Cheapo Thermals/Base Layer

Merino wool is my favorite for base layers. Problem is: Icebreaker is really expensive. Sites like steapandcheap.com and tramdock.com really help out! :)

I'm with you on that, silk every time

Does silk stockings count :wink:

Are we still talking about ski wear here or something totally different?

You must have heard that before thermals became very popular people wore stockings or tights to keep warm 8)

I bought cheapo thermals t shirts and bottoms in Primark, £2.50 each bargain.
Trouble is, I get too hot in them.

I have never worn thermals, I just don't feel the cold :oops:

Wicko me auld mucka, we have a frighteningly similar outlook on this mountain ting, be it the cold or sock habits. Don't tell me that breakfast is all about as much orange juice and coffee you can consume, whilst forcing a lite bite down the hatch. Queues are a good oppportunity to reflect on the stupidity of humanity, and anything that involves not going downhill fast is a waste of life?

Not too keen on the Oj but strong coffee and may be a nice jam , can't start the day with out it 8)

Porridge and a fry up before you venture out, every time. Unless I have a steaming hangover.

Yoghurt and fruit followed by a full fry up for us.

You'll be on the bog all morning after that
