Anyone else with Cold Junk? (underwear question)

[Ron]

Looking for a underwear for cold blower days with a longer cut and a windproof section for "the boys".

Anyone use the Smartwool PHD Wind blocker, Terramar Wind boxer or the Duluth traders alaskan hardgear boxer? Other suggestions? I will wear these as a base layer.

Never had a problem with “the boys” being cold. But your post made me laugh.

I do have Smartwool base layers, I don’t remember the specifics of the name. They are very comfortable.

Don’t forget to zip the fly on your pants, otherwise it will still be drafty on the boys.

 

[Ron]

thanks, I never thought of zippering my pants. I'll give that a try.

Switch from boxers to briefs? Or just skip that layer all together and get yourself some long underwear. Does it actually ever get cold in Colorado? Always seems like a nice spring day when we are there compared to the local weather

 

[Ron]

LOL, I like a boxer as a base layer with a full-length layer on top. Yes, skiing in 20-30 mph winds in 10 degrees or lower can get chilly.

Heh...

I struggle with my upper half but never have an issue with my lower half getting cold. On coldest days I layer as follows:

• Skin
• REI midweight polartec long underwear

• Mountain Hardwear Effusion Tights

• Patagonia Snowshot Shell Pants

I love Hot Chilly’s most days, but on the coldest days I ski, I use these fleece pants under my ski pants:

They are too thick to go into your boots, so I had them hemmed up to my boot tops, kind of like capri length. Kind of a pain in the ass to get set up, but man they are WAAAAAAARRRRMMMMM!

Hmmm, seem's to me your issue with the upper half is obvious. You have lots of layers mentioned on your lower half that is no issue, yet nothing but skin that extends to the upper half. I'd recommend extending the same layering on your upper half.

I use these. Love them. They've worked on the coldest of days:

I wear exercise pants or shorts down to around 12 degrees depending on the wind, then switch to hot chilies when it's frigid.

Under armour 4.0 bottom layer cut to capri length is warm enough for me under my speed suit when it is -20F. For normal days I wear cw-x stabilyx capris under the suit. For free ski days don't really need to wear anything under my Spyder coach bibs as they are crazy warm and wind proof. Can't imagine anything more miserable than boxers as a base layer. Pretty much guarantees that you can wear anything that fits properly over the top of them.

10 degrees - LOL. That is shorts weather

So many possibilities here, but I’ll refrain.

Have your SO stitch a kanga pouch for a chemical handwarmer.

True.... I'm going with larger surface area needs to be warmed. others may not have this issue ....

GENIUS!

Saxx has their ThermoFlyte base layers. I have a pair of these and will use them under my base layers on the coldest of days. Besides keeping the biys warm, they keep the but warm riding a cold lift.

A man who understands....

UA Coldgear Compression keeps mind snug and warm.

On the really cold days, either skiing or sitting in a duck blind, Under Armor or similar boxer briefs, some light to mid weight longies, then fleece. Cover with ski pants or waders. I ALWAYS make sure the tops are tucked into the bottoms as I can't stand the gap.
