What underware should I buy? - Page 5

I got a pair of Craft leggins yesterday. My legs had been cold before I got them but when I went for a ride this morning when it was fairly cold and blowing a gale and was warm enough.
I think having wind/waterproof textile from HG helps a lot too though.
From my (very limited) experience, best thing is to wear loads of thinner layers.

Hiya max, loads of layers good idea but limited under leather, don't wanna stretch it too much

I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread that I had the thermals from Aldi - I had them on yesterday, with my Swift (M&P bargain) water & wind proof trousers (didn't even have the zip out liners in) and some thick socks and my legs stayed nice and warm. On the top half, a t shirt over the undies, my Tuzo jacket and a hi-viz canary jacket over that. It was only 40 deg F outside but I was comfy all day. The heated seat and grips help though

I make my own heated seat using the same principle as the age-old, tried and tested under-quilt heating system........and in a full face helmet I can't smell it either

Surely I can't be the only rider out there that occupies their mind (?!) on a ride by humming tunes (at one end or the other)?
