Why Wear a Short-Sleeve Thermal Shirt During Winter Sports?
During winter sports, you are often engaged in intense activity. After a challenging descent, you may find yourself sitting still on the lift heading back up. Sweating and then sitting still can make you feel cold quickly. A short-sleeve thermal shirt helps wick away moisture effectively, allowing your body to maintain the right temperature. However, there are a few features to consider when choosing a short-sleeve thermal shirt. Besides your underwear, thermal clothing is the first layer you put on for winter sports. This thermal clothing keeps your body warm. While skiing, you are active and sweating, so the short-sleeve thermal shirt efficiently wicks away moisture to keep both your body and clothing dry. Short-sleeve thermal shirts come in various thicknesses. There is a layer of air between your skin and the thermal shirt, which your body can keep at a comfortable temperature. A thicker shirt that is slightly looser around your body primarily helps retain body heat, while a thinner shirt that fits snugly focuses on moisture wicking.
You can choose between long-sleeve and short-sleeve thermal shirts. If it’s going to be a warmer day on the slopes, opt for a short-sleeve thermal shirt. A short-sleeve thermal shirt offers excellent protection against the cold for your upper body while providing some extra ventilation for your arms. Not only is a short-sleeve thermal shirt useful during winter sports holidays, but you can also wear it while running, cycling, or hiking!
What Should a Good Short-Sleeve Thermal Shirt Have?
Thermal shirts are generally made from polyester or merino wool. These materials absorb very little moisture and effectively wick away sweat, helping you stay dry and warm. Polyester is soft, lightweight, quick-drying, and retains its shape. Merino wool has the advantage of staying fresh for a long time and does not irritate the skin. Some brands within the Plutosport range incorporate special technologies into their thermal shirts. For instance, Craft uses Coolmax Extreme Fresh FX technology to combat unpleasant odors. Tenson's Power Comfort technology ensures that the thermal shirt dries quickly and wicks moisture effectively. Odlo guarantees maximum freedom of movement with its seamless technology.
Tip
Read the washing instructions on the care label inside the thermal shirt carefully. If a thermal shirt isn’t washed properly, it may lose those important properties.
