Long-sleeve thermal shirts for hiking

Why wear a long-sleeve thermal shirt while hiking?

While hiking you're on the move, which quickly makes you warm. It's therefore wise to put on several layers of clothing. Getting too warm or too cold while hiking? Then take off or put on a layer. You put on a long-sleeve thermal shirt as the first layer, and it wicks away perspiration so the body stays dry and fresh. Is the weather a bit warmer on a given day? Then don't put on long sleeves, but go for a short-sleeve thermal shirt instead.

What material should my long-sleeve thermal shirt be made of?

Long-sleeve thermal shirts are available in various types and sizes, for both women and men. The material a thermal shirt is made from says a lot about the shirt's technical properties! A merino wool thermal shirt, for example, fits extra comfortably and is antibacterial, meaning you don't need to wash the shirt right away after wearing it for a day. On top of that, the merino wool thermal shirt keeps the body at the right temperature and wicks away any perspiration. Thermal shirts made from synthetic materials naturally also have the properties to regulate body temperature and wick away sweat.

Tip

Always wash your long-sleeve thermal shirt according to the washing instructions, to avoid losing important properties of your thermal shirt.
