I compared Asda and Primark thermals to Marks and Spencer and there was a clear winner
Just before Christmas, I grabbed myself a full set of Marks and Spencer thermals to see how warm they would keep me - and how long before I'd need to slap the heating on. This was in response to shoppers raving about how warm and snuggly M&S's Heatgen thermals are, with some claiming they "don't need the heating on" when they wear them.
For the purposes of this comparison, I snapped up long-sleeved thermal tops and leggings from both Asda and Primark, which I compared to the M&S Thermal Heatgen™ Plus top and leggings. I opted for the thermal-branded long-sleeved t-shirt and leggings, as both said they were made with "with heat-retaining technology" and a "thermal knit". This made me think they'd be quite sturdy items.
I did not feel it did much to "retain heat" on my body which is really the whole point. Even with a woolly top on top I still did not feel all that warm in this item I'm afraid. The leggings were in a more traditional "thermal long john" style with a ribbed effect along them. At first I thought the leggings would not be warm enough to wear without a layer on top, but they actually really surprised me as they did seem to retain a lot of heat as I pottered about in the house in them.
