.... Was thinking that's defo a bit expensive for a thermal top also... Now am thinking, I need one of them.. Am probably going to be able to wear it for 4 or 5 months of the year anyway, so is probably a good investment... Might reduce the amount of layers required during winter... Reduce the Michelin man effect and free up the swing a bit..

I wear a baselayer too but mine was like £13 from County Golf for Castore ones. Not sure how much extra warmth or benefit you get for £47 on top of that, but maybe I'm missing out. It's just layers at the end of the day.

Seriously guys, this is by far the best ever baselayer I’ve ever owned.

“Pull up a sandbag” 36 years in the Army playing Soldiers in some rubbish freezing cold enviroments and wish to god I’d of kit like this.
On the Golf Course I’ve been wearing the baselayer plus a long sleeve Polo and that’s all up top, only addition has been a Footjoy hydroknit jacket.
I also have their running baselayer and that is just as good, infact it has to be freezing to wear it as if it’s “just cold” it’s too warm.
Look out for their Jan sales or special offers as they do come up cheaper.
I have a few i got from Lidle, i think they were less than a £10. they did them in 4 colors and a couple are fleece lines. really good value. had them at least 10 years.

Sounds great. I just looked at the size chart and Large comes in at 40-44 and XL at 44-48, so obviously I'm a 44 and unsure which to get
Any suggestions on sizing from your experiences?, ie do they come up larger, smaller etc?
For comparison my FJ and UA Large are skintight but wearable no problem, the FJ in XL is snug but not tight if that makes sense?
Many thanks.

Not got mine yet - it’s on its way - but my mate suggested to order a size larger than you would normally wear.

I will be interested to hear about this baselayer when those who have ordered get theirs. The trouble with a price like that is I always feel like you need a couple so one can be washed while wearing the other. With things like baselayers, they feel like a one-wear kind of thing, like pants

I wash mine after every use, 2nd winter with my Golf one and still as good as new, machine wash and dry on radiator.I will be interested to hear about this baselayer when those who have ordered get theirs.

In regards to base layers, I’ve got a couple of UA cold gear ones that are years old now but still going strong but I’ve seen the ‘Heat tech’ ones in Uniqlo that looks decent. Anyone tried them?

Mines has came today... Santa let me try it on in case it's too tight... Totally different from my UA baselayer...its probably about 4 times as thick.. It's almost similar to loft insulation material on inside.. Didn't feel itchy though.
Fits well.. (still look like a stuffed sausage) freedom of movement was great.
Looking forward to testing it on the course... Won't be this weekend tho with 50mph gusts and horizontal rain forecast...
Thanks for the tip guys.
