Could you please explain something for me. I bought some kind of synthetic thermal underwear about a year ago for winter. Used it regularly on winter bicycle tours. Now winter is coming (Australia) and I thought I buy a new one ,this time an expensive merino. It's already getting cold here so I put them on for the night. Two things immediately: 1. They make me itchy and uncomfortable on the skin. (I thought plastics were supposed to do this.) 2. They are not as warm as the poly---something fabrics. To top this when I take them off they are popping like pop corns and sparkling in a dark room. I thought only plastics had this kind of physical property. The piece was bought in a big reputable chain retailer. Could it be a fake or it's normal? Thank you for your attention and I'm looking forward to your response.
+Terry Hesticles Tani is some of the best in the world - the best often times cost 10X average. In cars, watches, sweater, computers, shoes,....the list goes on! I live in thermals for 4 months.....so a few great pairs are worth it!
+Terry Hesticles and remember that when getting the best in any field it may only be 20 percent, 10 percent, 5 percent or even 1 percent better but its still the "best" which warrants a little extra value bc not only do you have the best you get to experience and boast that you have and live in, on, for the pinnacle of what man has to offer in your day and age. dont get my wrong I too find it a bit alarming when i see these prices but they are still reasonable
+Real Men Real Style I get where you're coming from. Those thermals may be the best in your opinion but I rather stick with under amour. It won't break the bank and I'll still be warm
+Ludwin V Every industry says that, and yes deals can be found. But oftentimes if you just want the best (top 1% of product in terms of performance) you have to pay 10X more than the 50% (medium level) solution). That being said - we give many other options in our list at MUCH lower prices!
I'm not sure where you get this information from, but the synthetic base layers certainly don't "shine where smell is concerned"... They stink like hell. There are two major types of what you call "synthetics" - polyester and nylon and they're completely different. Polyester soaks up fats, but is hydrophobic, so it stinks, but wicks moisture to the next layer and dries in minutes. Nylon soaks up water, but not fats, so it doesn't stink, but gets wet and clammy, dries slow and doesn't wick moisture to the next layer. Nearly 100% of synthetic base layers are polyester, so they stink, but stay dry and wick moisture. And here's where the wool comes in - it takes up water, but keeps its insulating properties when wet. When woven thin, like in a base layer it wicks moisture away from the skin. It doesn't absorb much fats, so it doesn't stink as polyester. And it's a natural material which people have worn for millennia. It's the best thing one can put against their skin. Only thing better is alpaca, but I'm not going there. Wool is often blended mostly with nylon, but sometimes polyester, which should be fine as long as wool is more than 50%. I'm only buying over 80% . I'm done with synthetics as underwear or base layer. I ditched most cotton long time ago. What I use now is merino or other fine wool as base layer or underwear. Mid layer, outer shell can be synthetic, for lack of reasonably priced and practical wool outwear - pants or jackets. Many years back, when a lot of things were wool, before it became "fine" and "all the hype" material, I wore pants from pure wool on bare skin all winter long, including in the mountains in snow and subfreezing temperatures, never needed even long jones except in the worst of conditions. Nothing beats them so far. If only I could get a pair now...
With my long johns, I like a two piece as well. And I also find that it really helps to tuck the top into the bottoms and that further helps to keep a good connection between the two pieces of clothing when I'm out hunting or going skiing and snowboarding.
RealMen RealStyle, I have a question for you regarding patterned shirts with suit vests in a more casual dress environment. I have a wonderful white-with-blue-paisley button down shirt that has become one of my favorite shirts to wear casually with jeans and the sleeves rolled up. What do you think about wearing that with a vest?
Great video. Tbh I expected someone screaming at me and giving me a sponsored segment every 3 minutes, but instead the video was really informative and the sponsored segment was very professionally done and blended in seamlessly. This is a classic example of a an informative video done right!
As a ups employee who suffers through the cold for 10-12 hours a day, you don’t need to spend 250 on a thermal. Just buy the cheapest thermal you can find and layer up.
+Real Men Real Style do you really? Can you link it for us please? Thanks I enjoyed your email about how you pulled an extra 100k this past year but I'd like to see this video you speak of if it's something different.
I recently traveled to the Arctic North and found that inexpensive thermals on Amazon did just fine. 92% polyester & 8% spandex offered great movenent and fit. I had one pair of 100% polyester and they were not as comfortable. They were paired with snow pants - if you are in a city and wearing ordinary pants as the outer wear, better quality thermals will probably be better.
Thanks for redoing this one Antonio. I was a little lost since the last thermal video. The lady went out of business. I ended up following this advice without knowing it when I choose my thermals this winter. Best I've had so far. Thanks again.
$20 cottons or whatever has more wool in it. $20 Under shirt and over shirt. Heavy duty overalls that won't break down even after weeks of rough work on the rail road in all conditions $100 Heavy all weather coat with hood $45-150. If you're going cheap add another layer with a light coat underneath. Wool socks from cabelas $16 and worth every penny. This will keep you out in negative degrees with the wind blowing
I wear my solid black tech running tights and long sleeve tech t-shirts instead of thermals. They work well and are close fitting. The #1 benefit for me is wearing the tights under running shorts, regular shorts, jeans, dress slacks. The material wicks moisture away, and keep me cool and warm at the same time. I'm a big advocate of synthetic tech materials at 60%+ less than $$wool. I love wool, it's just too expensive for me and not readily available everywhere.
I wear thermals half of the year also, but find Patagonia and a few other brands to suffice. I agree with some of what you say, I just don't find Tani all that unique. I prefer merino wool with a bit of spandex added for additional stretch. I also use cashmere as well as the typical poly/lycra blends offered by sporting brands. There are a couple of brands out there that produce "fishnet" thermals, capitalizing on the idea of capturing air pockets. This isn't new of course, having been popular in Northern European climates for decades.
Just impulse bought the Loft Thermal set in granite. Went from $295 to $206! I live in Georgia right now, which is very warm, but at least I will be prepared for those impromptu camping trips to the Appalachian.
filson base layers are the way to go imo. Mine have gone on 10 years with washer and dryer use. High upfront cost but the quality of wool is astounding.
I prefer my advice from people who know what they are talking about and when it comes to thermal baselayers that means people who do winter cycling, running, XC skiing and hiking. And the companies who make the best stuff are those that specialize in those activities; Tani is not one of them and their stuff is overpriced.
Why people are so concern about the $245... If you are in the tight Budget, maybe you can find another brand that is more Budget-Friendly... I also have a tight Budget, the point is this video taught me the Fit, Fabric and Function of Thermal Underwear By the way I'm absolutely agree with you Antonio "Dryer Kills Clothing", After my Navy Chinos "got killed" by the dryer, now I always hang my clothes even if it took more time
Some of the stuff from UA and Helly Hansen is actually very good and doesn't cost over $200. Heck even Floso is great. I use thermal from Floso when going to and from work. Works great, keeps you warm. Most of the time if people are just using thermal in the city where they spend less than an hour outside and isn't doing any exercise a cheap thermal Floso works fine.
Antonio, great video as always. Just wanted to ask about hand washing. Do you have any articles or videos you recommend for hand washing clothes? Maybe even a future video? I'm honestly slightly intimidated by hand washing, I don't want to ruin my "go to gear". Thanks!
Excellent video! Just what i was looking for. It would be fun to hear your view on Ecco soft VII sneakers, since everyone who talks about sneakers seems to skip them.
Hey Antonio, I got a video idea for you that I'd certainly like to see. A video on how to deal with rejection. Especially romantic/professional. Thanks, I bet you'd do a good job, and its certainly a skill everyone's got to learn. Best wishes.
valuable information since i am planning a trip to hokkaido japan in february (one of the coldest months) for their snow festival. however, the prices are toooooo much. im only gonna be in that fridgid temperature for a few days then make my way down to tokyo....i'll need to find some cheaper alternatives. Im just unsure, i am a warm body....i get hot very easily with layers and that is more uncomfortable to me than being cold.
People..... Do not forget extremities, you loose most of the heat from your head, hands and feet. No matter what you do if you don't insulate those you are fooked.
+leosedf I'm not sure that's true - I read that you lose the same amount from most parts except the neck and chest (you lose more if those are exposed).
$300 thermal underwear? Uh no, I’ll get mine at Walmart for $15, and yes they work just fine. Just get a cotton/polyester blend, so it wicks away moisture well.
Hey Antonio, thanks for the video, I live in Norway, and thermal undies are an essential here. Could you please make a video about gentlemen's winter head wear?

the feeling of syntactic to the bare skin is very bad, and can be irritating. also, synthetics smell very bad when soaked with sweat. cotton or wool. synthetics if you are broke.
Hey Man, I have a deadly problem. I have Chronically Severe Full Body Hyperhydrosis. Not just the underarm, hands and feet kind, this is full body and "INTENSE"!!! I have to walk a mile to my Pharmacy and a mile back home again, in -20 degree 'c' temps, Totally and Completely Soaked With Sweat. I really need help here. I have to walk to my pharmacy every Tuesday and Friday. On the opposite days I have to walk to the Grocery Store, 'same distance' and anywhere else I have to go I have to walk. Usually when it's in the -15 to -25 degree 'C' I have to layer. Underwear, '3' pair of Long Johns and my Snow Pants with are insulated or a pair of Ski/Snow Board Pants that are only insulated with Cold Gear Infrared Insulated pants, I have a Ski-Doo Suit and an Insulated pair of Overally but I have yet to try those two, I'm afraid I'll just soak them and be really cold because they are not windproof as far as I can tell. I have 'Many' health issues that cause sweating and medications that cause sweating, plus I'm Overweight and out of shape because I can't afford to do laundry every day at $ 2.00 to wash and $ 2.00 to dry plus soap. I only get $ 300.00 per month for 'EVERYTHING' except for rent. My Cable/Internet bill alone is $ 175.00 per month, Phone=$ 46.00, Meds not covered by MSI, $ 35.00, Cat Litter and Food=$ 35.00 per month and I haven't bought necessities yet and then with what's left I get food, usually about $ 140.00 per month for food. All kinds of fun eh? I have COPD as well and I have had 'Pneumonia' 3 times in the past 4 yrs and if I continue, this is going to KILL me. So, after the explanation, do you have ANY advice at all for me on these issues with layering and outer winter gear. When I'm heading home from the Pharmacy, usually my underwear and 3 layers of long johns are 'Totally Soaked' and the inside of my VERY OUTER layer is soaked as well, so it's only the very outer layer of my pants that is still dry. If I had to walk another half mile or so, I'd be screwed because I'd be walking homw in -25 degree 'c' temps, 'Totally and Completely Soaked With Sweat', and when I get home, I soak another 2 sets of clothing before I STOP sweating. I really need help and advice here before I wind up dead so PLEASE, any advice or suggestions would be grately appreciated. Please!!!
+Notorious544d Compression gear is intended to squeeze your muscles to aid muscle recovery. Thermals should not squeeze - doing that in very cold conditions could dangerously inhibit circulation.
I like your videos Antonio, but I have do disagree with you on this one. It's slight, however a disagreement nonetheless, and as my friends and family can attest, I always need to voice my opinion (character flaw... sorry my man) The word "thermal underwear" is a bit of a misnomer. The more appropriate term would be "base-layer" and it's key function in wicking! Wicking is the act of removing moisture from your skin, dispersing it over a larger area on the garment, and letting the moisture then evaporate. The concept of warmth is indeed trapped air, however it should not be done at the base layer and should not be used as an insulate. It should be done with "mid-layers" such as fleeces, and/or down or synthetic jackets. The fit of a base layer should be snug but not constricting, but not enough to create any pockets of air. It should be similar to your classic Under Armor shirts, and it should provide some stretch as you also said. Lastly, while Tani is a great brand, it is extremely pricy. For the greatest cost effectiveness, I would suggest a more budget option for your base layer as many work very similarly, except for cotton, never go with cotton the outdoor community as a saying "cotton kills" it's for a reason. Save your money there, and invest in a high quality down or synthetic jacket. The puffier the better (remember the more trapped air the better) Down is a great option if you don't get it wet, and if weight is a big factor, look for higher quality down, like 800-fill and up. Or synthetics are great too if getting wet is a bit more of a concern, Primaloft is an exceptional brand bringing you very close to the loft of down, however retains that loft when/if wet. All-in-all sorry for the rant but I needed to get my point across in the best way possibly as to not just sound like a trolling hater. But save money on bases spend on a jacket. Otherwise great vids Antonio, keep up the great work!
Real Men Real Style You know, that's another thing I like about you. You actually respond to a lot of the comments, and 90% of the time present useful and insightful information. It shows you care enough to get you point across to your viewers, and you manage to do that with a great deal of effectiveness! Take notes from this guy, ladies and gents... This guy has his s#*t together.
No way bro. You're not giving the information we need, for instance; to what degree of Celsius or Fahrenheit will the undergarments keep you warm at? Actually that's it. That's all we need to know.
Nothing beats merino wool period. No synthetic like the stuff from Tani will beat it. Smartwool and Icebreaker are two brands that will out perform any synthetic product. Merino Wool is naturally odor resistant and wicks away moisture while retaining warmth. Please do more research on thermals and materials before promoting an over priced designer synthetic garment.
Men's Long John's aren't cheap. I have time and time again bought Thermals thinking that I was getting something good. My dad used to wear them and he loved wearing long john's and thermal tops. But every time I buy a pair they just don't fit around my crotch area and yet they are way to tight on my legs. What am I doing wrong? I spend all that money and its very tight on my legs almost circulation offing not to mention itchy. And the point of underwear is the keep my crotch and balls in place. If they aren't tight around there then they just aren't going to keep me warm. Cold air can get in. The fact that my long johns never fit right really makes buying them stink. So how do you know what size you need?
George Louis Get something that fits your legs properly, then take the long johns to get fitted around the crotch at a sewshop. Even try asking astounding at places that sell suits if they can alter the crotch for you.

valuable information since i am planning a trip to hokkaido japan in february (one of the coldest months) for their snow festival. however, the prices are toooooo much. im only gonna be in that fridgid temperature for a few days then make my way down to tokyo....i'll need to find some cheaper alternatives. Im just unsure, i am a warm body....i get hot very easily with layers and that is more uncomfortable to me than being cold.
i used to wear long johns. think it's time i went back to them
People..... Do not forget extremities, you loose most of the heat from your head, hands and feet. No matter what you do if you don't insulate those you are fooked.
+leosedf I'm not sure that's true - I read that you lose the same amount from most parts except the neck and chest (you lose more if those are exposed).
Thanks
need tips to purchase Thermal Wear for women
any tips for thermal underwear since long johns make me overheat walking to college classes?
$300 thermal underwear? Uh no, I’ll get mine at Walmart for $15, and yes they work just fine. Just get a cotton/polyester blend, so it wicks away moisture well.
Hey Antonio, thanks for the video, I live in Norway, and thermal undies are an essential here. Could you please make a video about gentlemen's winter head wear?
+guleruten I think I did - do a quick search!
Hey the discount code doesn't work anymore.
Do you have anything for women ?
Awesome.
Id rather freeze than pay that kind of money you can get a good set for 20-50 USD on Amazon or ebay.
Hi Antonio talking about cold weather were do we stand on gloves and scarfs .... could you help me out on that

I really hate cold. Perhaps thermals will be my salvation.
+Steve Petcu Thermals are a big help! You might want to add thermal socks to your list.
the feeling of syntactic to the bare skin is very bad, and can be irritating. also, synthetics smell very bad when soaked with sweat. cotton or wool. synthetics if you are broke.
Hello actually i usually wear cotton vests in summer do ned to wear it under winter thermal to make it comfortable
I bought the same ones for £12 today
What kind of pants/underwear do you wear under the bottoms?
Your normal briefs/ boxers
Hey Man, I have a deadly problem. I have Chronically Severe Full Body Hyperhydrosis. Not just the underarm, hands and feet kind, this is full body and "INTENSE"!!! I have to walk a mile to my Pharmacy and a mile back home again, in -20 degree 'c' temps, Totally and Completely Soaked With Sweat. I really need help here. I have to walk to my pharmacy every Tuesday and Friday. On the opposite days I have to walk to the Grocery Store, 'same distance' and anywhere else I have to go I have to walk. Usually when it's in the -15 to -25 degree 'C' I have to layer. Underwear, '3' pair of Long Johns and my Snow Pants with are insulated or a pair of Ski/Snow Board Pants that are only insulated with Cold Gear Infrared Insulated pants, I have a Ski-Doo Suit and an Insulated pair of Overally but I have yet to try those two, I'm afraid I'll just soak them and be really cold because they are not windproof as far as I can tell. I have 'Many' health issues that cause sweating and medications that cause sweating, plus I'm Overweight and out of shape because I can't afford to do laundry every day at $ 2.00 to wash and $ 2.00 to dry plus soap. I only get $ 300.00 per month for 'EVERYTHING' except for rent. My Cable/Internet bill alone is $ 175.00 per month, Phone=$ 46.00, Meds not covered by MSI, $ 35.00, Cat Litter and Food=$ 35.00 per month and I haven't bought necessities yet and then with what's left I get food, usually about $ 140.00 per month for food. All kinds of fun eh? I have COPD as well and I have had 'Pneumonia' 3 times in the past 4 yrs and if I continue, this is going to KILL me. So, after the explanation, do you have ANY advice at all for me on these issues with layering and outer winter gear. When I'm heading home from the Pharmacy, usually my underwear and 3 layers of long johns are 'Totally Soaked' and the inside of my VERY OUTER layer is soaked as well, so it's only the very outer layer of my pants that is still dry. If I had to walk another half mile or so, I'd be screwed because I'd be walking homw in -25 degree 'c' temps, 'Totally and Completely Soaked With Sweat', and when I get home, I soak another 2 sets of clothing before I STOP sweating. I really need help and advice here before I wind up dead so PLEASE, any advice or suggestions would be grately appreciated. Please!!!
Cal Talbot I know I’m late, but would you consider hand washing your clothes? I do that sometimes as I stay in dorm and only go home on weekends
How much do you get paid to advertise $300 dollar clothing that performs just as well as their $30 counterparts?
Antonio, what's the difference between a thermal and the compression one? The compression one I believe is used more for sports or something?
+Notorious544d Compression gear is intended to squeeze your muscles to aid muscle recovery. Thermals should not squeeze - doing that in very cold conditions could dangerously inhibit circulation.
Thank you ✋🏼
+MOHA ALI You're welcome!
HOW MUCH IS YOUR COMMISSION FROM TANI? Such a conflict of interest
I like your videos Antonio, but I have do disagree with you on this one. It's slight, however a disagreement nonetheless, and as my friends and family can attest, I always need to voice my opinion (character flaw... sorry my man)
The word "thermal underwear" is a bit of a misnomer. The more appropriate term would be "base-layer" and it's key function in wicking! Wicking is the act of removing moisture from your skin, dispersing it over a larger area on the garment, and letting the moisture then evaporate. The concept of warmth is indeed trapped air, however it should not be done at the base layer and should not be used as an insulate. It should be done with "mid-layers" such as fleeces, and/or down or synthetic jackets.
The fit of a base layer should be snug but not constricting, but not enough to create any pockets of air. It should be similar to your classic Under Armor shirts, and it should provide some stretch as you also said.
Lastly, while Tani is a great brand, it is extremely pricy. For the greatest cost effectiveness, I would suggest a more budget option for your base layer as many work very similarly, except for cotton, never go with cotton the outdoor community as a saying "cotton kills" it's for a reason. Save your money there, and invest in a high quality down or synthetic jacket. The puffier the better (remember the more trapped air the better) Down is a great option if you don't get it wet, and if weight is a big factor, look for higher quality down, like 800-fill and up. Or synthetics are great too if getting wet is a bit more of a concern, Primaloft is an exceptional brand bringing you very close to the loft of down, however retains that loft when/if wet.
All-in-all sorry for the rant but I needed to get my point across in the best way possibly as to not just sound like a trolling hater. But save money on bases spend on a jacket. Otherwise great vids Antonio, keep up the great work!
+Jason Fleck Point taken - I go into detail here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/thermal-underwear-guide/

This guy has his s#*t together.
What about fleece thermals
Should I wear undies under thermals?
I Got Mine For Free At The Juvenile Youth House I Have No Idea Why I'm Watching This But It's 3AM
Cotton kills in cold weather.
Here i am living in Thailand watching this 😂
Get the f out
No way bro. You're not giving the information we need, for instance; to what degree of Celsius or Fahrenheit will the undergarments keep you warm at? Actually that's it. That's all we need to know.
seriously, you guys should check out "SAXX" .. and much much cheaper.
+Karl Siroen Thanks for the tip Karl. I'll look into it.
Nice
Nothing beats merino wool period. No synthetic like the stuff from Tani will beat it. Smartwool and Icebreaker are two brands that will out perform any synthetic product. Merino Wool is naturally odor resistant and wicks away moisture while retaining warmth. Please do more research on thermals and materials before promoting an over priced designer synthetic garment.
+Daniel Solis I talked about merino wool in the detailed article - www.realmenrealstyle.com/thermal-underwear-guide/
+Real Men Real Style
The article still pushes synthetics as superior to merino, which is not the case.
Hi sir i am from India I want minous 20 digree controlled winter dres please reply me
What are you talking about? Synthetic materials are the worst for smell, whereas wool is antimicrobial and eliminates odors
I wish you would have covered silk!
+Fuzzy2U Fuzzy2U Sorry! I do in the article
I prefer underwear that is smooth so my outerwear glides over it. I can't stand it when the 2 stick together, causing them to bunch up.
Please stop saying gentlemen so much
can i wear thermal underwear as t-shirt?
question should i wear underwear my thermal underwear or just the trermal underwear
+elzear wade Hi there! Yes you should wear something underneath, it will also give you the extra protection.
Tani Underwear is good quality, I bought one and it is really good. But honestly, $50 for pants made in China? Sorry, no.
임신 두줄 보고 오신분?ㅋㅋ
That sweater , Though
Uh, think I'll just stick my Fruit of the Loom 2 for 15 value pack. Thanks anyway.
Get a 2 piece and tuck the top in
Men's Long John's aren't cheap. I have time and time again bought Thermals thinking that I was getting something good. My dad used to wear them and he loved wearing long john's and thermal tops. But every time I buy a pair they just don't fit around my crotch area and yet they are way to tight on my legs. What am I doing wrong? I spend all that money and its very tight on my legs almost circulation offing not to mention itchy. And the point of underwear is the keep my crotch and balls in place. If they aren't tight around there then they just aren't going to keep me warm. Cold air can get in. The fact that my long johns never fit right really makes buying them stink. So how do you know what size you need?
George Louis Get something that fits your legs properly, then take the long johns to get fitted around the crotch at a sewshop. Even try asking astounding at places that sell suits if they can alter the crotch for you.
