WHEN the colder months roll around and the weather really drops, sometimes outer layers aren\u2019t quite enough to keep the freeze at bay.<\/p>\n
This is where thermals come in.<\/p>\n
Go for a set of the best thermals for men and you\u2019ve got a base layer that locks in heat, keeping you warmer no matter the temperature outside. <\/p>\n
Combine them with thermal socks, chunky knitwear, trousers and a heavy insulated coat and you\u2019ll be practically ready to tackle the arctic.<\/p>\n
But which thermals are best and what should you look out for? From fabric choice through to the way they fit, as well as suggestions for the best thermals on the market, here\u2019s all you need to know.<\/p>\n
Fabric is arguably the most important thing to consider when it comes to buying thermals. <\/p>\n
Typically, you\u2019ll often find thermals made from some form of polyester or acrylic blend. These fibres will have often been specially woven to retain heat on the body, and keep warm air as close to you as possible. They are also typically soft and feature moisture-wicking properties which keep you dry as well as warm. Poly-blend fibres also tend to be cheaper than natural ones. <\/p>\n
You can buy merino wool thermals, which are great and boast all the performance properties of poly-blends but also cost a fair bit more. If you want natural fabrics though, merino or bamboo is the way to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fit is also crucial when it comes to thermals. Given they are essentially an under layer, you\u2019ll want them to fit fairly close to your body, so they don\u2019t impact the clothes you wear over them. A chunky thermal top layer that\u2019s too baggy won\u2019t fit very well underneath a long sleeve tee, for example. <\/p>\n
You also want them to fit fairly close so that they do their job properly. Thermals are most effective when they act as a second layer, keeping the heat in and close to your body. You don\u2019t want them to be too tight however, as this will be uncomfortable and may limit your movement. <\/p>\n
