Greeted this morning with a hard frost and have been meaning to get some decent one,s for a set trousers and t shirt budget around £100 for the par any suggestions.

PS is there a difference between thermals and base layers or is it just a posh way of saying it

They’re same really mate, I’ve heard the Marino wool ones are supposed to be quite good, been thinking of getting a new set of thermals myself so if you find anything good let me know 👍🏻

I suppose technically 'Base Layer' could apply to a wicking type garment, T shirt perhaps, worn in the summer, so not necessarily thermals. Even in Winter a base layer doesn't have to be thermal, it could silk or even be cotton...:eek:..then everyone will shout at you and tell you that you will certainly die...:D

I chicken out and just say thermal base layer...that confuses the experts....:lol:

At the moment I'm quite impressed with some stuff from Aldi. It was sold as 'Thermal' for Motorcyclists, I think it's about 60% wool and keeps me warm. Any colour you like, as long as it's black...:D
 
Nice one Med, let us know how you go. Those winnings burning a hole then.... 😂
I'd be exactly the same.
