Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

I’ve been freezing all week. I’ve never bought any of that “base layer” or “thermal underwear” stuff, but I’m wondering if it is worth spending on to keep me warm. M&S does lots of Heatgen stuff, a friend swears by Uniqlo Heattech, while Damart’s Thermolactyl pants are £59. Tell me what’s best.
