Thermals

My legs tend not to sweat to be honest, I don't think they ever have. This is either very good news or quite disturbing.

The whole of your bod produces moisture through your pores. Clammy is so not nice :shock:

Most of snowboarding is in the upper body anyway.

Never get achy legs, but wake up the next day with tight muscles across my back and shoulders.

Have you ever considered the possibility that you're doing it all wrong )

They are £2.50 each, and I have got so used to wearing them under sallopettes, that I almost feel naked without them. I have never had an issue with them, although I always wear CK boxers under the longjohns as well.
I have to be honest and say that in recent years, I have often felt too warm with thermals, and quite often now dont wear any at all, but would definitely do so in Norway, Canada, etc.

I never thought of primark I will have a wonder over in my lunchour to-morrow. I have just bought him some really lary Burton ones on ebay, they do look more comfortable than previous ones. He says they look like PJ,s.

May I suggest these

I have baselayer tops made from the LIFA material and it wicks away the moisture no problem.

At the risk of giving Bandit an age-opening, in my first season, I caught the 8.00 am early "milk lift". This meant leaving the haus at 7.30 am. So one day, going out, I glanced at the thermo, outside the front door. Minus 25 degrees! In the valley bottom!

This was pre-salopette days. If you were a real man, you had to wear skin tight skipants. It was a single chairlift, and by the time you had reached the top, rigor mortis was a real and relevant risk. Frostbite of the extremities was a practical certainty! God, I can hear John Cleese and Michael Payling already!!!

Yes, I can relate to the ski pants lark. I had some in the early 80's. I had chilblains up the outer seam line. Thermals....what were those, anyway there was no room for an underlayer, fashion victim I was, young and gullible :lol:

In thirty years of skiing I have never wore thermals just a pair of cycling shorts, perhaps its the benefit of being on the the large size.

Thread locked due to un-necessary and personally-directed cobblers.

Take some time out and air your frustrations elsewhere please. TVM :evil:
