Decent cheap base layer

[Yoyo]

After riding to work in the cool morning recently, I have noticed that the poor little fella is getting a little bit cold .

Can someone suggest a good base layer, that I can wear all day and not be too bothered about getting burnt or tore whilst at work.

Cheers.

Multiple layers

Thermal T-Shirt, T-Shirt & Textile jacket with thermal layer is what I wear when it gets abit cold out.
However I would recommend long sleeves, I've found leaving one area exposed compromises the entire kit your wearing.
Short sleeves are my weak link & I'm reminded of it after long rides.

I just use heated gear and wear t-shirts.

General gear is:
Bike:-
Duds, combats, leggins, old board boots.
Tshirt, hoodie, winter bike jacket, neck scarf, lid, winter gloves,

Work:
Duds, combats, overalls, boots,
Tshirt, Hoodie, Overalls, Hi Viz, welding hat, skid lid,

So not completely a numpty when it comes to layers, just after something to boost it a bit.

If it is damp I do wear Hi VIz leggins.
But they offer no wind protection apart from being another layer, which get taken off when I get to work.

Primark thermal bottoms.

But apparently Matalan are doing tops and bottoms for £4 each. So I'll be checking that out.

I've got some hiking thermals from a camping shop, £20 for the set, brilliant at keeping you warm, and have a set of the Lidl ones, do the job but not quite as comfy.
Avoid motorcycle specific ones (unless they are REALLY cheap) as they are pretty much the same as cheaper ones

I have just gotten back from Matalan, picked up one of the thermal sweaters as well as a pair of thermal long johns and 'heat holders' socks that someone mentioned in another thread. The trousers and sweaters were £8 each and the socks £6 I think. Trying them on they feel quite warm, especially the socks. I am doing a 70 mile round trip tomorrow so will be able to review how effective they are after

Update?

Maybe it's because I have my own fat duvet, but I never really get cold on the bike.

My commute is 30-35mins, I'm still wearing jeans. I rode home about 30 miles Saturday night at about 23:00.

I had jeans a T-shirt a Hoodie and my jacket without the lining.

Only this week have I put the lining in my jacket on the way to work and I only wear a polo shirt under that. I do have heated grips and handguards.

The only time I'd put my textile on is if I was travelling for more than an hour or it was raining/threatening to rain.

I bought some thermal base layers from ASDA £8 each (leggings/long sleeve shirt)

They're very good!

NEC bike show looming in Nov-Dec I probably won't wear base layers even then as the spada jacket is well warm,not bad for £60 from bmf much warmer than a jacket that is £400 more my Hein gericke explorer.if you ride all year round day in day out you can withstand more temperature highs n lows .
