Its one of those days when it is warmer out than in, we don't want to put
the heating on just yet - seems a bit early - but right now I have to say
that I am cold. That brings me nicely back on topic to ask for
recommendations re. thermal underwear to wear when gardening and at any
other time come to that :-)

Are Damart still about? We had a shop here on the Isle of Wight but it has
long since closed.

I can't wear wool, so when I used to ski I used to get silk longjohns etc.
from Patra. They lasted for years and I used to wear them for sailing early
in the year, too. I don't find it gets cold enough often enough down here
to need them now but I'd certainly look into those again if I were in your,
er.....shoes. ;-)

certainly the tights were popular on the ships when I was up in the northen
north sea working, but I could never quite feel right in them! ordinary long
johns work fine, but in all cases if you are doing something active you
suddenly find yourself feeling very hot. I prefer layers over rather than
under so they can be easily removed, best of all I prefer it not being cold
enough to need anything :~)

I'll vouch for that!

yes I agree with the layers, I have just been having a rummage thro last
years winter clothing etc. and I think I feel a shopping spree coming on. We
should have a Damart somewhere handy or at least on line but I think silk
sounds nicer :-)))

Silk works well, and despite all the labels advising special washing,
I've found it seems pretty resistant to shrinking. I use extra silk
layers for caving in winter.

I had a Danish friend who wore Helly Hansen thermal undies when she sailed.

There's posh. ;-) But they're not natural fibre and while I know they're
constructed so as to breathe, I think I'd rather go for the silk, myself.
