I don't think the brand is too important. The material is the key. All the bushwalking ones I've bought are polypropylene (I think
). I remember having a running argument with my ex-wife over it.
She was a fashion designer and had studied textiles - there was no way a synthetic fibre could be as warm as a natural fibre...
well, the proof is in the pudding. They must have developed the microstructure of the fibre a bit for this application to hold small air pockets (air is a good insulator) and to wick away sweat, because they do work.
Buy them at a reputable outdoor/camping/bushwalking store.
I think the work issue thermals I was wearing are a cotton blend... not nearly as effective.
