thermal shirt

Insulating base garment

A thermal shirt is a close-fitting undergarment made from insulating fabric, designed to retain body heat in cold conditions.

The characteristic waffle-weave texture traps warm air against the skin.

Thermals can be worn as a base layer under other clothing or on their own: He pulled on a thermal shirt before heading out into the snow.
