FAQ
Is it a sports short or thermal underwear?
It was originally designed as a technical thermal base layer to be worn directly against the skin, but many customers also use it as outerwear for running, cycling, walking, and training.
Can I wear it under jeans or under a dress?
Absolutely. Thanks to its thin, close-fitting design, it can be comfortably worn under jeans, work trousers, hiking pants, motorcycle gear, as well as skirts and dresses, helping to prevent sudden temperature changes.
Is it suitable for cycling?
Yes, it is one of its most appreciated uses. It helps keep the skin dry, protects against the cold, and offers excellent freedom of movement while cycling. Please note that it does not include padding or pockets.
Is it suitable for running?
Yes. The breathable fabric helps wick away moisture and contributes to a comfortable dry feeling, even during intense workouts.
Does it make you sweat?
No. LIOD polypropylene does not retain moisture like many traditional fabrics and helps keep the skin dry during physical activity.
Can I use it all year round?
Yes. It is especially useful in autumn and winter as a thermal base layer, but it is also used year-round for cycling, running, and outdoor activities.
Is it suitable for people who work outdoors?
Many customers use it while working in warehouses, construction sites, workshops, markets, and other unheated environments. Its ability to retain warmth while keeping the skin dry makes it particularly appreciated on cold days.
Is the high waistband uncomfortable?
No. The high waistband is designed to protect the lower back and abdomen from cold drafts, improving comfort especially when bending over or sitting down.
Does the waistband leave marks on the skin?
The waistband elastic is fully covered with LIOD fabric to provide a softer feel and reduce the risk of discomfort or irritation.
Is it visible under trousers?
No. Its close-fitting construction and lack of pockets make it discreet even under jeans and slim-fit or regular-fit trousers.
Is the heavyweight fabric too warm for spring?
No. LIOD polypropylene is a highly breathable and thermoregulating material designed to help the body maintain a comfortable temperature even during physical activity. For this reason, it does not create the typical feeling of excessive heat or the "sauna effect" that can occur with some wool or polyester garments.
On milder or sunnier days, we recommend choosing light or neutral colors, as they tend to absorb less heat than darker shades exposed to direct sunlight. This can further enhance comfort during use.
