   
Thermal Underwear for Toddlers & Infants!
Toddlers and infants do not have fully developed internal heating systems and they get cold very
fast when subjected to cold weather. A proven method to keep young children warm is to dress them in multiple
layers of winter clothing, with the initial or base layer being thermal underwear, long johns, union suits,
etc.
In the past, most thermal underwear was made of cotton fiber and today many brands still use
this material. Cotton is not an ideal fiber for cold weather clothing because of its tendency to trap
moisture, perspiration, etc., which produces wet clothing next to your child’s skin, making him or her cold
and uncomfortable. If your baby is not going to be active or playing in wet conditions, long underwear made
of cotton will be adequate and will help retain body heat and promote warmth and overall comfort.
If your child is going to be active and perhaps perspire or if he or she will be exposed to
rain, sleet or other wet conditions, you should consider under garments made of one of the modern materials
that promote the wicking of moisture away from the skin, while simultaneously retaining your child’s body
heat.
Thermal underwear and cold weather under garments made from these materials are easily found
in local stores and on the internet. These under garments are typically made from polyester and polypropylene materials and are
marketed under a variety of brand names such as Thermion, DriClime, SmartWool, ColdPruf, Duofold and
Thermotech. There are many additional quality brands of cold weather long underwear being offered by many
merchants and most of them do an excellent job at helping infants or very young children stay warm while
exposed to cold weather.
You can find quality thermal underwear for infants and toddlers at many local department stores and stores that
specialize in clothing designed for outdoor activities. There are numerous merchants selling these items online,
with established companies like REI, Patagonia, Land’s End, Cabela’s and Eddie Bauer all offering these under
garments and any other type of cold weather clothing necessary to keep your baby warm during the winter
season.
We recommend that you do your shopping online, as we believe that there is a wider selection available at better prices
than what you’ll typically find at local stores. Make sure you order the proper size for your toddler, 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.
Hopefully, we’ve helped you learn more about thermal underwear and cold weather under garments,
such as the toddler snow boots, that can help your infant
or toddler stay warm and dry.
Happy Shopping!
