I'm loking for a one piece fleece, top to feet suit. Found a few on line, mostly for paddling stuff. Any one have any esperance with these? looking for a big middle layer. I'm pretty cold natuered. Thanks...
Not sure about a 1 piece, but I have some of the Terramar Geo Fleece Expedition weight pants and they are super warm. Great price on them at Campmor too...

I had a one piece when I was a kid that went from my feet on up. Loved 'em. Hated when I out grew them. Wish they made these for adults!

They do but they are wool.

Those are missing the "feet" part. Gotta cover from neck to toes! :-)

AKA footie pajamas or "fart sack" for their total coverage and ability to trap gas.

I googled "union suit with feet." Other options might be out there.

Too bad it's 65% cotton.
Here's a better blend:

A wool/nylon blend Union suit like Veteran found will keep you nice and toasty when active with the addition of just a light outer layer. I used to wear one all the time when I used to do a lot of serious outdoor winter stuff in temps often 10 or 20 below.

It's a COTTON/wool/nylon blend. Mostly cotton. Did your union suit have such a high fraction of cotton too?

Oh - I didn't check the specs. Lets see, the label on mine says "outer layer 70% polyester, 30 % wool, inner layer 100% Polypropylene" The plypro inter layer kept it from being ichy. Made by Helly-Hansen LIFA Wonder if thier still around?
I also have a union suit made of capaline, but I don't think its as warm as the polyester/wool bend one.
I like the blends on your union suits much better.

I googled Helly-Hansen and they are still making active wear outdoor clothes, but no longer have union suits. Pitty. G-Walk, they do have a pair of mid weight fleece pants which might be good. (and all kinds of top)
Check under drysuit liners, I've seen them in all types of wieghts and materials, I've got a set with no feet of thermax that works great wet or dry only problem is it works to well and I have overheating problems unless it is real cold out(<15F)

rdljr reminded me that full thermal suits exists for motorcyclists. Afaik, all of them are synthetic.
