Women's thermal leggings and tights

What cut to choose for women's thermal leggings?

Well-fitting sports leggings are essential for your body's thermoregulation. Loose-fitting leggings offer greater freedom of movement, but are less effective at retaining heat. Tights that are too tight can impede blood circulation and rub against the skin. The ideal is to find the perfect balance between fit and comfort to guarantee the best heat retention. Select your thermal leggings according to your sport. For hikers and runners, opt for leggings with pockets. These practical, breathable tights make it easy to store your phone and keys. If you're looking for thermal leggings for winter sports, opt for a length below the knee, to avoid over-thickness with ski socks.

What material to choose for women's thermal leggings?

Women's thermal leggings come in two types of material: natural and synthetic. Natural fibers: mainly wool and merino wool, these fibers are renowned for their warmth, lightness and excellent odor management. However, these materials can be slower to dry. Synthetic fibers: these include polyester, polyamide, elastane and polypropylene. They offer good elasticity, are easy to care for and dry quickly. However, their ability to retain body heat and manage odors is generally less effective than that of natural fibers. Your choice of material will therefore depend on the intensity of your sporting activity. You can also opt for our women's thermal leggings, which combine these two types of fiber for an optimum balance between warmth, odor management and ease of care. Brands such as Uyn, X Bionic, Odlo and DECATHLON incorporate highly breathable fibers, a high waistband and optimum elasticity in some of their ski tights to meet every need. Today, everything is designed to guarantee the comfort of skiers and snowboarders on the slopes!

Taking care of your thermal underwear

To prolong the life of your garment, before machine-washing it, check the label for any precautions for use. Like all baselayers, thermal leggings are relatively thin and fragile, especially if made of wool. For wool ski tights, wash by hand or machine on a delicate 30°C program. For synthetic thermal pants, opt for an appropriate program. All DECATHLON women's thermal underwear comes with a two-year guarantee.
