grahamch Posted December 4, 2018 Any recommendations for a thermal top? My Merino top is now worn out and needs replacing. TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno22rf Posted December 4, 2018 As a life long Captain Frosty I think I have tried most of them but it's the cheap ones in places like B&M that seem to work best - until you tumble dry them. This year I have discovered the Champion padded shirt (around £16 on the Bay) works great with a quilted top - reckon I could sleep in the freezer with this on - bottom's are fleece lined women's leggings ( let the laughter commence) at around a fiver again on the Bay - really warm but ,most likely, not as warm as the heat generated by your red face if you were rushed into A&E.

Longstrider Posted December 10, 2018 If you feel the cold treat yourself to a couple of Norgies I have to wait until it's well below freezing to wear mine coz I sweat my whotsits off otherwise. https://www.amazon.co.uk/GENUINE-BRITISH-ARMY-Thermal-Norgie/dp/B00G0TNA70 Buy them oversized so there's plenty to tuck into your trousers, wear a jumper over the top, and whatever jacket you'd normally wear to keep the breeze off. You'll be warm as toast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Go to a Golf shop or club Pro and look at Galvin Green, Under Armour or Ivanhoe base wear. Large choice, not cheap but superbly functional. That good that you don't feel yourself wearing them. Edited December 15, 2018 by das Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joejoe Posted December 15, 2018 Aldi do 100% merino wool for about £15 sometimes. I have a Rab on too which is pretty good. Costco polyester ones are ok for the price. Norgi is good for wildfowling with a thin on underneath and a jacket on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
panoma1 Posted December 15, 2018 Dunno about thermal tops etc, but as an under jacket, mid layer (Over a normal shirt) I use a 100% wool Swanndri Ranger Shirt on the marsh......superb, wonderfully warm bit of kit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scully Posted December 16, 2018 For beating ( when we're either sweating off our trossocks or standing in the cold ) I've been wearing a HH top underneath a micro thin fleece and Laksen jacket, and that's it for the top half. Toasty warm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
