May I know when going to winter country ,people always say wear long John inside.actually what means long John ?

Long John is it the winter season inner wear ? Can I buy uniqlo brand that heattech series as winter inner wear long John ? Or anyone here have better recommended place to buy these please?


Please help me , really very tak tahan sejuk...

Don't know about you but I find uniqlo hrattec tak leh pakai. Better buy from universal travel.

Thanks for your sharing ,but may I know why u think tak boleh Pakai ,sebab heattech when you go winter country ,ia tak tahan sejuk ,can't keep warm is it or what others reason?

So you buy yours from universal is it , nice ? Can keep warm? Around how much

Key to withstanding very cold weather is to wear layers. So your base layer can be the heattech, then your interior clothes like maybe shirt and jeans and exterior layer can be a jacket or down coat. Peel them off accordingly when you are in or out. Remember to cover your ears and hands too....

So long John is it means winter season inner wear ?

Wow you so pro... Thanks your opinion too
So uniqlo heat tech is it ok ,normally u buy what long John or inner wear?

Actually don't understand what's the peoples always mention long John ,what's that...

Yes, cotton inner. Usually white. 2 pieces: shirt & pants. Universal traveller would be the easiest place to find those. There is one shop in KL that sells winter clothings much cheaper than UT. But I can't remember the name.

Although from personal experience, I only wear long johns when the temp is below 10 degrees. Because very leceh to put them on. And then when you go indoors, suffer la panas.

Wore it at NZ brrrrrrr. Freaking cold. Ended up wearing other long sleeve inner wear. I find when its cold its colder wearing heattech and when its hot its gets hotter. Like I said maybe it's me.

Long John got different grade for different temp. Go universal and ask. Now they have those synthetic one which cost around 200 but super thin and comfortable unlike conventional Long John.

Some are for spring autumn which can still be pretty cold depending where u going.

So long John means cotton inner long sleeves 1 right?

Normally around how much ? Where you buy

The Kl shop is it near Jln loke yew ,name guo guang!

Uniqlo brand heat tech extra warm can be long John or not?


Thanks so much

What the degree that time you in nz winter period?

August I think. Late Autumn. Around 2-5 in the night.

So the others Long sleeves long john ended up you wear is it buy from universal ,so can keep warm la ,ok noted,thanks mr pro

Omg,not under o degree also make you cold ,so think 1st want buy uniqlo or not

The time I go is - 9 degree ,so scared

Anyone here try uniqlo heat tech extra warm before

If you are well going to travel often I suggest get a good proper long John as it can last you for a long time.
Ear muffs can get from daiso rm.5.30 only. They also sell heat patch. It's quite helpful.

Thanks miss expert
So a good proper long John you buy around how much and where you buy at?

The ear muffs is it normal also can ,right! No need buy expensive 1 lar as you say . Thanks once again

Actually now uniqlo new launch a heat tech extra warm series, but no one comment here

Are you saw my reply

Yes heattech from uniqlo also able to keep heat trapped inside. Long john is long sleeve shirt and long pants designed to trapped your body heat and keep winds from going inside. Uniqlo heattech is decent price and not thick also.

Buy one here and buy the rest in whilst overseas.
It's cheaper there.

Depends on grade. Got mine around 100. Anyway better go ask the shop. Better still I suggest you go and buy overseas. Its much cheaper

Wow you so fast baru Nak Ajak you datang ke sini,you sudahpun tiba

So you try heatech before? Can keep warm in winter country? ( worry ,because upstairs try in nz still feel useless)
Normal long John how much if compare with uniqlo this series!

So now new launch a heat tech extra warm also,but look like nobody try here yet

But oversea currency like nz is high than our rm also
If reach there only buy scared when you walk down the plane already feel cold then habis lar haha

If buy 1 in here then go there no need buy la is it? Not bring 1 set is enough right ,mostly peoples also bring 1 set oversea only

Some more new Zealand currency now is it 3.5?

Sorry I dun really know about long john, but may I asked where in New Zealand you are going? Bcox the bf was there a while ago, auckland and wellington, mostly city area, and he said the weather there wasn't extremely unbearable, and he survived without a winter jacket / long john, just a normal jacket.

Just buy oversea where winter is present. Much much much cheaper there.. got my winter set for like rm300 or rm400..complete inner n outerwear.. if at Universal traveller around rm800-rm1k if not mistaken

It's definitely cheaper there even with the exchange rate. Better quality too. Of coz ubhave to buy the off season one. Like some suggested buy one lousy one here buy the rest there.

Sports Direct sell good quality thermal wear, price is OK too.

Fabric is thin but retains the heat well - tested skiing in Korea.

I don't know why people are discussing New Zealand at this time of year - it's summer down there?

Long jihn = man pantyhose

Also do remember to get proper footwear if you are going to snowing place.

I usually wear them. Can buy easily in Malaysia from those travelling wear shops. Take note. If you are big sized. Better get what you can here. Overseas sometimes dun have your size. I tried long John and jeans ok oledi for even 0c. But need to wear at least 5-6 layers of cloths if you cannot stand cold weather.

Temperature is useless without factoring wind.

Check the windchill factor or sometimes they will write "feels like" xx temperature.

Anyway, your best bet will be some kind of long john be it synthetic material or wool, then a layer of wool clothing , then a water/ wind proof layer.

Don't forget accessory such as winter socks, winter shoes/boots gloves and cap. Sunglasses if you are expecting a lot of outdoor. You will feel as warm as your coldest body part, usually the toes, fingers, face, ears, neck

Oh yea, the above if properly done can last you few hours at minus 15

Yes, heattech is enough for around 0-10°
Buy the extra warm maybe would give better heat
Buy 1 set here than when you go there buy another set or two. If you'll be there for many days, using just 1 set doesn't seem hygiene enough.

Most important to pair with long john or heattech is the windbreaker, if go to windy place you don't have wind breaker your long john or heattech is useless.

clothing at universal traveler is so ugly and expensive.
heat tech is actually enough. wear a knit clothing.
and an outer on top of it.
you dont want to wear too much or you will suffer when you go indoor.
your body produce more heat when you are outdoor but when you go indoor suddenly, its gonna be hell for you.
just be careful with your neck and hand area. if possible, your head too

Uniqlo.

Their Heattech series is really good.

Back in 2005, around rm100++ per set. I don't know about Uniqlo though. Seldom buy their clothes.

Anyway, I agree with those that said better buy there. Just get 1 set of winter clothings here. Sampai sana go shopping. More choice to suit your style, better quality, can be cheaper as well.

Hi in Kl or cheese area where got sports directs outlet ? Thanks

Some one intro the thermal wear there is good also

* sorry is cheras

buy uniqlo and universal travellers

wanlao eh uniqlo heattech doesnt work at all...

last time no online purchase....have to resolve to those winter clothing from Indian shops to bring in...
