Thermal underwear is an ideal choice of clothing for those women who want to look beautiful without dressing in layers. However, in search of the best solution, modern fashionistas often forget that the main task of thermal clothing is not so much to warm the body, but to create the optimal microclimate, so that a person does not freeze and does not sweat. Not every woman knows exactly what it is like thermal underwear looks like. From the material in this article you will learn how it happens, why it works differently and how to choose the right option.

Thermal underwear was once invented for athletes. His main task was to warm the body from the cold. Today, this clothing has a lot of varieties, and therefore differs in purpose. Depending on the production technology, it can be designed for warm weather, cold, frost and off-season.

The prefix "thermo" for many is associated with a sign of thermal heating. Many unscrupulous sellers use the ignorance of customers and sell them the most ordinary underwear, convincing that it has the right warming effect.

It is bought for relaxing walks in the cold, playing sports or climbing.. In it you can go jogging, snowboarding, cycling, skiing and ice skating.

When the body releases sweat, additional energy is expended. Compared to plain underwear textile of thermal clothing does not absorb sweat, which excludes freezing of the body. The material evaporates the sweat, brings it out, due to which the body remains dry and does not spend energy on heating after removing moisture. The body temperature does not change, it does not cool down, even if a person put on a single-layer product.

However, women's thermal underwear at all not universal. The air gap of products of different lines varies. The more voluminous it is, the more air it contains, the larger the layer of optimal body temperature and, therefore, the warmer the clothes.

Products of this type are very thin, not visible under clothes, but at the same time they will not allow the body to overheat or freeze.

Women's thermal underwear is different. In the lines of manufacturers you can buy corrective, tightening, openwork, dense underwear with thermal effect. Other brands specialize in the production of products for pregnant and overweight women, while others produce an assortment for women motorcyclists, skiers, and a line for fitness.

The assortment of winter thermal clothing has many items. These can be individual elements of the wardrobe, for example, warm sportswear. thermal jackets, thermal pants, thermal leggings, thermal tights and thermal socks.

In addition to sports models, on store shelves there are models for everyday wear, as well as heated products. The last line is distinguished by the type of body warming.

The IR heating system can have conventional and remote control.

By type of effect, the entire assortment of thermal underwear can be divided into 3 groups: heat-saving, drainage and hybrid. Each type of thermal product has its own characteristics. This is what determines the properties and effect of thermoregulation.That is why some models warm the body, while others do not.

Women's thermal underwear can be classified according to the type of physical activity, which are minimal, high and medium. Small loads mean sleep or calm movement on the street. In this case, the woman sweats extremely rarely, which is why moisture removal is not required.

This laundry is marked with Comfort, Soft, Winter, Lifestyle or Cotton. Modifications for increased load imply active winter sports at sub-zero temperatures. This is a sportswear for women who sweat during training. Mixed thermal clothing is acquired when it is planned to alternate active activities and relaxation.

As for sports underwear, he has his own classification. For example, for skiing they take hygroscopic and soft underwear with reinforcements in the groin or chest. For figure skating or speed skating, models of a thin type with an ideal body fit are bought. If the temperature in the street varies from 0 to +15 degrees, you need to buy models with markings Cool or Outdoor.

Rulers Zero Extreme and ThermoLine are designed to be worn at temperatures from +10 to -10 degrees. Thermal underwear marked Wool Soft or Warm is considered winter, it is worn when the temperature outside is -5 to -25 degrees. Extra Warm is characterized by increased density, this is a two-layer clothing that is worn at temperatures up to -30 degrees.

This line includes the so-called heating underwear. Sew it from a special high-tech textile with a waffle structure. The fabric has air pockets, thanks to which the body heat is retained. Heat-saving thermal underwear is made from natural and synthetic fibers.

It is intended for cold weather and is suitable for daily wear, long walks in the fresh winter air. but it is not suitable for skiing at all, not suitable for running and snowboarding. Active sports in these clothes are fraught with heat stroke.

Heat-saving underwear has a high level of thermal insulation. It is pleasant to the touch, does not irritate the skin of the body, does not prick and does not cause an allergic reaction. It can be worn in winter when the temperature drops to -20 ... 25 degrees.

Dehumidifier products are sewn mainly from artificial materials. Their main purpose is to remove excess moisture (sweat) from the body to the outside. Synthetics do not absorb moisture, and therefore immediately removes it, so the microclimate between the tissue and the body does not change.

In such clothes you can engage in various sports. It is worn in summer, winter and in the offseason. This is a thin thermal underwear, its thickness differs from heat-saving analogues. It is comfortable in it, it does not rub the skin, replaces multilayer clothing, is characterized by high strength of weaving threads and durability.

Among the synthetic fibers used in production, it is worth noting polypropylene, polyester, lycra, nylon, microplush, microfiber, fleece. Each type of fiber has its own characteristics, which is why textiles differ in different tactile sensations and properties. Lycra and nylon stretch perfectly, polyester is durable and practical. Fleece, microfleece linen is very soft and warm, as well as microfiber products.

Choosing one or another option, you need to find a middle ground. The composition of the ideal thermal underwear should be mixed. For example, even wool linen should have a certain percentage of artificial threads, otherwise it will not remove moisture. However, a summer cotton thermo-shirt should also have inclusions of artificial fibers.

For example, the key of them is the purpose: models for walking, playing sports and options for outdoor activities vary. There is no universal thermal underwear that can be worn both in summer and in winter. For each season, take specific underwear with a certain effect and characteristics.

Under a dress or jeans, it is better to purchase thin single-layer underwear. For older people, warm thermal underwear can be recommended. When buying, you must try on. You need to take the product strictly to the size of a particular woman. The fit should be optimally tight, but not tight.

You can not buy products with a small neck and armholes, after washing the laundry will sit down a little. Do not take a product larger than necessary size.

For summer, single-layer options or products with reinforcement in the areas of greatest load are suitable. Anatomical models are suitable for sports (for example, leggings with an elastic waistband and cuffs on the bottom of the legs, a T-shirt with a supporting effect).

Thermal underwear care implies Hand wash with regular detergent. In addition, certain things can be washed in the machine, choosing a gentle mode. Do not use bleach or stain remover. A liquid detergent or even soap is suitable for washing.

Such clothes can be dried naturally, they cannot be hung on ropes, put on a battery, or dried on a heater. You can not iron thermal underwear.

You need to wear thermal underwear on a naked body, otherwise it will not have the desired effect. The structure of the material only works if the material is in contact with the surface of the body. However, depending on the type of laundry It can be worn on thin underwear. Thermal socks are worn on bare feet: if you put them on other socks, they will neither warm nor remove excess moisture.
