Aldi thermal undies

[Browser]

Has anyone any experience of these? I am kinda-sorta thinking a long-sleeved base layer might be needed for the coldest winter days but am worried that if these really are thermal then I'll cook?
Anyone?

If the material is anything like their ls jersey that has a fleece like lining.. it will get you sweaty, hot, bad tempered and cold all at the same time.
Just an opinion.

A fleece base layer
These are probably (although the website is unclear) £19.98 for the set. For this price you can buy something much better (and probably cheaper).
Look at www.mountainwarehouse.com with a code which I can't find at present.

I must be either dim, doing somethign wrong or both as I can't get the webpage to see anything when I search for CTW20, sorry!
They do have a good range of clothing there though.
Whilst I'm here I might as well ask the newbie clothing questions, as all I seem to read about is base layers, Gilets windproof jackets etc and I feel like I need a cycling-to-English phrasebook sometimes!
Currently I are mostly wearin' a long-sleeved cycling shirt (Aldi special), long troos (again Aldi) and a Ventura Luminite breathable jacket. If it's more chilly I put a normal cotton tee shirt under this lot, but feel for frosty-cold mornings I could benefit from a long-sleeved undergarment. Now, I keep seeing the term 'base layer' bandied about and haven't managed to pin down what that is. Does my current cycling shirt count as a base layer or is said base layer to go under that?
Yours, confused or Crowland!

Thanks for the clarification Mr C! I'd seen the bamboo ones, they look very innerestin'. I'll remember the discount code as well thanks!

Says they're hydrophilic, but it's not exactly clear (from photo) how heavy these are. It's not often one needs bottoms/long-johns as a good pair of shorts with cycling tights over are usually enough, except for the coldest weather (which UK doesn't usually get).

They certainly are inexpensive.

I have a base-layer page linked from the sidebar of the Winter Cycling page, below.

Thanks fer that Randochap, explains a lot. I've seen merino baselayers in a coupole of places so I might give 'em a try.
Concur with what you say about legs, the Aldi longs I've got were cheap but ar thicker on the front and thus far have kept me warm enough, I just need a bit more body wrapping.

They did have the Golfing Base layer for sale last week.
I picked one up and it's fine. You won't need bottoms though to be honest.
