I'm looking for a pair of thermals or layering that I could take from super cold powder days to moderately cold park days. I want a pair that will keep me warm and still I am able to maneuver easily. Wouldn't mind a pair that are comfortable, not too heavy, and aren't too expensive.

I have been looking at Helly Hansen Warm. Basically I don't know much about it. I know that there is Ice Breaker, Helly Hansen, Columbia, and a ton others. Which is the best? Which do you guys use? I just don't know enough about it to make an informed decision.

Thanks for the help NS!

I've been using an icebreaker 200 jersey and 3/4 bottoms for a while now. Very good quality, comfortable and can be used for days without smelling rank. The patagonia merino stuff looks good as well, I haven't tried it personally, but I've heard good things. It's well worth investing in some quality underwear and socks!

Get a 200, 260 and 320 and you are good for all weather conditions.
