Write your question here...What is the diference between "a base layer" & the old thermo underware? Is the purpose of a base layer warmth or something else?

"Base layer" is just a semi-recent term for the layer that you wear closest to your body, generally for warmth, often next-to-skin. Underwear definitely counts as a baselayer. This would be a great baselayer, as would something wool (the Stoic Merino shirts are amazing) or polypro of capilene. Up to you.
