Best thermal underwear - Top 9

Today, you do not need to put on a "hundred clothes" so as not to freeze in cold weather. Easy, 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

Type of thermal underwear

To layered clothing pleased its owner, you need to choose it strictly according to its purpose. Thermal underwear can be:

• sports, or moisture absorbing. It is designed for active physical activity in the fresh air.
• everyday or heat saving. Its main function is to keep the body warm, it is also suitable for non-intensive physical exertion.
• hybrid. Combines the properties of the two previous types by combining materials with different characteristics.

By cut and design underwear is divided into men's, women's and unisex. Child thermal underwear stands apart: it is subject to increased requirements for comfort and heat-saving properties. Manufacturers, as a rule, produce three types of baby clothes: 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. Cotton and wool are used for everyday underwear, which have high heat-saving properties, but they take moisture away worse and wear out faster. The warmest underwear is made from merino sheep wool, but when choosing 100% wool underwear, you should make sure that it does not prick the body!

To improve consumer characteristics, silk and bamboo fibers are added to the composition of thermal underwear. The linen with the mixed properties (hybrid) has the mixed structure: natural fibers plus synthetic in different proportions, most often 50/50.

Important: thermal underwear is not a hot-water bottle, but a convenient way to remove moisture from the skin and maintain body heat. Without the “right” outerwear (membrane suit and, if necessary, fleece poddev, polartek) thermal underwear will not work as effectively as stated by the manufacturer.

Manufacturers of quality thermal underwear

When choosing the best thermal underwear, you need to understand that to evaluate "by eye" the presence of high technology in the product you will not succeed. Therefore, the Price Expert advises, instead of inexpensive products of one-day firms, to give preference to well-known brands that have been operating in 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's, women's, children's. The most popular brands: Norveg (Germany) and Guahoo (Finland-China) - you can find offers for the whole family and any situation.

The principle “the more expensive the better” when choosing thermal underwear often works, but not always. In an inexpensive segment, there are also quite good models, for example, casual underwear. Comazo (Germany) and sports Brubeck (Poland). But Russian manufacturers still have nothing to boast of: their cheap thermal underwear in fact often turns out to be ordinary underwear with no special properties. The only exception is products. Redfox and "Alloy».
