Buying Thermal Tops Online

A thermal top is part of the ideal base layer, and can be worn when running in hot or cold conditions. Thermal tops offer more comfort than basic tops or t-shirts, they fit next to skin and they help to better regulate your body temperature. In cold weather conditions, a thermal shirt keeps your body at the right temperature. In warm weather conditions, a thermal shirt ensures rapid sweat removal, so that the body does not retain too much moisture (moisture cools down quickly and as a consequence of this a soaked shirt will feel really cold to the body). There are also thermal tops that help you better regulate your body temperature while running in any type of weather. Make sure that you wear the right thermal top at the right moment: when it’s cold, wear one that helps you retain heat; when it’s hot, wear one that helps you stay cool. Thermal clothing forms the base layer of your running outfit in cold conditions. At 21RUN we don’t just offer thermal shirts, but also thermal underwear and thermal clothing sets.

Prevention is Better than Cure

Running in cold conditions without thermal clothing is unwise. There is a greater risk of getting injured or catching cold and falling ill. After you have finished your run, your body cools down and it is at those exact moments that the effect and functionality of a thermal top as a base layer is of the utmost importance. When running endurance runs your body also cools down while you are running. A thermal top can help prevent this and is seen as a must-have when it comes to endurance sports. A thermal shirt continuously ensures that the upper body is at the right temperature to perform. If you are going to run in extremely cold conditions, we recommend thicker thermal clothing, a long sleeve base layer or for instance a merino wool base layer. When faced with less arctic conditions a regular thermal t-shirt or sleeveless thermal top will suffice.

What is the right thermal top?

Recent years have shown a large growth in the offer of thermal tops. But how to find the right undershirt for your run? There are thermal tops for men and thermal tops for women, and short sleeve thermal tops or tops with long sleeves, but that isn’t the only distinction.
