I have used EDZ in the past with good results in hot and cold weather.


At the moment I am using the Spada Base Layer, very good in hot sweaty conditions and chilly mornings, they do chill factor stuff for the really cold days (or summer anywhere north of Watford)

Hi dude I used to buy expensive base layers £50 from all the majour brands then when i got into motorcycling i bought some cheaper ones from supermarkets aldi lidl etc go outdoors and have been surprised that they function just the same if not better than the expensive ones.  So it all depends one what brand you want  ...

Also, M&S thermals do the job too and are "probably" warmer in the winter. I've got these brushed thermals that kept me warm all winter.

I bought Icebreaker Marino wool top and long johns for winter hill walking, and I use em on the bike too.

Very light, thin, breathable and of course amazingly warm can wear em for days on end and they don't smell much.  I think there are three grades available, I got the medium weight.

Expensive, but it's the best stuff you can get and will last donkies years.

There are other brands of Marino wool such as Smartwool which is good too.  Marino wool winter socks are brill too.

And if you hate wool, well I do too, but Marino wool is like no other wool you have ever worn. 

Right now it's boiling though.

+1 for Icebreaker Merino, both the missus and I have the top and long johns and they're truly amazing...nuff said!
