where can you (i) get good, technical base layers/thermals CHEAP on line?

ideally those really really thin north face ones, icebreaker ones, or the helly hansen ones?

need lots of clothes like this, and even with my (completley rubbish) staff discount i cant afford lots.

point me in the right direction please

In reply to holly: You can get the Icebreaker Merino Wool base layers from Cotswold's website. They are the best base-layers out I reckon, not necessarily the cheapest but well worth the money!

In reply to Jack00:

yup, thats what i'm lokoing for, but ideally in the sale or cheaper than that. i work in s&r and we sell them at rrp, but even with my staff discount it's still quite expensive

scroll down to clearance items. base layers £14, not wool or antibac but good stuff.

In reply to holly: There might be some in the Rock Bottom section of the site and it's usually a lot cheaper there.

Unfortunately they only pop up in there occasionally.

In reply to holly: Try the TNF Rep next time he's in your work as I always end up with a new base layer off him

You could always come and see me at work and see if we've got anything for you.

OT: Got C4 Maths on Thursday? I am certainly not looking forward to it after my major screw up on Monday with C3!

In reply to Andy Lockett: Seconded... GOOD value stuff from Chocolate Fish and ever so helpful.
In reply to holly:

http://www.daleswear.co.uk have cheap baselayers. Maybe worth a look. (e.g. Polartec PowerDry T-shirt for £7.50).

If you order stuff, beware that the basket price looks all wrong. They'll charge you the right amount, though.

In reply to Reaver2k:

In reply to holly:

Surely just not your first choice? I have been revising hard all day, with 90% of my answers ending totally wrong - great... GS tomorrow... What a waste of revision time!
OP holly 12 Jun 2007
In reply to Reaver2k:

nope, both my choices specify an A in further maths

shame thats the bit i cn't do though

i have done 18 past papers in physics so far (6 today) - i'm yet to pass one decently, eek
