Can anyone recommend places to buy them at a reasonable price please?

I bought one in Sainsburys, but it was a few years ago. Black with silver edging round the neck and cuffs. It does a very good job.

I don't know what M&S cost are like probably not cheap but my other one is M&S also from a good few years ago..

Uniqlo sell them in various levels of warmth. Excellent quality.

I reckon almost any long-sleeved T-shirt made of reasonably thick interlock fabric, worn under a shirt and a jumper/cardigan is pretty good at holding in body heat. An ordinary sleeveless vest or top under the T-shirt makes an extra layer for your torso if you need it.

Layers is the secret.

Decathlon are good and reasonably priced £5.99 for long sleeved tops.

Patra is great for silk ones, the best. And Damart has good quality long sleeve vests.

Damart?

I use M&S ones.
Several colours and certainly (up to last year) two thicknesses.
I like the thinner ones best.

M&S ! I have had two long sleeved thermal tops that are several years old and still OK! I bought an extra thermal one a year ago, it's perfect for autumn without needing a jumper on top!

Joseanne Sat 22-Oct-22 15:55:28

I like the polo neck thermal vest tops, M & S.

I bought mine in Tesco they are thin but very warm.

Redhead56 Sat 22-Oct-22 16:35:49

Asda sell then with or without sleeves

Damart have some decent ones.

I bought one recently from Sports Direct (£8) in the camping section.

My Sainbury's ones have lasted for ages and are warm. OH has some from Mountain Warehouse, also warm and long-lasting.

I can recommend, with a proviso, the M & S ones - (because mine are about 3 years old, so I can’t vouch for the quality of them now). They are warm, comfortable and wash well.

HettyBetty Sat 22-Oct-22 22:09:57

I have two Sainsburys ones which have been worn more or less on rotation for about six winters.

I bought another one last week, they have a choice of thickness/warmth and are £13 I think.

Mollygo Sat 22-Oct-22 23:53:30

M&S last for ages. I like them because they’re thin and they don’t show at the neckline of my round necked jumpers.

NotSpaghetti Sun 23-Oct-22 02:39:21

The M&S ones are 2 different "warmths" - "Heatgen" and "Heatgen Plus".
I like the Heatgen a lot. I have several, the oldest are 5 ears old now I think.

Kim19 Sun 23-Oct-22 08:57:05

Damage for me. Have a few of various styles and thicknesses for !any years now.

Joseanne Sun 23-Oct-22 08:58:02

I hadn't noticed the different heats NotSpaghetti thanks. Luckily I have ordered a selection of both, so I can send some back if I want to. I also ordered thermal jeans. To arrive Wednesday.
