Men's thermal leggings and tights

Why wear men's thermal tights for skiing and snowboarding?

Have you ever felt that damp feeling on your legs when you're out in the mountains? That's what happens when you don't wear thermal underwear. Without this layer, your body doesn't wick moisture away efficiently, sweat cools down and you feel the cold! So it's vital to choose a good pair of breathable ski tights that can regulate your leg temperature. Thermal leggings are one of the first items to be selected in your equipment for the perfect skier or snowboarder. Comfortable and breathable, they act as a base layer to which you can add ski or snowboard pants.

How to choose your men's ski tights?

The choice of tights for men depends on the intensity of your activity and the weather. The more intense the effort, the more crucial it is that your tights are breathable. Brands such as Fjork, Heat Keeper, Kilpi, Odlo and others offer models specially designed for expert skiers. If the effort is less sustained, or temperatures are below freezing, opt for warm tights for extra warmth.

What material to choose for men's thermal tights?

The choice of fabric is essential to achieve the best balance between warmth and breathability. Natural fibers such as merino wool are becoming increasingly popular. Merino wool tights offer an ideal balance between odor management, warmth and temperature regulation, as well as natural antibacterial properties. Synthetic fibers have the advantage of wicking perspiration outwards and drying quickly to avoid the freezing effect. These include polyester, lycra and nylon, which combine to provide optimum warmth. But their main drawback is their reduced ability to wick away unpleasant odors.

Care for men's technical tights

To preserve the life of your men's underpants, machine wash at 30°C and air-dry. Avoid tumble-drying.
