    Running Baselayer vests available in LIDL on 13/10/2011. Not sure how good they are though. Gloves and skull caps on offer as well.

    Cheers for the heads up on this!

    I got a couple of the sleeveless versions of these last time round, they're just the job. Warning though - they are quite warm, so if the weather is in any way mild you'll be sweating :)

    I don't think base layers are too much of a advanced science, they all pretty much do the job. You basically just have to choose between synthetic and wool, both of which are good options for different conditions. Then get the cheapest possible. I have a large variety of Wiggle's dhb and Craft in synthetic and Trekmates in merino wool. I think I have a few other brands in synthetic also, Endura probably. The particular Craft ones I have are warmer. The synthetics I picked up for around €10-15 in the sales and the merino ones were €20-25.

    Touring I am very fond of the wool one as I wear it like a light sweater off the bike, more than I actually use it on the bike. At home I more frequently use the synthetics.

    Her indoors says I have enough so refused a handout for purchase order yesterday...Damn Recession!:mad:

    LOL, I got a similar reaction, I had 3 ready to go, wife said "I thought you had no money and we've a holiday to pay for". So two were put back on the shelf and I kept the third saying I can hardly turn it down when it's on sale which just about worked for me.
