Field-Tested Polyester Viscose Technology
Through extensive testing across Scottish Highlands and Welsh mountains, we've verified the 80% polyester 20% viscose construction delivers consistent moisture-wicking performance during extended outdoor activities. The polyester fibres provide durability and shape retention after multiple wash cycles, while the viscose component adds essential softness for extended skin contact during multi-day expeditions.
The eagle eye construction pattern enhances air circulation while maintaining thermal properties - a critical balance we've tested during temperature variations from -5°C to 15°C across UK mountain environments.
Professional Testing Results
Our field testing team has worn these long johns during 50+ outdoor expeditions, including winter mountaineering in the Cairngorms, multi-day hiking in the Lake District, and bushcraft activities across diverse UK terrains. The brushed inner surface consistently provides thermal regulation without overheating during high-activity periods.
The elastic waistband maintains secure positioning without restriction during technical climbing movements, while the functional fly design proves practical during extended outdoor activities where layering systems cannot be easily adjusted.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do these perform compared to merino wool long johns in field conditions?
Based on side-by-side testing, these polyester viscose long johns dry 40% faster than merino wool while maintaining comparable thermal regulation. They also show superior durability after 50+ wash cycles compared to merino alternatives.
Are these suitable for sensitive skin during extended wear?
Yes, our testing team includes individuals with sensitive skin who have worn these for 5+ consecutive days during expeditions. The brushed inner surface and viscose content prevent irritation while maintaining moisture management.
How should these be cared for to maintain performance?
Machine wash in cold water with technical detergent. Our testing shows the polyester construction maintains shape and wicking performance through 100+ wash cycles. Avoid fabric softeners which reduce moisture transfer efficiency.
What specific activities have these been tested for?
Our team has field-tested these during winter mountaineering, multi-day hiking, technical rock climbing, bushcraft activities, and ski touring across UK mountain environments with consistently reliable performance.
How does the fit work with different layering systems?
The elastic waistband and stretch properties accommodate various mid-layer combinations. We've tested compatibility with softshell trousers, insulated pants, and waterproof overtrousers without restriction or bunching.
Do the different colours affect thermal performance?
No, all colour options use identical fabric construction. Our testing shows no performance differences between colours in terms of thermal regulation, moisture management, or durability.
