Base Layer

A short-sleeve thermal shirt is worn as the first layer directly against the skin. The main function of a thermal shirt is to keep your body warm and dry. When you are active, you start to sweat. A short-sleeve thermal shirt wicks this moisture away to the outside, ensuring that your body stays dry and at the right temperature.

Dry Body

You can wear a thermal shirt year-round. In winter, a short-sleeve thermal shirt provides warmth, while in summer, it offers cooling. Some thermal shirts are made from thicker fabric than others. The thicker thermal shirts primarily provide warmth and tend to fit looser against the body. The thinner thermal shirts fit snugly and focus on moisture wicking. Which short-sleeve thermal shirt you choose depends on the weather conditions and the activity you plan to do. During winter sports, you are very active, which generates heat. Therefore, do not wear an overly thick thermal shirt. Your body needs to stay dry to maintain its temperature. Combined with the rest of your ski clothing, you will be warm enough.

The Fabric

Merino wool and polyester are materials commonly used in short-sleeve thermal shirts. These fabrics absorb almost no moisture, wick sweat away quickly, and are lightweight. Merino wool has the added advantage of being non-itchy and staying fresh for a long time. Polyester, on the other hand, retains its shape well. Some thermal shirts also feature stretch, which provides an even more comfortable fit.

Some brands have developed special techniques that they apply to their thermal shirts. For example, Craft prevents unpleasant odors by using Coolmax Extreme Fresh FX technology. Odlo ensures maximum freedom of movement with seamless technology.

Short Sleeves

Thermal shirts come in various types and sizes, including sleeveless shirts and, of course, short-sleeve shirts. Additionally, there are thermal shirts with a round neck or with a stand-up collar. Often, shirts with a stand-up collar feature a zipper, which is handy for putting on and taking off your thermal shirt or for a bit of ventilation.

Short-sleeve thermal shirts are ideal for warmer days while skiing! This way, your upper body is well protected from the cold, and sweat moisture is efficiently wicked away, preventing you from overheating.

Tips

To enjoy your thermal shirt for a long time, it is important to wash it according to the care instructions. This way, the functions of the short-sleeve thermal shirt will be maintained. The instructions are provided on the care label inside the thermal shirt.
