Thermal underwear: comfort and warmth in any weather
Today you do not need to put on "a hundred clothes" in order not to freeze in cold weather. Lightweight, practical and beautiful thermal underwear itself regulates body temperature, removes sweat and provides the greatest comfort for a person.
Criteria for choosing the best thermal underwear
Thermal underwear type
In order for thermal underwear to please its owner, you need to choose it strictly for the intended purpose. Thermal underwear is:
- sports, or moisture-wicking. It is intended for active physical activity in the fresh air.
- everyday, or heat-saving. Its main function is to retain body heat and is also suitable for light physical activity.
- hybrid. Combines the properties of the two previous types by combining materials with different characteristics.
By cut and design, the underwear is divided into men, women and unisex. Children's thermal underwear stands apart: increased requirements for comfort and heat-saving properties are imposed on it. Manufacturers, as a rule, produce three types of children's underwear: for passive, semi-active and active walks.
Materials and composition
For sports thermal underwear, 100% synthetic materials are used: they remove moisture better and are more durable. For everyday linen, cotton and wool are used, which have high heat-saving properties, but they wick away moisture worse and wear out faster. The warmest underwear is from the wool of merino sheep, but when choosing 100% woolen underwear it is worth making sure that it does not prick the body!
To improve consumer characteristics, silk and bamboo fibers are added to the thermal underwear. Linen with mixed properties (hybrid) also has a mixed composition: natural fibers plus synthetic in different proportions, most often 50/50.
Important: thermal underwear is not a heating pad, but a convenient way to wick moisture away from your skin and keep your body warm. Without the "correct" outerwear (membrane suit and, if necessary, fleece underwear, Polartec), thermal underwear will not work as efficiently as stated by the manufacturer.
Manufacturers of quality thermal underwear
When choosing the best thermal underwear, you need to understand that you will not be able to assess "by eye" the presence of high technologies in a product. Therefore, "Price Expert" advises instead of inexpensive products of one-day firms to give preference to well-known brands that have been on the market for many years and value their reputation. Famous companies Craft, ODLO, X-bionik, Marmot and others offer a very wide range of thermal underwear, relying on sports and casual options: men, women, children. The most popular brands: Norveg(Germany) and Guahoo(Finland-China) - offers for the whole family and any situation can be found.
The principle "the more expensive the better" when choosing thermal underwear works often, but not always. In the inexpensive segment, there are also good models, for example, casual underwear. Comazo(Germany) and sports Brubeck(Poland). But Russian manufacturers have nothing to boast about: their cheap thermal underwear in fact most often turns out to be ordinary underwear without special properties. The only exception is products RedFox and " Alloy».

Happy shopping!
Thermal underwear is one of the main elements in clothing for sports and outdoor activities, designed to control your heat transfer. On how correctly the thermal underwear is selected, it largely depends on how comfortable you will be during sports, and therefore what results you can achieve.
Together with an expert from AlpIndustria Yura Serebryakov we figure out how to choose thermal underwear that suits your conditions.
The principle of layering in clothing
In clothing for sports and outdoor activities, it is customary to adhere to the principle of layering, or, in other words, the concept of three layers. Thermal underwear is the first, base layer and is designed to control heat transfer. Thermal underwear should fit snugly against the body (it is often called the second skin) in order to ensure proper thermoregulation, but at the same time not squeeze muscles and not restrict movement. Thermal underwear is followed by a second, middle layer of clothing designed to keep warm, for example, a fleece or a down sweater. Then comes the third, outer layer, which also removes excess moisture outside, allows the body to breathe under clothing and protects against external influences, precipitation and wind. For example, a jacket with a Gore-Tex membrane.
In order for the equipment to work correctly and create comfortable conditions, and not cause inconvenience, you must carefully select each layer and clearly understand for what tasks and conditions you choose clothes. Let's start by choosing a base.
What is thermal underwear, and what is it intended for
The main function of thermal underwear is to control heat exchange by removing moisture. When you sweat during intense movement, thermal underwear does not accumulate sweat in itself, but removes excess moisture from the body and does not allow you to “cook” under clothes. If you find yourself in cold conditions and / or not actively moving, thermal underwear helps keep you warm. It is this functionality that distinguishes specially designed thermal underwear from ordinary cotton and synthetic clothing.
For the manufacture of thermal underwear, technological synthetic fibers, high-quality soft wool, most often merino wool, or a combination of these materials are used. Cutting thermal underwear often involves combining materials with different composition, density and properties (ventilation, insulation, muscle support) in different zones.
Composition: thermal underwear made of wool, synthetics and combined materials
Wool, in general, has better thermal insulation properties than synthetics, but absorbs moisture more actively. Under intense loads (running, freeriding), this will become a tangible disadvantage: a person sweats a lot, thermal underwear absorbs a large amount of moisture, which does not have time to be removed outside and lingers in clothes - a person begins to "cook" and experience discomfort. Therefore, for intense loads, it is preferable to choose synthetic thermal underwear, which will properly remove moisture and control heat transfer, preventing overheating and hypothermia. If you are facing less intense loads, passive rest, being in very low temperatures, you are looking for thermal underwear for the city or you are freezing quickly, give preference to a base layer made of wool, with its good thermal insulation properties.
Please note that in some cases, woolen thermal underwear can cause irritation, especially on sensitive baby skin. Therefore, we recommend that adults try on clothes before buying, and for children, choose synthetic models.
Thermal underwear for men, women and children
In general, women's and men's thermal underwear does not differ much from each other. The cut of specialized female models takes into account the peculiarities of the female figure and, since girls are usually colder, has more warm zones.
For the manufacture of children's thermal underwear, synthetics are often used, because wool can cause discomfort to the sensitive skin of a child. As a rule, the main task of children's thermal underwear is not to remove moisture, but to keep warm, so it is usually denser than "adult" models.
In general, the models of thermal underwear differ from each other in composition, the presence of compression properties, the recommended temperature regime and design features. When choosing, you should be guided by several points:
- Exercise intensity / high, medium or low activity
- Temperature Range
- Your individual cold tolerance
Thermal underwear temperature range
As a rule, manufacturers indicate the recommended temperature regime and preferred activities in the name or description of the product. For example, the Swiss brand Odlo divides its thermal underwear models into several lines:
- Ultra-light thermal underwear from the Cool line is designed for the hottest weather
- Models marked Light are designed for summer sports, they are lightweight clothing made of thin fabric, the main task of which is to wick moisture away from the body
- Warm - insulated thermal underwear for cold weather and winter sports
- Models marked X-Warm are designed for the coldest temperatures
The choice of thermal underwear depending on the activity and intensity of the loads
First of all, when choosing thermal underwear, you should focus on the degree of activity: whether it will be high, with intense constant loads (freeride, trail running), medium (mountaineering, hiking) or low (walking in the city, fishing). The main task of thermal underwear for outdoor activities and sports is to control heat exchange due to the timely removal of moisture from the body in order to prevent overheating or hypothermia. With low activity, sweating is less, so the main task of thermal underwear for passive rest is to keep warm.
For low activity it is recommended to choose thermal underwear made of wool, for example, Bergans. It retains heat better than synthetics and does not lose its properties over time, is well suited for everyday wear. Synthetic thermal underwear is also worth considering. Its advantages are density, good moisture removal and ease of maintenance.
Thermal underwear for outdoor activities and sports can be divided into compression and non-compression. Compression provides support for the muscles, stimulates blood circulation - the muscles work correctly and are not overloaded. Such underwear usually has a zonal design (X-Bionic, The North Face). Each area of clothing is responsible for a specific process: improved moisture removal (under the arms and in the abdomen), increased heat retention (in the chest, lower back, shoulders), etc. At low activity, compression creates discomfort. High-activity non-compression thermal underwear usually consists of synthetics (Odlo, Arcteryx, The North Face) or synthetic wool blend (Peak Performance) and works best when you move. By the way, as a basic, universal thermal underwear (or, if you are buying thermal underwear for the first time), the Peak Performance model is almost ideal: in areas with increased sweating, synthetics are used with its good moisture-wicking properties, and in areas that freeze faster than others, wool is used with its the ability to keep warm.
Generally, for hiking, trekking and mountaineering suitable for medium or high density thermal underwear, with good breathability and without compression. You can take two sets for the ascent: one for climbing / assault, the second, more insulated, for changing at the base camp (or as a backup option). For winter mountaineering and high-altitude ascents, as well as for winter expeditions, you can consider Power Stretch thermal underwear: it is designed for low temperatures and can even be used as a middle layer.
For downhill skiing, on prepared slopes or off-piste, and trail running and running training, it is worth choosing a compression thermal underwear. It will support muscles and stimulate blood circulation, which is important with constant movement and intense exertion. For these sports, high levels of moisture management and breathability are also important. Thermal underwear for winter sports, as a rule, has a zonal design - a combination of zones with insulation (for example, in the area of the shoulders, chest and lower back), reinforcement (for example, in places of increased wear, in the area of the elbows) and ventilation zones (in places of increased sweating). Base layer for summer activities will have a lower density in order to accelerate the removal of moisture from the body.
Manufacturers regularly develop models for specific sports: taking into account the specifics of loads, their average intensity, as well as seasonality. However, choosing thermal underwear is a very individual process. It depends on your personal characteristics (how you tolerate the cold), your activity in a particular sport. Someone in -10 ° C in the city is cold even in Power Stretch thermal underwear and a puff, for others a model with medium insulation will be enough for a harsh winter expedition. Someone prefers to have a separate set of thermal underwear for each type of activity, another will choose 1-2 of the most universal sets for all cases.

Let's start with a trivial advice that we all often neglect - follow the manufacturer's recommendations. They can usually be found on a sewn-on garment tag or in the accompanying instructions, as well as on the brand's website. There are also some general rules for the care of thermal underwear. The base layer is in contact with the skin, actively absorbs sweat and odors and therefore needs regular care: |

Initially, only athletes used thermal underwear. It allowed moisture to be well removed from the skin during physical exertion, thereby preventing it from freezing. Today there are a great number of companies producing such "smart clothes". And it is in demand not only among people leading an active lifestyle, but also among fans of leisurely walks around the city.
How to choose thermal underwear
- Thermal underwear type directly depends on the lifestyle of the buyer and the purpose of using the garment. In order not to just freeze on the way to work, this is one type, and for active sports - another. Before buying, it is important to know the following selection criteria:
- Material... With active physical activity, experts recommend opting for synthetic models. The age when all clothes should be made of natural layers is a thing of the past. What will happen to the cotton jersey after an active winter run? She will get wet, and the person will sweat. Synthetics in this case will not let the heat escape and will not get wet. The person will stay dry in the warmth. There is a combined thermal underwear: synthetics plus natural fabrics. This look will perfectly retain heat, but will remove all excess moisture outside. This option is suitable for snowboarders. Fishermen should pay attention to natural wool products. This will allow you not to freeze for a long time without moving.
- The size... Before buying, you need to try on the product. It cannot bring the slightest discomfort. Clothing should fit snugly to the body, but not press anywhere.
- Season... Even for the summer, there is a special thermal underwear. Its main task is to remove moisture. The denser the fabric, the colder it is for the colder season.
- Manufacturers produce underwear for men, women and children. The difference is not only in properties, but also in design. After all, the fair sex always wants to look attractive. With this in mind, brands have developed modern models for women. As part of children's thermal underwear, a mixture of natural and synthetic materials is used. In addition, it is better that the first underwear layer is made of hypoallergenic fabric. In order not to make a mistake with the purchase, our experts have compiled a rating of the best thermal underwear for all occasions, based on the advice of professionals.

The basic principle of any thermal underwear is the layering of clothing.

Varieties of thermal underwear
It differs from the usual one in its better ability to accumulate heat between the fabric and the skin, due to which heat loss is minimized, and the clothes themselves do not get wet from sweat. Formally, the entire range of functional underwear is divided into 3 types:
Heat saving
Suitable for people with low to medium physical activity who live in areas with a cold climate. It is made using a special technology of cellular or volumetric weaving of fabric, due to which the air gap between the body and the fabric increases and the heat is very well retained inside. Compared to sports underwear, they are denser and therefore not suitable for outdoor activities and intense workouts.
Moisture-wicking (functional)
It removes excess moisture from the skin surface due to wider pores, and with it sweat particles, due to which the body temperature is kept at a certain level, and moisture is constantly removed outside. As in well-known advertising, it is always dry and warm. Made entirely of synthetic materials that cannot absorb water.
Hybrid
The most popular form, in which both heat is retained and sweat is removed. Such two-layer sets are chosen by athletes, army men, lovers of outdoor activities, winter fishing, etc. Due to the excellent air exchange, the combination of natural and synthetic materials, the thermal underwear is very light, ideally repeats the anatomy, very comfortable to wear under any physical activity.
In fact, standard thermal underwear is “unisex” clothing, that is, it can look equally good on men and women. But there are a number of gender-specific clothing types that differ significantly.
Usually, a men's thermo is made in a sporty style, completely repeats the contours of the body, outlining the necessary places in relief. Particular protection goes to their feet, since it is they who lose heat in winter. Emphasis is placed on 100% moisture removal, since men sweat more during exercise.
X-Bionic
The specialists of the Swiss-Italian company X-Bionic use their own technologies in the production of clothing, aimed at improving the work of muscles and heart, to ensure maximum comfort during active and hard sports. The X-Bionic design takes into account the anatomical features of the body, instantly evaporates moisture and retains exactly the heat that is needed without the slightest effort on the part of the body. Even the design is made in a futuristic style.
Available in 5 main lines:
- RADIACTOR - summer and winter with body heat screening. Delicate, double weaving technology, reflects heat in both directions - it is cool in summer, warm in winter;
- ENERGIZER MK2 - a universal series for everyday wear and outdoor activities;
- ENERGY ACCUMULATOR - for athletes;
- ENERGY ACCUMULATOR EXTRA WARM - for winter sports and recreation;
- INVENT - everyday wear, medium activity.
Clothes are expensive - a complete set costs an average of 13,000 rubles, but it is designed for at least 5 years.
Liod
The line is mainly represented by unisex models, but also includes a special series for men and women (all two-tone models), as well as a Drop series with a low size (158-172 cm).
All models of this line are made of exactly the same material - polypropylene fabric (145 g / m2), which provides the most effective moisture removal, bacteriostatic properties, low weight and easy maintenance. The manufacturer gives a 5-year warranty for all products. Women's and men's models have similar properties, that is, you need to choose according to design, size and external characteristics.
So, for example, for daily wear, the option without a collar is suitable so that it is not visible from under the clothes. For relaxation - sleeveless sweatshirts, shorts. For difficult weather conditions - with a high collar and long sleeves.
The set will cost 10,000 rubles.
In the women's versions, the focus is on comfort and appearance. Excellent protection in the direction of the pants - the thickened layer of the pelvic region protects the reproductive organs, which often suffer from cold. If the masculine is often made in a strict and sporty style, then the feminine is distinguished by a variety of colors, finishes, and cuts. There are standard underpants with a sweater, molded bodysuit, separate leggings, mini-shorts. And the last difference is the percentage of wool is higher in order to be softer and more pleasant to wear.
Decathlon
The French company produces its own line of Warm and Light underwear, which in terms of functionality is not inferior to global manufacturers, and in terms of price it successfully competes even with the Chinese. Stylish design, bright colors, repetition of body anatomy, seamless technology - all this ensures the huge popularity of the line.

VIDEO: How "warm" thermal underwear differs from "sports", and men's, from women's
With the arrival of winter time and low temperatures, the question is always relevant, how to warm yourself, protect your body from the cold. This question also arises before fans of active winter recreation and sports. Here modern light industry comes to the rescue, which has long been improved in such a form of warming clothing as thermal underwear. This item of clothing will definitely add comfort to everyone's life.
Thermal underwear was originally clothing only for athletes, which provided them with comfort in movement and the removal of excess moisture. Today, there is this element of clothing in the wardrobe of a large number of consumers. The main function of thermal underwear is to retain heat and remove moisture from the surface of the body.
The peculiarity of this kind of underwear is that it is very elastic and is a second skin close to the body. This is a very important nuance, because if the underwear is not enough to fit the figure, the effect from it will be defective. Therefore, when purchasing thermal underwear, you definitely need to try it on, and if there is no such possibility, buy strictly in accordance with the measurements.
Here, for example, what the size grid for the selection of thermal underwear for women looks like.
| Thermal underwear size | Height, see | Top length (sweaters), see. | Bottom length (trousers), cm. | Sleeve length, cm. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 42-44 | 152-158 | 68 | 95 | 60 |
| 44-46 | 158-164 | 70 | 100 | 61 |
| 46-48 | 164-170 | 72 | 105 | 63 |
| 48-50 | 170-176 | 75 | 110 | 65 |
| 50-52 | 176-182 | 77 | 115 | 67 |
| 52-54 | 176-182 | 79 | 116 | 9 |
| 54-56 | 176-182 | 82 | 118 | 71 |
As a rule, there is a small percentage of lycra in the material of thermal underwear. It is for these reasons that it often does not have internal seams and is hypoallergenic in order to eliminate skin irritation.
The material of thermal underwear is always combined and includes both natural and synthetic fabrics. It is due to natural materials (wool, cashmere, acrylic, cotton) that thermal underwear warms the body in bad weather. And thanks to synthetics (polypropylene, polyester), moisture does not linger on the body.
Types of thermal underwear
- Warming. This is the type that is suitable for daily wear during the cold season. Such underwear will warm you in frosty and windy weather while walking or waiting for transport. The composition of this type of thermal underwear is represented mainly by natural fabrics (wool, cotton) with an admixture of synthetics. Thermal underwear creates a small space between the body and the underwear through a special weave that provides warmth. But, it is worth considering the fact that with increased activity, pleasant tight-fitting underwear will get wet and cause a lot of discomfort.
- Moisture-wicking. This type of underwear is used mainly by athletes, because its main function is to maintain temperature balance and remove sweat from the body surface. Such underwear is lightweight. Fabrics in its manufacture are used exclusively synthetic, because they do not absorb the moisture released during increased loads. But they absorb the smell very well, which is a significant drawback. The most comfortable for sports will be models that include a fabric such as IsoTherm.
- Universal. A hybrid type of thermal underwear that combines both a thermal saving function and a moisture removal function. Such underwear is ideal for active activities, such as winter fishing, skiing, mountaineering, hunting, etc., universally, underwear combines both natural and synthetic fibers, due to which it is multi-layered.
How to wear and care for your laundry
Thermal underwear, be it for women or men, should be invisible under the clothes. Preference should be given to such items of clothing as bodysuits, underpants, turtlenecks, leggings. However, sometimes it is enough to throw only a windbreaker over a thermal turtleneck to go out for a walk. Here it is worth paying attention to the labeling when buying linen.
- Microweight. This type of underwear is more suitable for sports, it does not have a special thermal effect.
- Lightweight. This type of underwear will protect you in the first cold weather.
- Midweight. This linen will keep you warm even in real cold weather.
- Heavyweight... Well, this is already "heavy artillery", when the frost is already quite fierce. Ideal for winter fishing.
You need to pay attention to the care of the linen. If we are talking about everyday thermal underwear, it needs to be washed weekly. A little less often when it comes to thermal underwear with antibacterial inserts. Thermal underwear care should be delicate, so you should choose the appropriate mode on the washing machine or wash the thermal underwear by hand. Washing temperature should not exceed 40 degrees. Do not soak, squeeze and dry for a long time directly on the battery. Washing should be done without softening or bleach.
