How to choose thermal underwear for a child

As the cold season approaches, caring parents rush to replenish their children's wardrobe with warm clothes and shoes, thinking through every element of winter gear so that their precious children do not freeze or get sick. The kids are eagerly awaiting the coming cold snap, promising fun splashes in autumn puddles, hours of fun on fluffy soft snow and other entertainment that inquisitive children's minds quickly find, despite the bad weather. 

And many still make a serious mistake, choosing clothes strictly according to the ambient temperature, but not taking into account the activity of the child, who is almost always on the move, gives off his own heat and sweats. Knitted granny socks, thick tights and long johns, numerous ""T-shirts--blouses--sweaters"" perfectly ... absorb moisture. Yes, they absorb, become saturated with it and no longer warm, but overcool the body, stick to the skin and cause serious discomfort. 

In fact, the principle of layering exists and is considered the most correct option, but it does not mean turning a child into an awkward “cabbage-like” appearance, but the right clothes that provide comfort during active recreation and quiet walks in the fresh air.

Proper Layering: Layer by Layer 

Layered equipment is the best, proven effective way to ensure thermal comfort in any weather. Each layer is responsible for its own functions, interconnected with other layers, and together all this guarantees those very comfortable sensations in the cold.

1. The base layer, the most important. Directly contacts the child's skin, is responsible for thermoregulation and moisture removal. The ideal base layer is children's thermal underwear .

Modern models of outerwear include two layers at once: insulation and an upper, waterproof one, which allows you to save on the purchase. But it is functionally impossible to replace the base layer with anything - thermal underwear for a child is no less important than a high-quality winter jumpsuit and branded boots. But it should also be chosen correctly, which we will discuss below.

How to Choose the Right Thermal Underwear Set for Your Child 

Thermal underwear for children is presented in a huge variety. Products differ in purpose, material, temperature range in which comfort is provided, and, of course, in price. There are often cases when, under the guise of things with a thermal effect, the buyer is offered low-quality synthetics or even natural, good-quality things, but not related to thermal underwear. Therefore, the choice of the latter should be approached carefully and seriously.

Children's thermal underwear Norveg made of merino wool is already well known to the Russian consumer, meets all the characteristics declared by the manufacturer, and flawlessly performs its functions for the required period. Woolen items provide thermoregulation and moisture wicking in a wide range of temperatures and humidity, so they are considered universal for our climate and are really suitable for every day.

Wool fibers act as a buffer, reacting to body and ambient temperature. When it is cold outside and body heat emission decreases, warm air is trapped between the fibers, thus providing comfort even if the child moves little. During high activity or at positive temperatures, warm air in the room, on the contrary, will be released outside so that the child does not overheat and sweat. 

The moisture removal mechanism is no less interesting. Merino wool fibers absorb moisture up to a third of their weight, quickly evaporating it from the surface of the product. Thanks to this property, the feeling of moisturizing the baby's skin is reduced to a minimum. 

But the advantages of children's thermal underwear for a child are not limited to this: the products are characterized by increased durability, high elasticity, preservation of shape and color after wearing, maximum comfort even when on the body for d.
