Recommendations for light, warm, very comfortable women's long underwear?

My ancient cuddle duds (sams carries now) and the Costco 32 degree ones have been fine for skiing, but I’d order a bunch and try them on under your intended clothes. They all fit so differently.

Interesting that silk has lost out to other fibers/blends. That has been my family’s go-to for years (especially for the especially sensitive family members).

Some of the reasons for it slipping include cost (good quality silk is pricier than tech fiber) and care (silk may be a tiny bit more fiddly than tech fiber for some people.) I'd also wager that tech fibers have really improved in the past 10 years alone, making them ultralightweight and comfortable for more people. I remember older tech fabrics that didn't perform the way I needed, so I defaulted to silk instead!

This is really helpful, thank you to everyone. I ordered a couple pairs of smart wool long underwear and I think I might try some of my older son’s LE underwear (I believe they have some wool in them) that he uses for skiing. We are about the same size and he probably won’t be using them the same time I will. I wish we had a Costco nearby. There have been so many Costco products that you all have recommended that I’ve wished we had access to over the years. The closest costco is over and hour away for us so we don’t have a membership.

Thank you, omom, for explaining how to use them. It makes sense to switch out of sweaty ones and into dry for sleeping. I wouldn’t have thought if that (I probably would have brought pajamas). I haven’t done any winter camping since I was in high school and even then it was car camping and my parents handled all the details. So this is all new. I’ll try out the ones I’ve ordered and Ds’s and see if I need more or different.

Thanks again for the responses!

I would check Woolx. I just have some leggings and tanks but love them. My mind has been blown by how amazing wool is….I was clueless until this year. And now I have a nice little wool capsule.

I love Patagonia’s capilene, but I don’t know how technical it is. I wear lands end for my morning workout in all the weather that Chicago can bring. I love them, but again, not sure how technical. Can you call moosejaw? Or rei?
