Along with other types of sports equipment, special thermal clothing for exercise plays an important role in sports. Since playing sports entails increased sweating, increased demands are placed on sportswear.
Thermal underwear is a special type of clothing that can retain heat in cold weather and wick moisture away from the body in cold weather. It prevents heat loss and hypothermia of the body, protecting it from possible colds. In other words, thermal underwear does not allow you to freeze or sweat.
Woolen underwear has some similar properties, but it is fragile and wears out quickly. Synthetic materials invented not so long ago are superior to wool in heat conservation and moisture removal.
Microfiber, lycra, polypropylene, fleece, polyester, coolray and 3D lycra are manufactured using modern technologies and are a material with a complex structure that perfectly absorbs moisture and releases it.
Thermal underwear with the addition of natural fibers removes moisture a little worse, but is more pleasant to the body. Some types of thermal clothing are made from different types of fabrics, and thermal underwear for different sports has its own characteristics.
Types of thermal clothing
Different types of thermal underwear are used for sports in cold weather: for hockey, figure skating, skiing, mountaineering, windsurfing and cycling.
For example, figure skaters need thin thermal underwear, surfers need quick-drying ones, skiers need protection from hypothermia, especially the groin area.
- Thermal clothing includes:
- thermo ;
- thermal pants;
- thermal shorts;
- thermal jumper;
- thermal overalls;
- thermal suits;
- thermal dresses;
- thermal body;

- thermal leggings;
- thermal tights;
- thermal gloves;
- thermal scarves.
Properties of thermal clothing
Thermal clothing is not only made from a special kind of materials, it is also created according to certain rules. The cut of thermal clothing is usually anatomical, that is, it completely follows the contours of the body, and the seams are external and flat.
This is what protects against chafing, while allowing you to dynamically move your arms and legs during active physical activity. Exclusive brands produce thermal clothing that creates the effect of a second skin, that is, it fits as closely as possible to the body.
The principle of multi-layering in the manufacture of thermal clothing allows you to achieve the desired effect. Typically, sports thermal clothing consists of three layers: the bottom layer absorbs moisture; medium – retains heat and removes moisture; the upper one protects from adverse climatic and weather conditions.
How to choose thermal clothing for sports
The choice of thermal underwear depends on the functional purpose of the clothing. If thermal underwear for everyday wear should keep you warm, then sports thermal clothing should first of all cope with the removal of moisture from the body, and only then, if necessary, warm you up.
That is why everyday thermal clothing consists mainly of wool and a small part of synthetic fibers, and sports thermal underwear has minor inclusions of natural fibers and is sewn from synthetic materials. 
Another function of sports thermal clothing is the elimination of unpleasant odors, for which silver ions and ceramic particles are used in the fabric. If thermal underwear is chosen incorrectly, the benefits of sportswear will be completely eliminated.
When choosing thermal clothing for sports, you need to take into account the temperature conditions. In the summer, thermal underwear is taken entirely from synthetic fabrics with an enhanced moisture-wicking function - such underwear is suitable for water sports. For winter types, multi-layered linen or fabric containing natural fibers is required.
In enclosed spaces there is no wind and the temperature is constant, which makes it possible to use thermal clothing only with a moisture-wicking function. If outdoors, you need to take into account the strength of the wind and different temperature conditions.
For such cases, windproof underwear (usually marked Windstopper or Windproof) is suitable.
The degree of physical activity also determines the choice of sports thermal underwear, which is selected depending on low, moderate or.
Caring for thermal clothing
If you are in doubt about choosing the right size, take the smaller one. Thermal underwear stretches well, and thanks to the flat seams it is invisible under clothing. Thermal underwear can be washed either in a machine or by hand at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees.
Detergents containing chlorine and bleach are not recommended. Thermal clothing should not be wrung out, except with your hands and lightly. And, of course, you can't iron it. 
High-quality thermal underwear has no restrictions on the number of washes, it does not shrink or stretch. It is recommended to wash thermal clothing frequently when playing sports, since in a dirty state it will not be able to fully remove moisture and perform other functions.
Thermal clothing during fitness allows you to maintain a good skin microclimate and keep it dry. A real thermal item does not allow moisture from the outside to pass through and does not even change color when water gets on it.
Thermal clothing for weight loss
To remove extra pounds, you need to regularly work out a good sweat in the gym. Slimming underwear with a sauna effect is often used.
Slimming clothing with a thermal effect can speed up the process significantly, especially if neoprene clothing is used. However, thermal underwear of this kind requires careful use and is recommended only for healthy people.
Pros of using neoprene thermal clothing
- Thermal underwear usually affects precisely the desired areas that are difficult to correct with the help of sports and. There is a kind of local stimulation of the processes necessary for weight loss in the area and the back side.
- Thermal clothing activates fluid circulation, eliminating stagnation in fat deposits and reducing the volume of fat cells. Lipocytes begin to produce energy, and their volume decreases, which entails a decrease in and.
- If you apply it under special thermal clothing, you can quickly feel the disappearance of the “orange peel” in problem areas. Active substances designed to fight cellulite enhance their effects under the influence of the thermal effect.
- If you regularly exercise for 40 minutes in neoprene clothing and use nutrients (creams with hyaluronic acid, vitamins A and C, retinol), then the effect of fitness can be compared to a salon exercise - this exercise increases skin elasticity. But you can use neoprene shorts and T-shirts for no more than two hours a day.
- Exercising in thermal clothing can be a test for the heart and blood vessels: clothing with a sauna effect doubles the load on the heart, dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the heart. Therefore, it is better not to use thermal underwear if you have problems with the cardiovascular system.
- Neoprene clothing can cause swelling in the reflexogenic areas as fluid can accumulate in the areas under the clothing.
- Despite thermal clothing made from breathable materials and antibacterial impregnations, it is imperative to monitor the condition of the skin when using thermal underwear. Scratches, cuts, rashes and dermatitis exclude training in thermal clothing.
- Thermal clothing increases sweating, which leads to dehydration if fluid reserves in the body are not replenished in time. You should not wear multiple pieces of thermal clothing during training and you should drink plenty of water.
- Neoprene T-shirts can be dangerous for women's breasts, since prolonged compression increases the risk of mastopathy, and increased body temperature under a neoprene T-shirt can cause problems with the mammary glands.
Thermal clothing itself does not break down fat; it only helps to reduce body volume in the right places in combination with exercise and proper nutrition. Thermal clothing for sports requires compliance with specific rules for wearing and caring for it.
Failure to comply with these rules will simply nullify all the thermal functions of clothing.
Thermal underwear is one of the main elements in clothing for sports and outdoor activities, designed to control your heat exchange. How comfortable you will be during sports, and therefore what results you can achieve, largely depends on how well the thermal underwear is selected.
Together with an AlpIndustry expert Yura Serebryakov Let's figure out how to choose thermal underwear that suits your conditions.
The principle of layering in clothing
In clothing for sports and outdoor activities, it is customary to adhere to the principle of multi-layering or, in other words, the concept of three layers. Thermal underwear is the first, base layer and is designed to control heat transfer. Thermal underwear should fit snugly to the body (it is often called a second skin) to ensure proper thermoregulation, but at the same time not squeeze muscles or restrict movement. After thermal underwear comes a second, middle layer of clothing designed to retain heat, for example, fleece or a down sweater. Then comes the third, outer layer, which also removes excess moisture, allows the body to breathe under clothing and protects from external influences, precipitation and wind. For example, a jacket with a Gore-Tex membrane.
In order for the equipment to work correctly and create comfortable conditions rather than cause inconvenience, you must carefully select each layer and clearly understand for what tasks and conditions you are choosing clothing. Let's start by choosing a base.
What is thermal underwear and what is it intended for?
The main function of thermal underwear is to control heat transfer by removing moisture. When you sweat during intense movement, thermal underwear does not accumulate sweat, but removes excess moisture from the body and prevents you from “cooking” under your clothes. If you find yourself in cold conditions and/or not actively moving, thermal underwear can help keep you warm. It is this functionality that distinguishes specially designed thermal underwear from ordinary cotton and synthetic clothing.
For the manufacture of thermal underwear, technologically advanced synthetic fibers, high-quality soft wool, most often merino wool, or a combination of these materials are used. The cut of thermal underwear often involves combining materials with different composition, density and properties (ventilation, insulation, muscle support) in different areas.
Composition: thermal underwear made of wool, synthetics and combined materials
Wool, in general, has better thermal insulation properties than synthetics, but absorbs moisture more actively. During intense exercise (running, freeride), this will become a noticeable disadvantage: a person sweats a lot, thermal underwear absorbs a large amount of moisture, which does not have time to be removed and lingers in the clothes - the person begins to “cook” and experience discomfort. Therefore, for intense loads, it is preferable to choose synthetic thermal underwear that will properly remove moisture and control heat exchange, preventing overheating and hypothermia. If you are facing less intense loads, passive rest, being in very low temperatures, you are looking for thermal underwear for the city or get cold quickly, give preference to a base layer made of wool, with its good thermal insulation properties.
Please note that in some cases, wool thermal underwear can cause irritation, especially on sensitive children's skin. Therefore, we recommend that adults try on clothes before purchasing, and for children choose synthetic models.
Men's, women's and children's thermal underwear
In general, women's and men's thermal underwear do not differ much from each other. The cut of specialized women's models takes into account the characteristics of the female figure and, since girls usually get colder, has more insulated zones.
Synthetics are often used to make children's thermal underwear, because wool can cause discomfort to a child's sensitive skin. As a rule, the main task of children's thermal underwear is not to remove moisture, but to retain heat, so it is usually denser than “adult” models.
In general, thermal underwear models differ from each other in composition, compression properties, recommended temperature conditions and design features. When choosing, you should be guided by several points:
- Exercise intensity / high, medium or low activity
- Temperature Range
- Your individual cold tolerance
Temperature range of thermal underwear
As a rule, manufacturers indicate the recommended temperature regime and preferred types of activity in the name or description of the product. For example, the Swiss brand Odlo divides its thermal underwear models into several lines:
- Ultra-light thermal underwear from the Cool line is designed for the hottest weather
- Models marked Light are designed for summer sports; these are lightweight clothes made of thin fabric, the main task of which is to wick moisture away from the body
- Warm - insulated thermal underwear for cold weather and winter sports
- Models marked X-Warm are designed for the coldest temperatures
Choosing thermal underwear depending on activity and intensity of exercise
First of all, when choosing thermal underwear, you should focus on the degree of activity: whether it will be high, with intense constant loads (freeride, trail running), medium (mountain climbing, hiking) or low (walking in the city, fishing). The main task of thermal underwear for outdoor activities and sports is to control heat exchange by timely removing moisture from the body to prevent overheating or hypothermia. With low activity, sweating is less, so the main task of thermal underwear for passive recreation is to retain heat.
For low activity It is recommended to choose thermal underwear made of wool, for example, Bergans. It retains heat better than synthetics and does not lose its properties over time; it is well suited for everyday wear. It is also worth considering synthetic thermal underwear. Its advantages are density, good moisture removal and ease of care.
Thermal underwear for active recreation and sports can be divided into compression and non-compression. Due to compression, muscles are supported, blood circulation is stimulated - the muscles work correctly and are not overloaded. Such thermal underwear, as a rule, has a zonal design (X-Bionic, The North Face). Each zone of clothing is responsible for a specific process: improved moisture removal (under the arms and in the abdomen), enhanced heat retention (in the chest, lower back, shoulders), etc. At low activity, compression creates discomfort. Non-compression thermal underwear for high activity typically consists of synthetics (Odlo, Arcteryx, The North Face) or a synthetic/wool blend (Peak Performance) and performs better when you're moving. By the way, as a basic, universal thermal underwear (or, if you are buying thermal underwear for the first time), the Peak Performance model is almost an ideal option: in areas with increased sweating, synthetics are used with its good moisture-wicking properties, and in areas that freeze faster than others, wool is used with its ability to retain heat.
Generally, for hiking, trekking and mountaineering Thermal underwear of medium or high density is suitable, with good breathability and without compression. You can take two sets for the ascent: one for the ascent/assault, the second, more insulated, for a change at the base camp (or as a backup option). For winter mountaineering and high-altitude ascents, as well as for winter expeditions, you can consider Power Stretch thermal underwear: it is designed for low temperatures and can even be used as a middle layer.
For skiing, on prepared slopes or off-piste, as well as trail running and running training, you should choose compression thermal underwear. It will support the muscles and stimulate blood circulation, which is important during constant movement and intense exercise. High levels of moisture management and breathability are also important for these sports. Thermal underwear for winter sports, as a rule, has a zonal design - a combination of zones with insulation (for example, in the shoulders, chest and lower back), reinforcement (for example, in areas of increased wear, in the elbow area) and ventilation zones (in areas of increased sweating). Base layer for summer activities will have a lower density to speed up the removal of moisture from the body.
Manufacturers regularly develop models for specific sports: taking into account the specifics of the loads, their average intensity, as well as seasonality. However, choosing thermal underwear is a very individual process. It depends on your personal characteristics (how you tolerate the cold), your activity in a particular sport. For some, at -10°C in the city it’s cold even in Power Stretch thermal underwear and a down jacket; for others, a model with medium insulation will be enough for a harsh winter expedition. Some people prefer to have a separate set of thermal underwear for each type of activity, while others will choose 1-2 maximum universal sets for all occasions.

Let's start with a trivial piece of advice that we all often neglect - follow the manufacturer's recommendations. They can usually be found on a sewn-in tag on the garment or in the included instructions, as well as on the brand’s website. There are also some general rules for caring for thermal underwear. The base layer is in contact with the skin, actively absorbs sweat and odors and therefore requires regular care: |
- You will add strength, tone, and motor skills to your muscles
- Get rid of sweating
- Experience true bodily comfort
- Protect yourself from hypothermia, overheating, fatigue
- Give a special piquancy to a strong figure. The microporous fabric is almost weightless, but is equipped with fibers that keep muscles and other male forms powerful.
Buying thermal underwear for sports means synthesizing a bright individuality and physical perfection inherent in strong personalities.
Perfection either exists or it doesn’t. The presence of a McDavid thermal mask, a thermal T-shirt with long johns, as well as anything unusual, immediately catches the eye:
- Your body looks slim and fit in thermal underwear
- Such energetic people are loved and imitated
- The beneficial effects of heat on the body are obvious
Warm up and active, you will be remembered by others, showing excellent physical condition!
How thermal underwear helps in the gym
Modern thermal underwear for sports is so comfortable that it is unlikely to be inferior to cotton pants and padded jackets. In the training room, thermal shirts, caps and thermal long johns are more functional than ever. The use of durable nanofabric in thermal underwear significantly increases its service life. It breathes, perspires, but literally repels the cold.
First of all, let's reveal a secret. The athlete is “dead” without warmed up muscles. The possibilities of an inflamed body are deep and bottomless. The body produces heat, clothing protects it. But the primary thing is underwear, its unique fabric, its unique cut.
Playing sports in winter is impossible without properly selected clothing, which should be warm enough to protect the body from severe frosts and piercing winds, but at the same time comfortable enough not to hamper or limit movement. That's why many people choose thermal underwear! Which thermal underwear should I choose, synthetic or natural? Maybe a combined option? Let's look at the pros and cons below!
Why thermal underwear?
It is almost impossible to achieve this effect without using high-quality thermal underwear, which retains heat and removes moisture. Moreover, it is the second point that is key, because during physical activity profuse sweating is inevitably observed, which, when using ordinary clothing, leads to its getting wet and an increased feeling of cold.
Thermal underwear solves exactly this problem by removing moisture from the body and at the same time remaining dry. Outwardly, it has no major differences with the traditional one, intended for everyday wear, and it is not visible under clothing.
Natural or synthetic thermal underwear?
Depending on the material, thermal underwear can be natural (wool, cotton) or synthetic (polyester, polypropylene). Very often you can find advice from various experts who categorically do not recommend purchasing underwear made from natural materials. This is justified by the fact that cotton and wool, although they have high thermal insulating qualities, are not able to solve the problem of removing moisture, which is absorbed into the fabric, takes a long time to dry and aggravates the effects of frost.
But is this statement true for absolutely all types of thermal underwear made from natural fabrics? Let's try to figure this out and find out what the features of clothing made from artificial and natural fabrics are, and for what cases each of these options is more suitable.
Synthetic thermal underwear for winter!
This category includes thermal underwear made from materials such as polyester and polypropylene, as well as mixed materials based on them. Spandex, nylon or elastane are most often used as admixtures. The industry produces a wide variety of synthetic fabrics, differing in the nuances of composition, type of weaving, strength and elasticity, level of thermal insulation, intensity of moisture removal: Eclipse, Coolmax, Polartec, PowerStretch and others.
Among the main advantages of synthetic thermal underwear it is worth highlighting:
- comfortable to wear, pleasant feeling on the skin;
- compactness and lightness;
- high wear resistance, preservation of original qualities and appearance for a long time;
- ease of washing and care in general.
But there are also some negative points:
- unpleasant odor, to eliminate which it is necessary to wash after one day of wearing;
- use in the production of artificial fibers based on petroleum products.
In winter conditions there can be various problems with thermal underwear!
When playing sports, a person inevitably begins to sweat, and a unique microclimate begins to form between his skin and underwear, characterized by a high level of humidity.
This moisture begins to condense on clothing, since moist and warm air masses are always directed to places where the temperature and humidity of the environment are lower.
If traditional clothing absorbs all this moisture, sticks to the body and then dries out for a painfully long time, then in the case of synthetic thermal underwear it happens differently: moisture passes along the surface of the artificial fibers, but is not absorbed into them.
Warm, moisture-saturated air, due to the difference in temperature and humidity levels, is pushed out, passing through microscopic cracks between the fibers.
It is also important to note that polyester with polypropylene practically does not absorb moisture (maximum - 0.4 percent of its own weight), ensuring its removal into the outer layer and fairly uniform distribution over the surface, from where it evaporates naturally into the environment.
Manufacturers are constantly working to improve the process of removing sweat from the body, developing new designs, weaving options, using various combinations of materials. Some non-standard and innovative solutions are constantly appearing, experiments are being carried out with the introduction of zones whose structure differs from the rest of the clothing.
It is also worth noting that professional models of thermal underwear are additionally treated with special chemical compounds, which improves the hydrophilic properties of the material and reduces the time for moisture removal to the outside. Typically, manufacturers declare that the substances they use are completely safe for humans, but it is still not recommended to wear such underwear all the time.
Natural thermal underwear for winter!
Most negative reviews about thermal underwear made from natural materials concern products that use cotton or regular wool. Such clothes really do not remove moisture in the best way; they get very wet and take a long time to dry, which ultimately negates their heat-saving properties.
However, modern high-quality natural thermal underwear is made mainly from a special type of wool obtained from merino sheep. This is a special breed of fine-wool sheep, the main advantage of which is the highest quality of combed wool, consisting of thin soft fibers. For many people, it was a real revelation that excellent thermal underwear can be made from wool, but in this case this is indeed the case.
Its main advantages include:
- light weight;
- not susceptible to moisture absorption;
- fairly rapid removal of moisture, maintaining thermal insulation qualities even when wet;
- high resistance to discoloration and pilling;
- Absolutely environmentally friendly: natural fibers are safe for both human health and the environment, as they are produced exclusively from renewable resources that are easily recycled or disposed of.
Disadvantages include:
- slower drying process compared to the synthetic version;
- there is a possibility of laundry shrinking after washing.
How natural thermal underwear works in winter!
The principle of operation of thermal underwear based on merino wool is fundamentally different from synthetic ones, since wool absorbs incomparably more moisture - up to 36 percent of its own weight.
However, this specific feature does not interfere with the desired process: moisture is gradually removed to the outer surface of the thermal underwear, from where it evaporates under the influence of environmental factors.
This happens primarily due to the core of the hairs, the cortex, through which the absorbed water is gradually brought to the surface due to the difference in humidity inside and outside.
Of course, in this case, many may wonder whether, due to the high level of moisture absorption by wool, there is an unpleasant feeling of wet clothes. This usually does not happen except in some cases:
- if the athlete sweats excessively, but then synthetic underwear simply will not have time to cope with its responsibilities;
- if, due to excessive environmental humidity, the laws of physics simply stop working, usually forcing internal moisture to come out.
It is interesting to note that, despite the high hydrophilicity of wool, the outer parts of the wool have water-repellent properties due to the presence of a layer of natural lanolin on them. It is thanks to this that even when wet, thermal underwear made of merino wool does not stick to the body and the athlete does not have the feeling that he is “drenched to the skin.”
At the same time, as noted above, with particularly intense sweating, neither synthetics nor wool can provide rapid moisture removal, but woolen underwear will be much more comfortable. A certain role in this is also played by such a phenomenon as the heat of sorption, which implies the release of a certain amount of heat by wool when wet, which is not observed when using artificial fibers.
Combined version of thermal underwear!
Thermal underwear made from a combination of synthetic and natural fibers, which combines the qualities of both the first and the second, is quite common. Such clothes wick away moisture well and keep you warm. The positive and negative aspects of combined thermal underwear depend on a number of factors, primarily on the proportions in which the components are used. In general, such underwear is usually an excellent option for those who do not have any special requirements and want a universal option for various occasions.
In addition to the type of material used in the production of linen, in the selection process you should pay attention to indicators such as the density and weight of the fabric. Determining and choosing in a particular case is quite simple: the lower the temperature and the less active the loads, the heavier and denser the underwear should be. And vice versa.
Most manufacturers use special markings to make it easier for buyers to choose:
- Microweight – for intense loads in warm weather conditions, well suited, for example, for running in positive temperatures.
- Lightweight is a good choice for training during the onset of cold weather.
- Midweight is the golden mean. This type of underwear is suitable for active activities in frosty weather or a more relaxing pastime in relatively warm weather.
- Heavyweight is the choice of those who engage in mountaineering and enjoy hiking in the winter.
- Polar weight - such underwear will not allow you to freeze even in the most severe frosts.
Manufacturers can also indicate the temperature conditions under which this or that thermal underwear is designed:
- Cool – for wearing in cold weather;
- Light – focused on cool weather;
- Warm – best worn in warm weather;
- Extrawarm – indispensable in hot conditions.
The right size is the key to comfort
When choosing thermal underwear to use for winter training, it is critical to determine your size correctly. This will largely determine how effectively it will work, that is, to remove moisture and keep you warm in frosty weather. The correct size will be when the underwear fits tightly to the figure, following the contours of the body in detail and without forming any folds or wrinkles.
In order not to make a mistake with the choice, it is necessary to try it on. Having put on the thing you like, you should actively move, squat, wave your arms and legs. At the same time, the underwear should not sag anywhere, gather in folds, protrude or overexpose any part of the body; no discomfort should arise in it.
Don't skimp on thermal underwear!
Of course, it is not necessary to act on the basis of the principle “the more expensive the better” and buy the most expensive underwear, but the statement that cheap cannot be of high quality in this case works one hundred percent. This fact must be taken for granted and not try to deceive yourself.
The fact is that the production of high-quality thermal underwear is carried out exclusively from high-tech expensive materials, and the actual technology for sewing it is very expensive. All this ultimately affects the price of the finished kit. And there is no point in spending money on some cheap thermal underwear, since it will not be able to provide the expected effect.
Choice of thermal underwear manufacturer!
Today there are many sports brands on the market that specialize exclusively in the production of thermal underwear or produce them in addition to their main products. The following brands are most popular in our country:
- Craft is a Swedish company that has been producing thermal underwear for almost four decades. Offers a wide range of products in various price categories.
- Norveg is one of the most popular thermal underwear brands among domestic buyers. It produces seven series of underwear, mainly in the above-average price category.
- Red Fox is a Russian company that produces two types of clothing (thin and thick) in the middle price category.
- Guahoo is a Finnish brand, one of the first to present its products on the domestic market. It produces a wide variety of thermal underwear designed for different levels of physical activity and different temperature conditions. The cost is above average.
- Comazo is a German brand specializing in the production of budget thermal underwear. This product is more suitable for everyday wear than for active training.
When choosing thermal underwear, you should focus primarily not on its appearance or cost, but on quality and functionality. Only in this case will it ensure effective removal of moisture and prevent freezing during cold weather.
