Thermals

[aami]

Hello
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good thermal? I've read that Icebreaker merino ones are great, and after checking their website they look good. I'm looking at checking their range at snowgum. I have prev had just poly ones but find they hold too much sweat (I perspire heaps!)
Cheers

Yep, Icebreakers only here. Bit pricey but well worth it.

Everyone raves about the icebreaker.

Personally I don't rate them. I find I still get cold.

I brought a Burton one last year and it's toasty as. Love it.

It all come down to personal choice though.

Besides Icebreaker, another brand to consider is Ibex...they make some rather nice merino wool base layers/thermals as well. +1 uses them and rarely complains of the cold. +1 feels the cold horribly (more then anyone I know) so if she says something is warm is must be

I have the CW-X conditioning wear, which are insulator expert tights - you can get the tops too.

They are great for me as I really sweat it up, but they also are better than skins in that they are insulated.

These are the mens, but I have the womens and they are specific for women - excellent in sizing.

Ski all day and no pain, then back to the slopes for 4 months without problems.

Icebreaker are great if you perspire a lot.

anything poly will hold the sweat and also hold the sweat smell.....if you do sweat a lot you should stick to the ones made out of natural fibres.
I use a merino wool thremal shirt made by dri as a bone...then my jacket...thats plenty. Strangely I use exactly the same overseas in japan and the US
