i can only wear it skiing or genuinely cold weather walking.

yes, to keep me warm - are you talking about the Macpac Geothermals ?? I'll take a look at their site..
I am generally not one to feel the cold - shorts all year round, sleep warm and a warm walker..
but as I plan to do more winter walking this year.. i need to do something so I can ditch the merinos..

not a fan of "standard" polypro - the warmth to weight ratio is pretty crappy.. I think I'll go take a good look at the Capilene stuff from "Patagucci" and the Month silky stuff..
bearing in mind this is the ultralight section - any other recommendations ???
