Aldi Merino base layer, £15.99 wear it for cycling, garnening, wood chopping. Kept it’s shape and still looks good, much better than my Endura Baa Baa.
Although talking of Endura I realised the other day when slipping on my Endura thermal tights, that I have had them more than 15 years and other than a bit of freying on the straps they are still in very good condition. Same with my 15 year old bib 3/4s.
Rab Microlight vest, bough it cheap in a sale and it has been amazing, wear it every day, keeps me warm, packs small, cannot fault it. I know have a Microlight Alpine jacket, I’ll report back on its performance in a couple of years, but I am sure it will be immense.
