Short-sleeve thermal shirts
While hiking, a short-sleeve thermal shirt from FALKE or Regatta isn't an unnecessary luxury. The shirt gives a comfortable feel and keeps your body dry, so little warmth is lost. In both summer and winter, this shirt makes a good first layer under your hiking clothing.
Why wear a short-sleeve thermal shirt while hiking
You put on thermal wear, after your underwear, as the first layer. Perspiration is wicked away quickly, keeping your body dry and fresh. The thickness of the thermal shirt determines how much warmth it provides. The thicker the thermal shirt and the looser it fits around your body, the more warmth is retained. A short-sleeve thermal shirt gives a cool, dry feel in summer and a warm, comfortable feel in winter. During a hike you're on the move, which makes you sweat. A short-sleeve thermal shirt ensures this perspiration is quickly wicked away, keeping the body dry.
What material should my short-sleeve thermal shirt be made of?
Merino wool and polyester are widely used materials for short-sleeve thermal shirts. These materials have properties such as feeling soft, being lightweight and drying quickly. Merino wool has the added advantage of staying fresh-smelling despite your efforts and not itching.
Tip
Wash your short-sleeve thermal shirt according to the washing instructions, to prevent losing important properties.
