I bought some Helly hansen artic survival thermals way back in 1977, in Haugesund one february, waiting for the ship to have a new crankshaft fitted. It was FREEZING. They have lasted me all these years, beautiflly warm, but bulky. 2012 for the Bering Sea and Bering Strait expedition I got a couple of sets of Helly Hansen modern base layers that mimmick merino but wear a lot harder - very fine but incredibly warm and insulating, plus they work when wet, which for immersion survival is very important. They are still going strong but I saw the ZeroFit ones at the NEC - oh my word. They are fantastic. You don't have to be active for them to work either. I got the Heatrub Ultimate and a lighter one, the Heatrub Move. The Ultimate for out on the water and exposed use, the standard Heatrub Move is plenty for on the motorbike.
On the motorbike, absolutely ideal.
On the boat, they are brilliant.
Sat on the riverbank, fishing - toasty warm.
I am sure you will have other ideas of where they could be of benefit. No need to layer up either, just the base layer and something over the top, rugger shirt works well, then your jacket for whatever you're doing. I am stunned by their performance, these cold days they came into their own, the cost will be recouped by the saving on heating alone. Turn the thermostat down and wear the base layer and stay warm without burning fossils
They are affordably priced too.
