Ditto the above

Merino base layers from MW or tresspass

cheap if catch em in sales etc

Brief update .......Have taken the wheel bearings out.succesfully.Due to lots to do with xmas around the corner i cannot explain how i did them now .But i will write a post later on down the line when i have more time on my hands ,as it could be usefull info for people Midd.

For many years I have relied upon the quilted, padded nylon linings often found in textile bike suits to keep out the winter chill. However I've grown more and more dissatisfied with these as they are bulky and fiddly to insert and remove from the suit, often requiring much faffing about with zips, toggles and Velcro. This wouldn't be such a problem but for the fact that in spring and autumn, you can find the weather so changeable from day to day that you have to keep putting in and taking out the linings. They also have the disadvantage that they are not very thermally efficient IMHO.

I'm therefore looking for any recommendations for a suitable mid layer that can be worn over an EDZ onesie style base layer.

I have the suspicion that mid layers bought from a mountain/hiking shop would be just as good as bike-specific gear and a fraction of the cost (because it is produced in much greater amounts).

I'm reluctant to buy from a website as experience has shown me that some manufacturer's sizing is completely out to lunch.

Any thoughts?
