    I really do not get this wearing long johns under shorts, of course they will be rooted after the first trip.
    If its cold wear pants not bloody shorts and if its really cold wear your long johns under pants!

    I chuckle to myself everytime i see striped polyprop long johns peeking out from between massive gaters and a pair of shorts.
    You look like pippy long stockings and have all but covered up your legs anyway so why not just wear some pants!

    The reason I do it, and most others is probably a regional thing. If you hunt around here river crossings are a fact of life, you need something that will keep you warm, and dry quicklt after wading a stream. Pants don't compare

    Spent the last few nights wading ball deep across a channel every ten minutes in my hunting pants. Cant possibly see how it would be warmer in shorts and tights sorry.

    Merinos dry far quicker than pants once you get out
