I have always worn Helly Hansen. I have a set of their Merino wool base layers and they are top. I ride in some seriously cold weather and most of the time I don't need anything else under my textiles.

Visit  Go Outdoors- good choice of long johns( even the cheap stuff us good for a couple of seasons). They pull up high above waist to tuck vests/tee shirts in for all round warmth.  Used Go Outdoors base layers when walking the glaciers in Iceland in winter and legs were always warm.

Aldi were selling Merino Long Johns at £15.99. Great value.

EDZ, http://www.edzlayering.com/activities/motorcycle/ do base layer leggings.

I've got the All Climate ones, the Merino ones "work in the same way as the All Climate range but will keep you warmer in colder conditions".
