Can anyone recommend me a good body warmer please ?

I walk my dog at least once a day so it will be worn when not cold enough for a coat but just a jumper isn't enough as well as in the house when I'm cold and don't want to put a cardigan over a jumper.

No clue where to start as not had one before. Not M & S is my only definite.

Thank you WineFlowers.

Patagonia are lovely, warm and light weight!

I'm on my second from Uniqlo and have practically lived in them for the past couple of years. Incredibly lightweight so can be shoved into a small dog walking bag if not needed. But also incredibly warm. We moved into a rather draughty old house recently and I've hardly taken it off! Very reasonably priced too. And hard wearing (only on my second because I ripped my first on some barbed wire).

Mine's from decathlon. Also good.

You can buy heated body warmers that plug into a usb to charge up! I bought one for my Dad from eBay/China... not posh but very warm and cosy.

Thank you very much. I will take a look now. I haven't heard of a couple of those brands.

@Medievalist could you advise me re sizes please? Do I buy the same size as what T-shirt is buy or jumper or coat? I'd buy each item in different sizes atm.

I'm rather tall and a size 16/18. I wear an xl in the Uniqlo body warmer. I recommend the navy which has a lovely pearly cast to it.

Thank you. I'm definitely getting the navy. I think I'll go to the actual shop later in the week so I can try them on.

Rab women’s cirrus flex. I’m on my second one. I work outside all year round. Lovely and warm and thin enough to get a waterproof jacket over too

@Medievalist I bought a navy Uniqlo body warmer today and I can see it being worn a lot. Thank you.
