Types and materials
Thermal underwear is divided into varieties depending on the task that it performs.
- Heat saving... Sewing is made from materials with a bulky weaving of threads, which contributes to the formation of mini-pockets from the air, which reduce heat loss.
Such underwear is great for everyday wear.

- Moisture wicking or functional... It differs from the previous type in that it is thinner, but it removes moisture very well.
It is usually chosen by people who actively spend time outdoors (skating and skiing, snowboarding, etc.).

- Hybrid... As the name implies, such underwear combines the functions of the above two: warms and removes moisture. The best models consist of two layers: moisture-permeable inside, and insulating outside.

How to choose?
And finally, we will give some tips for choosing.
- If you plan to wear thermal underwear every day, give preference to cotton with a small amount of synthetic threads, thin or medium weight. Give preference to heat-saving underwear.
- If you go outdoors in winter but don't move too much, opt for low activity thermal underwear with a high wool content.
- If you, on the other hand, are a winter sports enthusiast, take a look at hybrid blended products. The optimal combination is polypropylene fabric and natural wool, but you can also choose polyester with cotton.
- Hiking? Feel free to wear moisture-wicking thermal underwear that won't let you sweat, but will keep you warm.
In spring and autumn, that is, when it is not too cold, instead of leggings and longsleeves, you can limit yourself to a T-shirt and thermal shorts.
