In today's rapidly developing world, you no longer need to be afraid of the cold, insulate yourself with massive uncomfortable things and sacrifice beauty for the sake of warmth. Almost everyone can afford special underwear that will keep you warm at low temperatures.

Previously, such a privilege was only available to athletes, but now these useful things are included in the everyday wardrobe of those who have nothing to do with sports. We have compiled a top rating of the best thermal underwear for the whole family, so that when choosing the right new thing, it would be easier for you to decide and purchase a really high-quality model.

What it is?

Thermal underwear is a type of clothing that is made from different synthetic or natural materials, depending on the operating conditions, with the main function of keeping body heat in cold weather. Despite its name, thermal underwear is not at all an additional warming element of the wardrobe.

The fabric structure is based on the principle of two-level cells. Thanks to the lower level, excess moisture is removed from the body, which can cause discomfort and freezing during high activity and physical exertion. The upper level distributes moisture over the surface and due to the capillary effect, excess moisture simply evaporates.

In this way, heat transfer is regulated, overheating does not occur, and the natural microclimate is not disturbed. Thermal underwear can be sold in sets and units for different parts of the body.

• pants;
• turtleneck;
• socks;
• T-shirt;
• thermal shorts;
• tops.

Different brands offer other parts of the wardrobe marked “thermo”, these can be jackets, hats or leggings.

How to choose?

 

Criteria for choosing thermal underwear are divided into several categories.

By appointment

• For those who are engaged in active sports and are forced to undergo physical activity in the open air, sports or moisture-wicking thermal underwear is suitable.
• If underwear is purchased for everyday wear, walking or light physical exertion, then thermal underwear that will retain body heat is well suited. Therefore, you need to pay attention to models designed for everyday wear with a heat-saving function.
• There are also models that combine heat-saving and moisture-removing functions. They are suitable for both sports and everyday use. Such thermal underwear is called hybrid.

By design

This type of underwear can be different not only in functionality, but also in cut:

• feminine;
• male;
• unisex;
• baby.

Thermal clothing for children, as a rule, is very comfortable to wear, functional and is made for both very small passive children, and for those who lead an active and semi-active lifestyle.

Composition

From what thermal underwear should be, everyone decides individually, depending on the conditions for which it is purchased.

Sports underwear, most often, is fully synthetic in composition. This is due to the fact that clothing for running or any outdoor training must be well-wicked and durable. Synthetic fabrics fit these characteristics better than anyone else.

Synthetic materials include:

• Polypropylene. It is considered the best material that removes moisture without getting wet. The downside is that the material dries out the skin, so it is not recommended to wear products from it on an ongoing basis.
• Polyester. A very popular material in the production of thermal underwear.Clothing can be made entirely from it, or with the addition of fibers from other materials. This is due to the fact that the structure of polyester is similar to cotton, so things can last quite a long time and, at the same time, remain soft and functional. Also, such thermal underwear can be dried on a radiator and ironed without fear of fabric deformation.
• Polyamide. Very light and smooth material. It is mainly used in the production of seamless underwear.
• Elastane. Gives things elasticity and wear resistance. Underwear, which contains elastane fibers, stretches perfectly and, at the same time, there are no traces of stretch marks.

natural materials:

1. Cotton and wool fibers retain heat well, but at the same time, they are not so durable and remove moisture more slowly, holding it firmly until it evaporates completely. Therefore, more thermal underwear is produced from natural materials for every day.
2. The warmest thermal underwear is made from the wool of merino sheep. It is known that it is this kind of woolen fibers that has the best thermostatic qualities, does not cause allergies and does not irritate even the most delicate infant skin. Therefore, as a rule, thermal clothing for the smallest is made from such wool. Another useful property of merino wool products is that the fibers provide micro-massage of the body, as a result, blood circulation in the skin capillaries becomes more intense.
3. Often, in order to make thermal underwear more comfortable to wear, bamboo or silk fibers are added to its composition. A mixed composition of natural and synthetic components is often found in models of hybrid thermal underwear.

According to the recommendations

By itself, the functionality of such things is not aimed at warming in cold weather, but at preserving heat and removing moisture. Therefore, in addition to them, it is better to purchase appropriate outerwear. For example: polartec or membrane suit.
