In winter, it is not so easy to look feminine, because at this time you should dress warmly. In this case, thermal tights will help.
Features, pros and cons
Thermal tights protect your feet from exposure to cold air. They can be made both from natural fabrics and from synthetics. This allows the product to retain its original appearance for a rather long time: the fabric is not subject to stretching and spools do not form on it.
Manufacturers for the production of thermal stockings use materials such as:
- cotton;
- cashmere;
- lycra.
The principle of thermal underwear consists in the removal of moisture and sweat from the body. As a result, a peculiar air layer is formed, which allows you to feel comfort in any weather.
There are no women's tights in which any representative of the fair sex will feel equally comfortable. When choosing, you need to take into account the characteristics of your body. For example, for women suffering from excessive sweating, synthetic tights are well suited, and for ladies with dry skin - models made of cotton with the inclusion of wool. The proportion of synthetics should be small.
Thermal tights have their advantages and disadvantages. The benefits include the following features.
- Hypoallergenicity. Such things do not cause negative reactions on the skin. The products can be used for very sensitive skin and for diseases that are dermatological in nature. In addition, due to its hypoallergenicity, tights can be used for children of any age.
- Lack of discomfort. Despite the fact that some products are made of synthetics, they are comfortable for the skin, do not absorb moisture, but bring it out.
- Thermal insulation. Thermal tights do not warm, but retain natural heat. This action is caused by hollow fibers located in the tissue structure.
- Protection against wind and humidity. The material is not blown and does not leak moisture. This completely eliminates the danger of hypothermia, the appearance of colds and negative skin reactions. Other clothing items can be worn over tights.
The disadvantage of thermal stockings is their high cost.

With fairly frequent falls on ice, tights remain dry.
Selection tips
When choosing thermal tights, one should proceed from the particular lifestyle of a particular person. If a person is active, then products made of synthetics that are good at sweating are more suitable for him. Natural tissues with increased loads simply absorb sweat and adhere to the body, while the cold will feel stronger, because all the forces of the body will be thrown to evaporate moisture. With a more relaxed lifestyle, it is better to take tights with a high content of natural fibers. Such products are suitable for people with high sensitivity skin.
