If your loved one is always cold, they likely have many, many sweaters, hats, and vests, but not many insulated pants. For some reason, many of us walk in multiple layers on our core and none on our shaking, goosebumped legs. I have a few options that your loved one might like. The Payette Pants from Wild Rye are made from recycled polyester and insulated with Primaloft. The loose, relaxed fit looks very fashionable, especially when worn with the cropped, matching cut Payette sweater. Wild Rye caters to female mountain bikers who have a wide range of body types. The waist is elasticated, and although the legs are very long, they also have drawstring cuffs so you can shorten them or tuck them into boots.
If you’re not ready to start wearing a padded pajama set everywhere you go (I am), Snow Peak is for you. quilted trousers which are more tailored and look a little more like regular pants, and I also like the Eddie Bauer ones fleece lined jeans. Or they could cut out the footbox a sleeping bag and just walk around like that. Any stormy port, as they say.
