5 Tips To Buying Thermal Underwear | A Man's Guide To Thermals

I'm not sure where you get this information from, but the synthetic base layers certainly don't "shine where smell is concerned"... They stink like hell. There are two major types of what you call "synthetics" - polyester and nylon and they're completely different. Polyester soaks up fats, but is hydrophobic, so it stinks, but wicks moisture to the next layer and dries in minutes. Nylon soaks up water, but not fats, so it doesn't stink, but gets wet and clammy, dries slow and doesn't wick moisture to the next layer. Nearly 100% of synthetic base layers are polyester, so they stink, but stay dry and wick moisture. And here's where the wool comes in - it takes up water, but keeps its insulating properties when wet. When woven thin, like in a base layer it wicks moisture away from the skin. It doesn't absorb much fats, so it doesn't stink as polyester. And it's a natural material which people have worn for millennia. It's the best thing one can put against their skin. Only thing better is alpaca, but I'm not going there. Wool is often blended mostly with nylon, but sometimes polyester, which should be fine as long as wool is more than 50%. I'm only buying over 80% .
I'm done with synthetics as underwear or base layer. I ditched most cotton long time ago. What I use now is merino or other fine wool as base layer or underwear. Mid layer, outer shell can be synthetic, for lack of reasonably priced and practical wool outwear - pants or jackets. Many years back, when a lot of things were wool, before it became "fine" and "all the hype" material, I wore pants from pure wool on bare skin all winter long, including in the mountains in snow and subfreezing temperatures, never needed even long jones except in the worst of conditions. Nothing beats them so far. If only I could get a pair now...

Cotton kills in cold weather.

I wear my solid black tech running tights and long sleeve tech t-shirts instead of thermals. They work well and are close fitting. The #1 benefit for me is wearing the tights under running shorts, regular shorts, jeans, dress slacks. The material wicks moisture away, and keep me cool and warm at the same time. I'm a big advocate of synthetic tech materials at 60%+ less than $$wool. I love wool, it's just too expensive for me and not readily available everywhere.

Sponsored video. Automatic skip and dislike.

Get a 2 piece and tuck the top in

What are you talking about? Synthetic materials are the worst for smell, whereas wool is antimicrobial and eliminates odors

$20 cottons or whatever has more wool in it. $20 Under shirt and over shirt.
Heavy duty overalls that won't break down even after weeks of rough work on the rail road in all conditions $100
Heavy all weather coat with hood $45-150. If you're going cheap add another layer with a light coat underneath.

Wool socks from cabelas $16 and worth every penny.

This will keep you out in negative degrees with the wind blowing

I tape my cuffs when they get stretched, obviously it's warmer when the cuffs and collar fit snugly.

Thanks

Nice

No way bro. You're not giving the information we need, for instance; to what degree of Celsius or Fahrenheit will the undergarments keep you warm at? Actually that's it. That's all we need to know.

Seems like a paid advertisement. Not an unbiassed opinion.

Great video. Tbh I expected someone screaming at me and giving me a sponsored segment every 3 minutes, but instead the video was really informative and the sponsored segment was very professionally done and blended in seamlessly. This is a classic example of a an informative video done right!

need tips to purchase Thermal Wear for women

HOW MUCH IS YOUR COMMISSION FROM TANI? Such a conflict of interest

I prefer underwear that is smooth so my outerwear glides over it. I can't stand it when the 2 stick together, causing them to bunch up.

Do you have anything for women ?

Should I wear undies under thermals?

I like your video but his is wayyy to expensive

So what material of underwear is the best for cold weather?

U never see a mannequin with his clothes sagging.

Uh, think I'll just stick my Fruit of the Loom 2 for 15 value pack. Thanks anyway.

Just another paid Ad....

Very informative and helpful in choosing the bace layer I’ll need for my winter cycling commute

Thank you for specifying that your video is marketed to men by saying gentlemen in the first minute, I just wanted to know more about long underwater.

Love this video, Antonio! Thank you!

What about fleece thermals

I bought the same ones for £12 today

Do you wear underwear under them or over them

That sweater , Though

As a ups employee who suffers through the cold for 10-12 hours a day, you don’t need to spend 250 on a thermal. Just buy the cheapest thermal you can find and layer up.

Hey the discount code doesn't work anymore.

The sound is horrible
