Merino base layer recommendation

[Venod]

They are utter utter (can I continue) utter turd.

After 20 minutes of reasonably good workout riding they stink. Smelly effin Hansen (can you tell what I think of them yet - bought 2 a few months ago. Overrated rubbish)

The £5 decathlon style ones that look similar are as good.

The £10 Aldi baselayers destroy them in terms of warmth and non stinkability.

Merino would wipe the floor with them.

Your not keen then

You know that feeling when you're buying something, when the right side of your brain is thinking "well, they must be better than the £5 Decathlon jobbies, given they are 4 times the price (on offer)" - then, weeks later the left side of your brain is telling you "I told ya so"

It's that, all there.

Howies make good base layers, as does Rapha and Endura. I've got all three bug I think overall I like Howies the best - best combination of weight, warmth and value
