Have you ever gone out dressed warmly in winter... but ended up sweating like it was summer?
You're not alone. Many winter accessories are warm, yes, but they don't allow the body to breathe, causing sweat, discomfort and even odor. What you need is not more coat, but the right coat.
Read on and find out which are the best winter accessories to avoid sweating without getting cold.
Breathable hats and neck warmers
Recommended materials
Not everything goes to protect the head and neck. Wearing thick wool or synthetic fabrics without breathability can make you sweat in minutes. The key? Choose technical fabrics such as micro-perforated polyester, breathable cotton or elastane blends, which insulate from the cold without trapping moisture.
Antibacterial options
Some neckerchiefs and hats, such as sports-type hats, come with anti-odor and antibacterial treatments, perfect for those who wear them for hours at a time. This prevents odor caused by sweat and protects your skin.
Gloves that prevent sweating and humidity
Textile innovations for hands
Traditional gloves are warm, but many do not breathe. New functional models incorporate fabrics with absorbent inner and windproof outerlayers, allowing sweat to evaporate without letting the cold in.
Everyday and sports use
If you wear gloves for walking or sports, go for lightweight, close-fittingversions with ventilation in key areas. Some sports gloves also feature tactile and moisture-wicking fabrics, ideal for cell phones and outdoor training.
Technical footwear and socks for cold weather
Avoiding sweating and keeping feet dry
Feet are one of the points where you sweat the most. If you wear closed shoes without breathability, the result is a disaster: humidity, bad odor and cold when the sweat cools down. Choose technical boots or shoes with waterproof and breathable membranes, such as those with technical mesh or micro-perforated linings.
The technical socks, especially those with anti-odor technology or fabrics such as Coolmax, keep your feet dry for longer and prevent blisters or irritation.
How to clean functional accessories
It's not enough to just wear them, they need to be cared for. Wash your technical socks and hats with mild detergents and lukewarm water, avoiding fabric softeners. This will maintain their breathability and antibacterial properties for longer.
Other useful winter accessories
Windproof garments and their advantages
A good windbreaker is lightweight, breathable and prevents perspiration better than many thick jackets. Some models incorporate ventilation zones in the armpits or back, maintaining a stable temperature without overheating the body.
Care and storage
Store all your winter accessories clean and dry. Avoid leaving them damp inside closed backpacks or drawers, as this encourages bad odors and loss of technical properties. Use breathable bags or open boxes.
It's not a matter of getting warmer, but of getting warmer. If you want to stay dry, comfortable and sweat-free in winter, choose technical accessories designed to regulate temperature and humidity.
