I would recommend a set of thermals/long underwear in silk or like Uniqlo 's heattech.
Hands and feet were freezing but the black magic known as Uniqlo heattech kept my body warm.
Uniqlo Heattech for layering.
Uniqlo Heattech tops and bottoms.
Also I see Uniqlo heattech recommended a lot but I’ve never bought it, but that could also work.

Maybe you could get some brynje here as baselayer / souveneir, you could order on fjellsport and ship it somehwere.
I have a Finetrack but I prefer a Brynje or an Alpha Direct as my first layer. They seem to evacuate sweat quicker than the Finetrack.
For someone that does both, no way Brynje is redundant with AD. Its different. AD holds more water and is warmer. Brynje is more flexible and easier to fine tune around for sweaters.
Brynje is nice, but I'd call it an "optional add-on". It doesn't really replace anything in my wardrobe, although it enhances other layers in cold weather.
Brynje on the skin, merino layer over that, and your other layers over. I work outside and have no issues staying warm with this system.
