Eskeez Super Thermals

Technical benefits

What are they?

Eskeez fleece fabric has an incredibly warm and comfortable tight brush fleece on the inside and smooth slip knit on the outside, making it easy to wear other clothes on top. Eskeez should be worn next to the skin at all times to maximise the garments performance. Our yarns are coated with a durable water repellent making these products very fast drying. All threads are soft bulk threads to leave gentle internal seams next to the skin. The garments are constructed using full stretch overlock, serger and cover stitching. This gives comfort and a superior fit.

What is a base layer/underwear?

This is the first thing you put on when you are dressing for sport or active outdoor wear. It will keep you warm when you are too cold and dry should you get too warm. It will naturally wick sweat away from the body and move it away to the next layer. A base layer is normally worn under a shirt, jacket or jumper. In Europe a base layer is called the next layer of skin. In America it is called the first layer.

What is wicking?

This refers to technical fabrics that move sweat away from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where moisture can evaporate away. Eskeez products have a unique capillary action that quickly and effectively removes moisture from the skin keeping you warm and dry.

Why choose Eskeez fleece for wicking and not cotton or wool?

Even though both cotton and wool are porous, they will absorb and generally 'hold' water. Cotton will not wick when it is wet. Once it becomes wet or saturated it tends to stay wet keeping the wearer damp and therefore cool. Wool as a base layer can wick moisture away but only if it is knitted in a certain way. Eskeez fleece allows for a densely brushed surface to be next to the skin giving both warmth and comfort and smooth outer knit surface to wick any moisture away and enable easy dressing of the next layer.
