    Base thermals - to cheap?

    Hey gents, anyone here wear stuff by base thermals? They seem to have some stuff that seems maybe too cheap to be good?

    100% wool jersey with wind block lining,
    Oil skin vests
    Puffer jacket

    Mainly looking at grabbing a wool jumper and oilskin - failing that - anyone have good affordable options ?

    Thermals,as in thin layer next to skin,postie plus has good stuff at great low prices,it lasts just as long as top branded stuff and if rip it on bush lawyer or rocks I don't cry over the cost.

    Me and my sons have used base thermals in the past. Nothing wrong with them, a bit heavier and longer drying time than some brands but they keep you warm.
    I've been getting Facebook ads about the windproof wool jersey on sale for $90. Seriously contemplating buying one.

    I've been using the Postie merino stuff too. Does the job, and is cheap.

    I have experience with Base puffer jacket. Jacket is big, bulky, puffy and warm, and uses cheaper quality down. Nothing wrong with it - you get what you pay for. Great for around town and keeping warm watching kids play sports on cold mornings.

    For more serious outings and tramping and hunting I use my Macpac puffer jacket - much better quality and better warmth to weight ratio.

    Cheers for the feed back, gona grab a few things for the price - sounds good for home and town and around the farm but won’t be taking any of it bush - but it’s at a price I won’t be hurt if I ruin it getting dirty.

    If any interest I can let yous know how the wooden jumper is
