I make do with one pair for a season, and they'd probably get washed about once in that time. I wear base layers underneath which get changed daily. Enjoy.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

sounds OK to me, except I probably wouldn't change base layers every day......

Merino base layers are what you need.

1 pair - it's not like you can't buy a pair if they have to cut the first pair off to put rods in your femur.

Haha 😂 Is it that physically challenging though ?

One pair is fine.

hey cad99uk i see your talking about merino layers there and I'm just wondering how many base layers i should bring on this trip and mid layers ?

I think they pay a lot more in NZ for quality gear so I'd investigate that and then load up with end of season sale stuff and flog it off out there. Maybe go for Goretex shell pants that pack down easily and sell for many sheep (or whatever their currency is)

Entirely up to you how many base layers you want to take. I've managed with 3 sets before as they hand wash and dry overnight quite nicely, good if washing machine access is iffy.
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
Yeah was thinking around maybe 3-4 myself, think access to washing machine and drying facilities is all there for me which is quite handy if I'm honest

I would take 3 pants and 4 tops and I would go for the thin merino i.e. the HH 'wool' stuff that HH sells rather than the HH 'warm' kit which is very warm and too thick for every-day skiing I find unless its -20.

I actually really like the HH dry kit which isn't merino at all and can be picked up pretty cheaply in the sales, does a super job wicking away when being quite active.

Yeah thinking the hh wool stuff myself because can't see it being really cold in New Zealand and I know how warm things can get. Thinking maybe two pants dont know why though haha but don't want to be very weighty as I'll be bringing skiis and boots with me. And like going out shirts and stuff. Purchased the hh racer jacket so hoping it's a good buy to be honest.
