The best way to keep your child warm while playing outdoors in
cold weather is to dress him or her in several layers of clothing. The layering technique enables the body
heat produced by your child to be
retained in an efficient manner. The first layer of
clothing consists of thermal underwear, which are also known as long johns, long underwear, union suits and a
variety of other terms. In the past, most thermal underwear was made of cotton and while
cotton does a good job when dry, once it is wet, either from snow, rain or your child’s perspiration, it
literally makes your child colder because the wet material is removing heat from the body. Cotton long
john’s, once wet, becomes quite heavy and uncomfortable, often producing chafing on the tender skin of
children. Fortunately, there are now many types of thermal underwear that are made from materials that are far superior to cotton when it comes
to heat retention. Additionally, many of these materials are effective at wicking sweat and moisture away from
your child’s skin, while at the same time preserving body heat. Because these materials allow perspiration to
evaporate it enables your child’s skin to remain dry and warm.
Some of the best thermal underwear available today is made from Capilene, which is a lightweight fiber that
possesses superior moisture wicking and heat retention capabilities. There are also several types of polyester
and polypropylene materials used to create these base layer under garments that are marketed under a variety of
brand names such as Thermion, DriClime, SmartWool, ColdPruf, Duofold and Thermotech, to name just a few. There
are many more high quality brands of cold weather long underwear available on the market and most of them do an
excellent job at helping kids stay warm while engaging in outdoor activities in cold weather.
 You can find quality thermal underwear at local department stores and stores that specialize in clothing designed
for outdoor activities. There are also many reputable merchants selling these items online, with major companies
like REI, Patagonia, Land’s End, Cabela’s and Eddie Bauer all having large websites that offer these under
garments and any other type of cold weather clothing necessary to keep your child warm during the winter
season.We recommend that you do your shopping online, as we believe that
there is a wider selection of
thermal underwear available at better prices than
what you’ll typically find at local stores. Make sure you order the proper size for your child, as dressing
him or her in long underwear that is too tight or too loose can often reduce the clothing’s ability to retain
heat and help keep your child warm.
