How Does Thermal Clothing Keep You Warm?
Thermal clothing keeps you warm by trapping air close to your body and preventing heat loss.
It is crafted from materials like polyester, merino wool, fleece, or down, which are excellent for insulation and moisture-wicking.
Trapping Air
The fabric forms an insulating layer by trapping air, which acts as a poor conductor of heat. This helps prevent heat from escaping through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Wicking Away Moisture
Thermal clothing is breathable and absorbs sweat from the skin, helping to keep you dry and warm.
Regulating Body Temperature
While thermal clothing keeps you warm in cold conditions, it is also breathable enough to avoid overheating during physical activity.
Design Features
Some thermal garments include panels or zones that offer additional warmth to areas such as your chest, back, and knees.
“It's early days, but this seems to be a great value for money purchase,” another commented.
“Well-constructed and soft to the touch. Cozy and comfortable to use.
“So far, I am completely satisfied with my purchase.”
