Wetsuits, Drysuits & Undersuits: Discuss Thermal Base Layer in the Dive Kit and Equipment forums: I've been looking into alternative base layers as diving ones seems ludicrously expensive. Has anyone tried anything like this? http://www.blacks.co.uk/cgi-bin/blac...1146543&28S&29...

HH do a version of this that has 36% wool. Its great I have used it for diving and wandering around Alaska in the winter.

One other advantage is that it doesn't start to stink after its been worn for a day unlike 100% synthetic.

Try this site. Cheap as chips and warm as toast.

My local Decathlon are doing 100% man-made thermals for £7.99 for a top and £7.99 for a bottom. They're very nice and warm and don't get clammy.

I wear them under my weezle at about this time of the year until March / April-ish and I'm lovely and warm.

Laters,
Janos

As well as. Otherwise I would have nipples like Scammel wheel nuts.

If you've got a Wilkinson's store nearby they are doing 100% man made thermals for £6 a set I wore a set on Saturday under my thinsulate, was toasty and just as important they didn't hold the sweat
