I normally wear Helly base layers and a thin fleece, which then goes in the back pack if I get hot.
I've just bought some Nike Pro Therma Max vest and legs stuff, mainly for winter biking but may give it a go on the slopes... if it gets cold enough.
The Nike stuff was in a sale at JJB. $130 for the set in the Nike Store, on line. <£60 in JJB. |

See I would say that a base layer to keep you snug is a thermal. |

The helly hansen stuff is ok but it gets a bit smelly, merino base layers ftw! I nearly always have a base layer on top, because as the saying goes: Cotton kills.
mine are fully synthetic ones and never smell even after a weeks riding without washing them... although they are the dry series not warm... |

| Thermals are not just for keeping you warm, it also wickes moisture [your sweat] away from your body and keeps you dry and comfy. |

Just out of interest, what is the difference between "thermals" and "base layers"?
I've got some base layer tops but they aren't labeled as "thermals", and I don't have any leggings.
I'm curious as i'm going to the Bash in Jan, so need to know if I should pick up some extra warm stuff 
Cheers. |

I think just some companies call them thermals some call them base layers... |

hmmmmm, i'm old, snowboard in temperatures down to, umm, well below -30 and have still never found a need for thermals.
A short sleeved wicking layer and a long sleeve top, is all thats needed under my jacket.
Are you lot wimps? Or just buying sh1t equipment? |
