I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the heat tech products from UNIQLO? I was thinking of getting some of their leggings to wear in the winter time but they seem a bit thin. Do the heat tech items live up to their claim? How do they compare to the fleece lined leggings?

Thanks!~

My wife swore by them so I bought a few of their long sleeved undershirts. I have noticed no difference between wearing one and wearing a normal long sleeved cotton shirt. She said she wears two at a time though so that might have an effect.

I personally don't think they are worth the money but my wife does. So, now you have to choose which one to believe, me or her.

Thanks for sharing. I searched on Google but everyone who was using them was layering them, so thanks for sharing your experience with just wearing one (exactly what I was looking for).

I wear some heat tech tights when I go running and I love them. They work really well, IMO.

i also own quite a bit of heattech. it's great for cold weather in low temperatures but when it gets windy you might have to layer it.

The shirts are a lot better than the tights, in my opinion. The shirts are worth the money, but stick with the fleece-lined tights.

Thanks for sharing!~

I pretty much live in skirts and dresses but I also do not like feeling cold...guess I will just stock up on those fleece lined tights:)

Don't waste time and money on anything from here. Made that mistake in the past. You need things with polartec or thinsulate in them. Just order them from LL Bean. They ship to Korea. (But you have to request UPS for fast shipping. Otherwise, you'll be waiting a month to get them.)

Read the user comments below each item. I find them to be accurate. Otherwise, the sizing is accurate. But, if you're from a pure Metric country, you'll have to measure yourself and convert to inches.

Heattech is cheap. Like 15,000-20,000w.

For the price, I think they are great.

i like the socks, but notice no difference in the shirts to be honest.
