Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Aldi merino stuff

Aldi have a load of merino stuff coming in this Thursday, granted its marketed at cycling but one wonders if it's any different to the ski stuff which is decent enough gear. Quite like the look of this midlayer, similar in looks to my icebreaker one that was 5 times as much rolling eyes https://www.aldi.co.uk/men%27s-merino-sports-midlayer/p/070969059935400

Im not sure about this exact top. But i have Aldi merino long johns and a mid layer top. I also have the Icebreaker version of each. I alternate the days I wear them, and never noticed a difference!

I always check out the sale areas for merino stuff, got the top for £7.99 and the bottoms were £9.99!

I prefer the fit of the Aldi stuff to that of my one pair of Icebreaker thermals.

Im a real brand snob, loving my icebreaker and ortovox stuff. Bought the wife some of the Aldi and TKMaxx stuff last year, and I have to concede that hers is just as good. I don't think it will last quite as long, but for the 2 weeks a year its excellent value!!!

excellent, will try and pop along to one on Thursday.

Got a merino t shirt last year for £15 and it's just as good as an Icebreaker one- in fact is a slightly better fit.

Ive been using Aldis thermals for the last two years.

Got to say they are as good as any ive had in the past 20 years. Amazing value.

Thanks for the heads up about these.

Just purchased: Merino mid layer is brill, identical to my Icebreaker one.

Size medium for the above is perfect, but warning that the base-layer medium was very tight so changed to a large, which is still a "good" fit

@geoffers, picked some base layers and a mid layer myself, even though they are marketed in the 'cycling' range the packaging just says 'sports' so no doubt will be identical to the ski ones when they come about. I have the exact design of icebreaker top which they clearly took off so with both being new i will wear equally all season just to see how they compare! That said, was half tempted to take the icebreaker back!
