any hotter - just the Zaggoras are soaking wet on the inside when I'm done. I don't know if this is any help to you, but I would give it a try - I really like mine.

I would not recommend for cold weather. The reason we bought them is they zip together and wife and I could zip them together and sleep like in double bed. Zipper is a bit weak but overall a decent price and worked for us...

Dont know about sizing; but you might want to consider a full bike pants for cold weather instead of these. I find mine tend to ride down my thighs when I am riding

It really depends on the pants. I've worn them under sweatpants, but I think jeans would be tight.

I tried with jeans is alright. Insulated pants will be quite tight. Btw the size indicated here is bigger den usual. I order US 10 ended return n change to US 9. Im wearing a US 10 north face hiking boots size. Hope this help

Yes - I wear these under snow boarding pants. The only time I have had it slip down was when I did not clamp it down very well. They may not be as stable as a knee pad that slips over you leg (ie, big elastic tube with a knee pad), but you can tighten these down pretty well. The only downside to the straps, is that they can rub if set too tight - the straps are approx 1/2 inch nylon and do not have any padding.

No they would not be warm enough for biking in below zero temps. That's not what they were made for. They are meant to retain water so one may keep their body temperature more easily. If you want something to handle very cold water, you want something thicker or made for that kind of thing. These are more for mildly cold and warm water. If you want to bike in below zero temps then just buy winter gloves or something.

If very cold, no. Just not warm enough. I feel you need something that is fleece inside and out to stay warm enough. Having camped in very, very, icy weather in Colorado mountains, I'd suggest a fleece pant. These aren't that warm and the air will go through the knit.

No you would definitely have to wear some long johns underneath to stay warm. They are comfortable but under 30 degrees you will be cold if outside for anytime.

I would just have a fleece single layer on these. I would not put anything thicker as the heat from these have to penetrate through whatever you put on there.
