How to choose?
There are a large number of varieties of thermal underwear on sale, including children's ones, and therefore, before making a purchase, it is necessary to study the market and decide which model is suitable for a specific purpose. For everyday wear, it's best to choose T-shirts and pants made from natural fabrics such as cotton and wool. These materials are skin-friendly and also have the ability to keep warm. For the winter cold, it is better to give preference to a mixture of the above fabrics with synthetics. Such clothes will not only warm you in subzero temperatures, but also absorb sweat.
If it is decided to purchase thermal underwear for the summer season, then it is wiser to take synthetics. Such material dries quickly, preventing sweating, and just as quickly removes moisture from the skin. It is necessary to mention the ability of clothes to eliminate unpleasant odors thanks to a special antibacterial treatment. For an active pastime in the fresh air, which does not imply a change of clothes, a polypropylene set is ideal.
Such thermal clothing is relevant for both winter and summer sports, even those related to water. For snowboarding, it is better to choose pants and a sweatshirt made of wool and polypropylene.
In general, when purchasing a kit, it is recommended to immediately try it on the child, not relying only on the numbers indicated on the label... If you plan to play sports in thermal underwear, then it is better to select tight-fitting products, and slightly loose models are also suitable for everyday wear.
However, in no case should you buy such clothes for growth, otherwise the full functionality will be lost. The kit should not create discomfort during movements or somehow limit them, including rubbing the skin with labels and seams. A thermal shirt must definitely protect the lower back, without exposing this important area when bending over.
In general, for the primary choice of thermal underwear it is more convenient to use a fairly simple classification. The first type of clothing is heat-saving. Such warm underwear is made of wool with cotton, and the amount of cotton does not exceed 40%. Clothing allows the baby to stay warm even if he does not move, and therefore is suitable for newborns and children under the age of two.
The next type of thermal clothing is moisture-wicking. It is made of synthetic materials and is suitable for active children who play sports or who are constantly on the move. This underwear is recommended for wearing only on the street with obligatory dressing at home.
Finally, there is also a mixed thermal underwear, made from a combination of natural and synthetic fabrics.
Clothing can be single-layer, when wool with silk or wool with Polartec are used for manufacturing, as well as two-layer - made of wool and synthetics.
How to wear and care?
As mentioned above, thermal underwear for children should be in size and fit fairly tightly around the body.
It is quite simple to take care of such clothes - washing should be carried out at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees. You can use both regular soap and washing powder. If the thermo set is washed in a machine, then it is better to choose the delicate mode or "Wool", and there are no special restrictions for hand washing. It is necessary to wring out the laundry without twisting, and dry only on a conventional dryer or simply on a horizontal surface.
If you put things on a battery or send them to a special drying machine, they will be spoiled. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to boil or iron thermal underwear, since at temperatures exceeding 60 degrees, all the useful characteristics of the fabric are destroyed. In addition, thermal underwear should be regularly ventilated, preferably every day, and washed at most once a week.... Do not use bleach or other chemical cleaners, especially those containing chlorine.... Brushed linen must be turned out before washing.
