Underwear thermal underwear, layer concept, first layer

With the onset of morning frosts, all lovers of outdoor recreation need to take care of comfortable and warm clothes. Physical activity in the cold season with subsequent cooling can lead to very undesirable consequences, including pneumonia. Whether it’s a race for the zherlitsy or a forced march through loose snow, we once again expose ourselves to the danger of sweating and, as a result, getting a cold. To minimize such risks, experienced winter fishermen wear several layers of membrane clothing. The first layer of thermal underwear removes moisture, the second accumulates it, and the third creates a barrier that prevents the penetration of cold air.

The most stringent requirements are imposed on body thermal underwear (the first thermal layer). It should be woven from twisted synthetic threads and have numerous cells designed to ensure the free drainage of sweat to the outside. Due to the fact that some fishermen do not attach importance to the layer-by-layer concept, dissatisfaction arises even with the best examples of thermal products, while most modern thermal underwear (including budget ones) copes with the task perfectly.

However, it is necessary to adhere to two mandatory rules: underwear must be 100% synthetic (cotton and wool will absorb perspiration) and must completely fit the body (like gymnasts).

To summarize:

the first sublayer contains only synthetics
Be sure to fit exactly to size ("second skin" effect)
thin synthetic thermal clothing worn on the naked body
Thermal socks are worn under thermal pants
like regular linen, it requires regular washing, but not higher than 40 degrees. (rinsing is better)
Under no circumstances should thermal underwear be ironed, otherwise it will lose its structure
if you bought a thick or loose-fitting thermal jacket, then it can be used as a second layer
the base layer performs the function of removing moisture; accordingly, other layers are located behind it (absorbent, warming, windproof)
in moderate frosts, three layers + a membrane suit are enough
thermal underwear can be worn in summer
TB should not rub or hinder movement

In the coming season, our assortment will consist entirely of thermal underwear from the Latvian company Norfin, as the most acceptable in terms of price-quality ratio and which won the most votes in our survey in Group

Example of using a layered kit

First layer. Natelier kit. Worn on a naked body, combined with other layers. Designed to remove moisture. Usually choose one size smaller than the rest of the set

Second layer. A tighter suit. Put onon top of the first one. Designed for thermal insulation

Third layer. Suit with brushed fleece (micro-fleece). Worn under top layers or under overalls. Can be worn as outerwear in the off-season. The fleece creates an air layer to retain heat

Upper layer. Breathable suit with maximum heat coefficient (-40° and more)

Choosing thermal underwear begins with determining your needs, goals and capabilities.

Thermal underwear is underwear designed to maintain the body's microclimate while removing excess moisture. It also has significant breathability properties. With the correct selection of this type of underwear, you will be comfortable at any temperature: warm on a cold day, and comfortable on a hot day. Two main criteria are thermal insulation and the ability to remove excess moisture from the body . For summer, the main criterion is moisture removal, for winter - thermal insulation. In any case, it is important to keep your body dry - this is for your comfort and health!

There are all kinds of thermal underwear models - blouses, turtlenecks and T-shirts, various long johns and pants, shorts, breeches, suits, overalls, as well as socks, gloves, and even hats.

Classification of thermal underwear

First of all, it is divided into sportswear, for active recreation, and also into models for daily wear. Requirements for quality characteristics and price increase in proportion to the activity of use.

According to weather conditions: for cold or hot weather.

Summer thermal underwear It should be thin, light, protect from overheating and possible hypothermia (when changing from active movement to a passive state, for example, when playing sports), remove excess moisture! This is 100% synthetic, if the underwear is chosen for active sports, or composite fabrics, with the addition of cotton and linen, for less active physical activity.

For cold times the underwear should be warm. At the same time, each manufacturer has a division for cool, cold and very cold weather. The rule is that the thicker, the warmer.

Material composition and main characteristics

For thermal underwear, both synthetic and natural materials. Cotton and wool are familiar to us, but they are significantly inferior to synthetic materials, especially polypropylene, as well as polyester and their derivatives. Cotton absorbs moisture many times more, retaining it for a long time, and dries more slowly. Most of all, it is suitable for daily wear with minimal activity. If you choose wool, then the highest quality and warmest is merino wool. Underwear with this composition is suitable for low activity and very cold temperatures: most often for everyday wear or outdoor activities, such as fishing.

In order for this underwear to work, it requires contact with the skin and the creation of an air cushion.

The second layer is designed to increase thermal properties or to protect against external factors (wind, moisture).

Most thermal underwear fabrics are made from microfibers, which makes the fabric thin and pleasant to the body. Sometimes lycra and elastane are added, more often for underwear designed for active movement. They increase the comfort of movement, and the tight-fitting cut during prolonged wear helps to avoid deformation, which is especially typical natural fabrics. Antibacterial impregnations or silver fibers are also added.

Sports-type thermal underwear primarily designed for moisture management and breathability. During active exercise, there is no need for warming. All sports thermal underwear is made only from synthetic fabrics; for warmth, a second layer or membrane clothing is used - in cold times - or simply sports outerwear with a membrane that already includes the functions of thermal underwear.

Hybrid thermal underwear(for active recreation and just country walks) should be composite to maintain thermal insulation and moisture removal: single-component or two-layer. In two-layer thermal underwear, the first layer removes moisture, the second is responsible for thermoregulation and removal of moisture further - or its evaporation. The second layer resembles cells in which there are air molecules heated by the body, which are responsible for the further removal of the body’s vapor moisture to the next layer, or for its retention and drying due to body heat.

The first and second layers of thermal underwear. Companies produce two types of underwear. The first layer is worn directly on the naked body. Thermal underwear of the second layer resembles a tracksuit and can be used in the autumn-spring period as outerwear. Most often from fleece of varying density, or from a combination of fabrics: the inner layer is fleece, the outer layer is synthetic material: polyester, polyamide, nylon, etc.; it can have a sprayed membrane (PU) or consist of membrane fabric (the ending in the name of the material is TEX).

Choice

When you have decided on the style, temperature conditions and the activity of your movements, proceed to the choice. There are specialized brands for sports and outdoor activities, as well as manufacturers of “outdoor” clothing - for active and everyday wear.
Pay attention to the anatomical cut - for maximum comfort - and to the seams.

Care

Read product labels carefully. General recommendations are:
. Gentle hand or delicate machine wash without drying 30-40 C.
Use of specialized detergents for synthetics or sportswear it is desirable; the use of softeners and antistatic agents is possible if there are no such restrictions.
. Do not use chlorine-containing or other bleaches or aggressive detergents.
. Do not iron, do not expose to overheating (drying on hot surfaces, such as a central heating radiator).
. Thermal underwear with a fleecy inner layer should be washed inside out.
. It is advisable not to wring or twist, but to dry flat.

The correct example opinion

Thermal underwear is designed to always be comfortable and pleasant to wear. Allows you to keep your body warm and dry with a minimum of clothing. Ideal rule: 1 layer in summer, 2 layers in the off-season, up to 3 layers in winter (thermal underwear of the first layer and outerwear for average negative temperatures or 3 layers for very cold temperatures: first and second layers of thermal underwear and outerwear).

That's why:
. choose the right thermal underwear depending on your physical activity and climate conditions. When choosing thermal underwear for sports, pay attention to the specialization of the manufacturer (thermal underwear for diving will never have the same functional characteristics as mountaineering);
. do not wear too much warm outerwear;
. thermal underwear for cold and very cold conditions is most effective when combined with outerwear with moisture- and windproof properties;
. do not wear a second layer of thermal underwear ordinary clothes from natural materials!
. Do not wear cotton or linen sweaters over the first layer of thermal underwear!

And don’t forget, quality things can’t be cheap. Don’t chase design and fashion, choose convenient and comfortable things.

In order to feel comfortable at low temperatures, you need to dress according to the rules of the layer concept. Layer-by-layer concept - includes three layers of clothing: the first - thermal underwear, the insulating second layer, and the last, third - protective, that is, an outer winter fishing suit.

Today we'll talk about the first two layers. The main thing is to always remember that it is not the amount of clothing that provides reliable thermal protection, but its correct selection! The human body exercising active recreation, including fishing, works intensively while doing his favorite activity. The fisherman needs to get to the fishing spot; often for this he has to use public transport, on a pond, in deep snow, reach the fishing spot, drill a large number of holes in the ice during fishing and, of course, this is returning home. In this case, a large amount of energy is expended with the release of moisture - sweat. Moisture prevents heat retention in clothing, so all layers of clothing should not absorb and retain it, but quickly release it out into the atmosphere. Oddly enough, only synthetics can handle this well. Natural materials: cotton and wool absorb moisture well, but they also “part with it” very reluctantly.

THERMAL UNDERWEAR

First layer of clothing- thermal underwear, must be worn on a naked body. The best solution is to put on thin thermal underwear first. The main purpose of thin underwear is to remove moisture from the human body as quickly as possible. Under no circumstances should you wear cotton underwear under thermal underwear! Such fabric will quickly become saturated with moisture: the angler will even feel hot while moving, but when he starts fishing while sitting on a fishing box, his activity will sharply decrease and he will immediately feel cold, even with slight frost. Then, over thin thermal underwear, thick ones are put on. As already mentioned, for people with high physical activity, this layer of clothing is made only from synthetic fibers. In mild frost, you can limit yourself to only one thin or thick thermal underwear. It all depends on individual characteristics fisherman In any case, if the angler sweats, then within a very short time, excess moisture will be removed from the body into the outer layers of clothing, and then into the atmosphere. The skin and thermal underwear will remain dry, and heat will continue to accumulate in the clothes.

With less active physical activity, natural materials can be introduced into the fabric, and with very low activity, in the composition of thermal underwear, the wool content can reach up to 100%. But, such thermal underwear is only suitable for older people who are usually inactive outdoors.

The RYBOLOV-SERVICE company's assortment includes a wide range of thermal underwear and insulated clothing. This clothing is made of polyester and is recommended for leisure activities ranging from low to high. It “breathes” well, removes moisture from the body, accumulates heat, is comfortable to wear and allows machine washable in a gentle manner.

The invention of heat-resistant underwear was preceded by many centuries of trial and error. Our ancestors wore unique vests under their outer clothing, woven from dry grass and fibrous materials. Spinning flax and wool contributed to the appearance of lower clothing that vaguely resembles modern ones. But only the development of organic chemistry made it possible to create high-quality thermal underwear of the first layer - clothing that reliably protects the body from hypothermia even in conditions of high humidity. You can really buy good thermal underwear in Moscow at the Camouflage ru store!

High-quality thermal underwear removes moisture from the surface of the skin

By the end of the twentieth century, many natural and artificial materials, effectively preventing cold air from entering the body. However, most of the garments of that time did not claim to be real thermal underwear: it was enough for the person wearing it to sweat in the cold, and inevitable hypothermia awaited him.

Cotton fabric, linen, and knitted wool, for all their advantages, have a serious drawback: they easily absorb moisture and very slowly, reluctantly evaporate it. Thermal underwear is characterized by excellent moisture absorption and a high rate of evaporation from the surface.

In combination with membrane fabric outerwear, thermal underwear for cold weather removes sweat from the skin so effectively that the user does not even feel like the fabric is wet.
