I am presuming most thermals out there are of a simmilar quality and price, before I start looking anyone got any recommendations?

I will be after them for upper body, legs, gloves and head.

Thanks in advance.

Skiing superstores are the place to go for thermals. They are usually really thin but warm and allow easy movement. A lot cheaper than the stuff they sell for on bikes.

Army surplus shops do some good kit too, don't know what I'd do without my swedish army, towelling lined, long-johns.

I always thought they were Norwegian army stuff. I have a couple of the roll-neck shirts with the towelling lining and they are well toasty on the bike. Thumbs Up

I wear JOCKEY thermals, been wearing that brand for years and
they are comfy.

I have bought new thermals for this winter because the old pairs
are getting a bit too tight due to constant washing. Tried a different
brand this year, bought them ONLINE from https://www.tooled-up.com/
and those are thicker and better than jockey.

I used to get Jockey from M&S but couldn't get them this year.

If you don't have that much available chuck as much on your torso as possible. If you keep your upper body warm the rest of the body should stay relatively warm. I usually wear a T-shirt, Honda Fleece and my textile jacket with winter lining to keep out the cold. Thumbs Up

I'm also wearing a fleece, it's a very lightweight one, that and a
polo shirt (just that bit better than a t-shirt) and my textile jacket.
If really cold, two thin t-shirts.

Thanks for replies, anyone ever used materials that protect against cold and heat? If they work well for winter and summer I'd go for them instead.

Well if you get a textile jacket, they usually come with an inner lining that can be taken out in the summer, I then wear a T shirt under this and it is still cool. Smile

Magic. £6 with £1.50 postage.

Oxford inner gloves with free Akito balaclava.

I've just bought a pair, there's only 2 hrs to go though on that auction. You can buy them at that price from
