Ordered.
They don’t appear to do IsoCool leggings in fat bloke size. The tops work well.
Yeah. I saw that. I’m hoping the 4xl shirt fits me.
I hate this site as I've just spent £50 on new stuff too.
the amusingly named running leggings are Isocool and come in 3XL

Halvarssons long sleeved moisture wicking base layer with windproof front is the hands down best undergarment I've ever used on a bike, summer or winter. Mine is the mesh sweater one with a wind blocker front. Makes it dead easy removing leather jacket when it's hot and sticky and helps keep you warm as a base layer when cold.
Merino is great for warmer rides. Non-smelly, quick dry (you can wash in the evening and dry overnight on a long trip) and keeps you cool when it's hot, and warm in cooler weather.
But for cold rides, I have found Reed Chillcheater "Transpire" to be fabulous https://www.chillcheater.com/products/transpire-fleece-set
It's sold for kayaking because it dries super-quick, it's lovely and warm, and helps retain body heat even when it gets wet! Brilliant!

I took the Icebreaker lightweight merino wool tops and bottoms to the Pyrenees last week and had the normal mixed bag of weather. It was great on the wet/cold days but we had a couple of days of 30 degrees, when it was too warm. However, I was wearing a laminate suit with pretty good venting but I was still too hot. I think it would have been better with my Revit Sand 3. Next time I'm going to take a mixture of synthetic and Merino wool baselayers.
Thanks for that. I've ordered some and we'll see how they perform.
If you have a local branch, get them to order them for you. They will still be delivered to your home but there is no postage charge even if the order is less than £50
I use the Halvarsson's meash base layer all year round. Wicks moisture away in hotter weather and keeps wind chill off the front in colder weather.
In the end I went for mountain warehouse icecool shirts. Dry in no time at all.
