Running Socks

When most people think about thermal underwear, they envision the cotton or flannel long johns that have been around for centuries. But among these types of long underwear, another type is also becoming quite popular, and that’s silk. So when choosing long underwear, should you choose silk or synthetic?

Both are good options, as they both have unique advantages. Silk underwear feels ultra-luxurious against the skin, and is especially beneficial for those who have sensitive skin. It can also be best to wear under clothing since it is thinner and moves easier. Silk underwear is best for when you want to wear long underwear, but don’t need superior warmth. While silk underwear does provide some degree of warmth, it won’t be as much as you’ll get with synthetic long underwear.

On the other hand, long underwear that’s made with a combination of natural and synthetic materials, such as Munsingwear underwear will be able to provide much more warmth than silk underwear simply because they are made of a thicker material. Because of that, cotton and synthetic long underwear is best if you’re going to be out in the cold for a long time.

Another thing you might need to consider is your budget; silk tends to be more expensive than other kinds of underwear. If you do want the best though, come see us at Amazing Socks.
