Had no difficulty at a couple of Robert Burns in January with my 5 yd. 16 oz. whole. Make adjustment by going to boxer briefs as they have some leg coverage.

For the record when the Frazer Highlanders over wintered in Quebec city in the later half of the 18th century it was bitterly cold. The nuns from the local
Catholic order noticed their distress and knitted each infantryman appropriate woolen leggings. For those knitters in this forum perhaps there is a solution here.
