Types of thermal underwear
The main function of such linen is to maintain heat in cold weather. However, depending on the purpose, it can be divided into several types.
- Simple thermal underwear is a cotton or wool set. It perfectly retains heat.
- There are kits that not only warm well, but also remove excess moisture. They are made of special synthetic fabric.
- TM Joha's special offer is thermal underwear designed for playing sports in winter. It is made from two types of materials. The internal, in contact with the body, removes sweat, and the external retains the necessary heat, without interfering with the removal of excess moisture.
Sports in winter - myth or reality
In order for linen to meet all expectations, it must be correctly selected. If the child leads an active lifestyle and constantly conducts classes in the fresh air, then a model made of polypropylene would be an ideal option. This type of material, unlike ordinary linen, quickly removes excess moisture. It is such a children's thermal underwear that will be indispensable in long trips, mountaineering and other sports, during which there are no conditions for a frequent change of clothes.
It is also worth noting that such products can be used in "wet" sports, for example, sailing, kayaking, etc. When water gets on the surface, polypropylene practically does not absorb it and dries quickly. Replace this material can polyester, but it is still inferior in quality.
Shops offer a new collection of Joha - thermal underwear for summer sports. However, in these products, the fabric is less dense, since the function of heat conservation is no longer needed.
For snowboarding and skiing, it is better to use models made of two types of material, for example, polypropylene and wool, since during such activities the intensity of the load alternates and there is the possibility of changing clothes. Such a set will freely remove excess moisture and perfectly retain heat, however, after 6-7 hours, the linen needs to be changed, since the natural fabric strongly absorbs sweat, creating discomfort.
Thermal underwear for every day
Any kit is suitable for the daily life of the child, but it is better to dwell on the choice of linen made from natural materials, since the function of moisture removal is not needed. For a cold winter, it is better to choose products of denser weaving. If the kit is made of wool, you need to take care that the models are especially soft. There is also thermal underwear that does not absorb body odor.
Choose the optimal size
When buying thermal underwear, it is always necessary to try on the kit for the child, and not rely on the size indicated on the label. For classes in clothes, tight-fitting products will be an ideal option, in other cases, more free models will do.
Important: when purchasing products of various companies, including Joha, children's thermal underwear cannot be taken for growth, since it will not be able to fully perform the basic functions.
A correctly selected product does not create a feeling of discomfort when moving. For a quality product, seams and labels are usually made on the front side, so they will not rub during wear.
Care Tips
In order for the purchased set of linen to last as long as possible, you must follow the recommendations for caring for it.
- Washing should be done manually or in an automatic machine, only in delicate mode.
- Water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees.
- When washing, it is better to use a mild care product, because the aggressive composition of most powders destroys the structure of the fabric.
- Drying underwear is necessary by spreading it on the surface at room temperature, without additionally using any heat sources.
- In no case should polypropylene products be placed on the battery or ironed, since as a result of exposure to temperatures above sixty degrees the material will irretrievably lose its quality.
