WHY DO CHILDREN NEED THERMAL WEAR?
We would like to briefly explain what thermal wear is and why it is a good idea to have a set in your children's wardrobe. Thermal clothing consists of three layers of fabric that are welded together. It is the combination of these layers that provides the insulating and wind-repellent function that keeps the child's body warm. As the fabric is also water-repellent or waterproof, children can play in the damp grass without getting wet. Thermal clothing is made of a lightweight material that allows free movement during play. The thermal clothing is obvious to use during the transition periods, but can also be used as a jacket on a cool summer day, under the rainwear on the wet days or during the winter for extra warmth under the outerwear.
WHY USE THERMAL WEAR UNDER RAIN WEAR?
It can often be an advantage to wear thermal wear under your rain wear. It can be cold to play outside in the rain only wearing rainwear. Most children love to play in puddles, but the cold puddles quickly cool the body. The thermal clothing keeps the children warm, so they want to play and have fun outdoors for a longer period of time.
