After much thought I have purchased the original snug pack sleeka jacket . Managed to see one 35£ in as new so I'm looking forward to testing it's properties . Seems their versatile enough which ever way it's used ,jacket,under jacket warmer,light small . See how it goes when it arrives .

Still not decided which as yet, I do like the snugpack sleeka original ,great reviews recommendations too. Fleece wise some I don't like the big ruffled cuffs and hem like the French ones so not decided but the advice from the thread has been very usefull. And provided wider selection.

Thank you all. wollen socks which whilst they stayed in situ were comfy but tend to work under the feet and fold causing discomfort I guess. On reflection I think as said the shoe and insole to give correct support is paramount. So I guess sock wise it's so long as feet don't sweat and...
