New viral Primark £6 'stay warm wherever you are' leggings 'perfect' for winter Shoppers are heading to stores to get their hands on the 'Heat IQ' range for autumn and winter Primark has gone viral for selling a new range of thermal clothing designed to keep you warm wherever you are. The store has been receiving plenty of attention from shoppers on social media for its 'Heat IQ' collection. Starting from £6, shoppers can get their hands on the store's Heat IQ Leggings. There are three levels of 'warmth' to choose from: 'Warm', 'Extra Warm', and 'Max Warm'. Primark says the collection is "made with Heat IQ technology" for "maximum warmth retention". Wearing thermal leggings or fleece-lined leggings at home can be an effective and inexpensive way to stay warm. Keeping yourself warm helps you lower your thermostat and cut down on heating bills. Martin Lewis and his team at MoneySavingExpert (MSE) actively advocate for the concept of "heating the human, not the home" as a highly effective cost-cutting strategy. The main idea is that it is far cheaper to apply heat directly to your body or trap your own body heat than to pay to warm the empty air in an entire room. Online, Primark’s thermal leggings are praised as an affordable choice for staying warm in winter. Shoppers on community forums like Mumsnet and Reddit widely praise them as a 'winter game-changer'. They are especially popular for everyday activities like working from home, doing the school run, or going for cold outdoor walks. Some travellers have even reported that the thickest versions perform well during sub-zero holiday trips, such as winter breaks to Lapland. On Facebook, content creator Laura Primark Finds, uploaded a post about the leggings, including the flare option, which has already racked up thousands of likes and comments. In the caption, she said: "Primark's viral Heat IQ Leggings?! These have gone absolutely MAD recently, and I’ve just spotted they now have £8 FLARED and WIDE LEG versions too! Barely any sizes left in my store in the wide leg style!" In the comment section, one person said: "I got them last year when they weren't called this, so comfy I got two." Another tagged a friend and said: "This is what we need for winter!" Someone else said: "They are sooo comfy." Another wrote: "The fluff on these is crazy, they have been washed a few times and still fluff everywhere, super cosy and comfortable though." Someone else said: "I got 4 sets ready for the winter but I brought mine with the leggings as all these flared ones are miles too long I’m only 5ft and leggings are perfect on me." As mentioned, Primark offers three different warmth levels in its Heat IQ range to suit various winter conditions. The entry-level 'Warm' leggings are thin and lightweight, and can be worn as a hidden base layer underneath your regular jeans or work trousers. The 'Extra Warm' version features a brushed-fleece interior that blocks out biting winds. The heaviest option is the 'Max Warm' velvet-plush legging, which has a thick, faux-fur lining that is designed to trap body heat. Both the fleece and velvet styles are thick enough to be worn completely on their own as trousers. However, some shoppers say that because they are made from affordable synthetic fabrics rather than expensive merino wool, the material can start to bobble or pill after several washes. They are also not designed for intense exercise as they do not wick away sweat. If you wear them for heavy hiking or skiing, the fabric may hold onto moisture and eventually make you feel chilly. In addition to regular leggings, Primark is also selling Heat IQ thermal flare leggings, velvet plush tights, fleece top, zip fleece top, quarter-zip fleece top, thermal crew-neck top, base layer top, jumpsuit, and high-neck long-sleeve top.

However, shoppers will need to head into a physical store or use Primark's Click and Collect service to buy them.
