Have a look at these:

But you won't/can't go wrong with merino wool, and it is WELL WORTH the extra!

don't know what you mean by reasonably priced, but these aer about the 50 mark:
helly hansen ice crew (if you like it tight fitting)
or an icebreaker if you don't mind it non-tight fitting.

I can recommend from personal experience the Ice Breaker long sleeve merino base layer.

As here from Ellis Brigham, not cheap but so worth it. I've have 2 and they get worn a great deal. They work and they last.

Just got 2, used 1 for the 7th time, still doesnt need washing cos no smell, and has good temp regulating, plus keeps you VERY dry. I had a nylony type base layer that has now been binned, will never go back to them again. Got this because of the good price, and well made too.

I use these from probikekit. Reasonably priced too!

Another Ground Effect fan here. The Submerino (linked in Dayvo's post) is a great piece of kit.

If it's merino you're after these may be worth a punt -

I'm off to Aldi on Sunday then (see above) that's a great price for Merino.

im with yello, used mine for 3 years very regularly. bought a merino top from howies was not cheap, but very thin and msishapen after first wash. i doubt those aldi will be of any substance but here to proved wrong .

 

[HelenD123]

I got mine from these people and its washed and worn perfectly.

Have you considered Bamboo? Just as good as merino but without the inexcusable barbarity involved in its production.

I used a Helly Henson one at work once. That was very warm, have that with a normal jersey ontop and you will be warm enough(well i would, but then i was out today in 2 short sleeve jerseys and felt warm enough)
They are £27 if i remember right and they are pretty good.
Or there are Crag Hopper Merino wool ones thats £30something, never tried one of them on, but they look good and quiet a few people seem to buy them.
