Is the zipper uncomfortable? That is a question we get asked all the time. Luckily, our users unanimously agree; once in motion you won’t feel the difference between a Ziplongs® and regular long underwear. The important and hard parts of the zippers are padded, the rest is constructed so that no plastic from the zipper is touching your skin.

Weight: Ziplongs® wool 3/4 (medium): ca. 200 gram.

Fabric: Merino wool from Lithuanian Utenos,  200 gr/M, 73% wool mixed with polyester and elastane for better durability and wicking capabilities. Wool micron: 18,5.

Dressing with Ziplongs® is dressing in a new way. To help you find which zipper go together we have developed  a set of color codes:
1. Different zip-color for each leg to easily distinguish left from right.
2. Inside waist seam in different color to distinguish up from down.
PS: Check crotch print for additional user directions.

Made in Europe: We manufacture our products in Lithuania. We do this to ensure proximity and quality, as well as to reduce our carbon footprint. In addition to this every component of our wool products are from European manufactures. (Except the raw wool that Pontetorto imports from New Zealand and Australia) European production is not cheap, but you’ll get a product with less logged travel miles and long durability. Please wear until worn out.

The Ziplongs® has a wide area of use:

– Alpine touring
– Ice climbing
– Mountain and cross-country expeditions
– Glacier travel
– X-country skiing
– Hiking
– Sailing
– Commuting.

That is: anything that gets you out in the cold.

How to wash and care for your wool garments

First of all: Once you receive your Ziplongs®, give yourself a chance to try getting them on and off at home before you head out. Getting Ziplongs on for the first time takes a little finesse. Read more about the color codes under technical details.

Better ventilation (see photo): Ziplongs® gives you the opportunity to not only remove the Ziplongs completely, but also to ventilate more efficiently. If your pants have zippers, open the zippers of both the pants and the Ziplongs®, and you have will have a fresh breeze directly on your skin. Once it gets cold; zip up!

If you use Ziplongs® with 3/4 length , make sure you also wear tall socks. That ensures full comfort and no risk of a cold gap between the Ziplongs® and the (short) sock.

For the really cold days, Ziplongs® also works great between your underwear and hard shell as a midlayer.

Finally, a word on our philosophy: People often think that being warm is all about having enough clothes on. That is only half the truth. If your baselayer’s not dry, you’ll get cold no matter how many layers you put on. That’s why the most important aspect of being warm is to be dry. And that’s what Zipwear is all about. Remove your Ziplongs® before you start to sweat, and put it back on when you get cold. Or, have two Ziplongs®. Either way you will be dry, comfortable and safer out in the cold with your Zipwear.
