Thermal kit

Thermal kit
I have a wide variety of clothing that I have bought and tried over the years. My favourite jacket is an old camoflage jacket with a waterproof inner coat. The problem I have is I need to wear a sweater or something under it for winter use although my legs and feet usually end up the coldest part of me anyway unless I wear several pairs of socks.

I've been thinking of trying some new thermal wear but never tried it yet. Is it any good? What is the best type to be looking at? Do they come as complete outfits?

RE: Thermal kit
Thermal (long) underwear is pretty cheap and reasonaly effective.
It's used a lot by skiers but despite it being used by cowboys most men thinks it's 'soft' to wear long underwear.
It's certainly worth having a couple of pairs in your preperations as central heating for our homes will be one of the things we all miss and even if you have wood or other heating it's probable that in a 'bad scenario' we don't dare use it for the first winter until after the big die-off.

RE: Thermal kit
Thermal or base layers as they are known, can be picked up very cheaply in stores like Go outdoors, snow and rock. Millets, Blacks e.t.c.
I wear them under my snowboarding clothes when I pop off to the alps over christmas and hit the slopes. the temperature at the top of a mountain in the middle of winter can be minus 20 or lower and I find that these base layers are more than enough when worn under a snowboarding jacket to keep me warm.
Like all things you get what you pay for, although even the cheap ones are good enough for an English winter.
as with most clothes you can pick up a good bargain in the sales, for boarding/skiing stuff this is usualy around March/April when the season is closing down in europe.

I have a couple of sets of Helly Hansens. I have 2 pairs of leggings but several in different styles of their tops from the T-shirt type to long arm ones. Keep an eye out for offers from Go Outdoors, Blacks and Amazon.
