These pants I would prefer never to take off again !!! I'd prefer they start even at night ... Super pleasant material, not a bit stiff or so. In practice, the range control is by Velcro. So you can draw a pair of tights underneath, without it being just above then. But without tights, so only stockings is a dream. The interior is something of soft ... It also holds great warm and the wind has no chance! I have already the third of these pants ...
