I see that Henri Lloyd have brought out a new range, on the basis that thermals don't need to be long johns only.

Boxer short style for men I can understand as practical and comfortable.

But for women, thermal G-strings? Very fetching, I am sure, but isn't a bit like double glazing the front door of the house, and leaving the back door wide open?

Not the first to do this: the ski/mountaineering clothing company Patagonia (aka Patagucci because its really not cheap stuff) has made thermal G-strings for a few years. My guess is that the thinking is especially for base layers, wicking can be important. Cold, damp cotton next to the skin isn't comfortable.

Interestingly enough..

..one of those damn pop up ads at the bottom of the screen was advertising 'sailing in blue' when I read this post. Clever buggers, these e-marketeers.

Come off it Nick. If you've gone to all the trouble of carrying wine and flowers up Ben Nevis and then coaxing a lady mountaineer's trousers off you don't want to find her wearing a big baggy pair of thermal things-your-granny-wore from M&S.

I suppose the simple answer is yes. But if they do actually sell, and they probably will, then they will be marketed at you lot too. Trouble is, they aren't (IMHO) very comfortable to wear. I subscribe to the Bridget Jones style of granny knickers, at least they are comfortable./forums/images/icons/smile.gif
Mind you I would wear my thongs if Jimi was up to modelling his while swinging from the hounds- him being such a skilled mastclimber!
