Hot Chillys Micro-Elite XT Men's Tight

The Hot Chillys Micro-Elite XT Men's Tight is a “heavy” weight single face stretch base layer that can also be used as a mid layer. Pause to re-read that because this is an unusual feature in a “baselayer” and a layering technique common in Scandinavia, but almost never deployed here. These pants are tailored with an active fit, which leaves enough room under them for a pair of lighter baselayers, giving you impressive flexibility to tailor your layering to the weather. These men's base layer tights are the perfect choice for when it's really cold and layering is a must, but can also be worn on their own when your lighter baselayer isn’t enough, but the nuclear option of two pairs is too much. The smooth face makes these thermal tights easy to slide into shells or insulated pants and are opaque, with an UPF 40 protection rating for spring bike rides or cold weather runs. Designed for layering these have no fly, for a smooth front face with no added seams, and a gusset for easy movement without pinching. If you’re between sizes or pushing the limits of your size and you want the flexibility to layer, size up for comfortably adding a light baselayer under these tights.
