I've also found that the lightweight spandex type long johns help out against ticks.

I always take a pair of running tights with me when tripping, but usually as an extra "warm" layer rather than as tick protection. The kind made from high-tech fabric designed to wick moisture away from your body are worth the extra investment, imo.

I have had good experiences buying this kind of stuff from   (You need to Login or Register . You can often find some really good deals if you filter for "closeout" stock and aren't too picky about a specific brand name or color.

Iirc, many years ago, one of the first Super Bowls was held outdoors in Minneapolis. At least one of the teams was outfitted in XXXL pantyhose for warmth, so you could go this route too with minimal investment.
