Are they 100% merino?

What's the GSM?

Mountain warehouse has merino base layers for £25. If the aldi ones aren't 100% then you're probably better off with something else.

Well spotted. They had these in about two years ago and I meant to buy a set then. I'll go take a look tomorrow.

GSM.. grams per square metre?
The ad mentions "wool blend" but are the one in Mountain Warehouse 100% merino?

The long johns I picked up are 100% wool and appear to be a reasonable quality.
