Men's technical underwear Odlo

Technical underwear Odlo

The technical underwear from Odlo is designed to regulate temperature, wick moisture, and provide comfort during exertion. This guide helps you choose based on your activity, body type, and expectations.

Types of thermal underwear

Several materials and weights are distinguished. Here are the main types:

• Synthetic fibers (polyester, polypropylene): lightweight, quick-drying, and wick sweat.
• Merino wool: natural warmth, odor-resistant, and good insulation even when wet.
• Technical blends: combine comfort, elasticity, and insulation.

For intensive activities, prefer thin layers made of synthetic material. For moderate efforts in cold weather, merino wool or a technical blend is suitable. Odlo offers solutions for every use, including a complete range of Odlo men's and women's textiles.

Thicknesses and layers

• Lightweight base layer: skin contact, moisture wicking. Ideal for running and trail.
• Medium base layer: good insulation and breathability, versatile.
• Warm base layer: insulating, for low-energy activities or extreme cold.

Benefits according to activities

Thermal underwear enhances performance and comfort. Examples:

• Running and trail: temperature maintenance and quick sweat wicking.
• Cycling: reduction of friction and moisture management, as with certain technical cycling garments for men.
• Skiing and mountaineering: insulation and freedom of movement, often combined with a suitable jacket and pants. For quick departures, some sites also offer men's ski pants with express delivery.
• Outdoor work: protection against cold and comfort over long periods.
• Everyday winter use: base layer for performant men's winter clothing.

Complementary products

Pair your underwear with an appropriate mid-layer. Odlo offers comfortable fleeces to add warmth, including men's Odlo fleeces and women's Odlo fleeces at reduced prices during promotional periods.

Choosing the right size and fit

A technical underwear should be close to the body without compressing. Measure your chest and waist, then consult the Odlo size guide. If you hesitate between two sizes, choose the smaller for a functional base layer. For long sleeves, also check the fit at the shoulders and wrists; men's long-sleeve technical t-shirts often offer cuts adapted to movement.

Technical characteristics of Odlo products

• Moisture management: fibers treated to wick sweat.
• Odor control: anti-odor treatment or naturally effective merino wool.
• Elasticity and support: flat seams and ergonomic cut to reduce friction.
• Breathability and insulation: weights adapted to conditions.

Care to extend lifespan

• Wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle.
• Use a mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners that clog technical fibers.
• Air drying recommended. Avoid tumble drying to preserve elasticity.
• Store flat to maintain shape.

FAQ

Which material to choose: polyester or wool?

Polyester wicks sweat quickly and dries fast. Merino wool offers more warmth and less odor. For a compromise, opt for Odlo's technical blends.

Can you wear thermal underwear all day?

Yes, if the activity is moderate. Change it if you become too damp to avoid cooling.

How to know if the fit is correct?

The garment should be fitted but allow for all movements. Test the bending of arms and legs.
