Women’s Cold Underwear Guide
Winter is here once again, and for many of women that means months of trying to figure out how to walk outside and not completely freeze while still looking stylish. Wool sweaters, long sleeves, fuzzy hats, so many clothing options available to counteract the cold. But as is often the case we share a tendency to focus on what is seen and not what actually keeps us warmest.
That’s right; to battle the winter, it’s all about layering. An oft overlooked measure, how exactly does one choose how to get the maximum comfort and utility out of their cold weather underwear? We developed this handy guide to tackle that very question and get you in the best thermal underwear possible.
Understanding Layers
Without a doubt, the base is the most important layer. Initial thought might bring focus to getting the base as warm as possible, but the best thermal underwear should also be quick-drying and made of a breathable fabric that is comfortable. Cotton should be avoided while synthetics and wools should be embraced. For instance, the Athleisure Solid Legging is a jogger’s base layer that does its job of using moisture-wicking to keep you dry and covered when facing the elements, allowing the mid and outer layers to supply the bulk of the warmth.
The mid layer is vital to any outdoor lover’s warmth as the primary insulator. Materials like wool, down or proper warm synthetics are popular. This layer should be easily removable as physical exertion and temperature increases generate warmth.
Finally, the outer layer is the frontline of keeping warm. This layer is all about protecting the base and mid from the elements, while providing additional warmth and ease of movement. This is done through making use of materials that are windproof and waterproof, preventing the cold from breaking through and bring down your body temperature.
