	First of all, in answering this question, please understand that the first layer basically brings out 100% of the performance of outerwear (water pressure and moisture permeability), and that it has sweating and heat retention. The first layer is also a T-shirt, but the materials are very different. The thing called the first layer uses a material with sweating and heat retention. On the other hand, 100% cotton material is used in a relatively large amount for what is called a general T-shirt. (In the story, we assume 100% cotton this time.) Since 100% cotton T-shirts easily absorb sweat and have a weak sweating effect, sweat-soaked T-shirts lower the body temperature in winter mountains.When your body temperature drops, you are more likely to get tired, and when you get tired (when you are out of the pool in the summer), you are more likely to get injured.The first layer is indispensable for comfortable snowboarding.


	It's not without cool designs.I think that the T-shirt that can be considered here is a printed T-shirt, but the commonly used silk print interferes with the sweating property of the first layer. (Because silk printing creates a wall where sweat can escape ...) There are some breakthroughs depending on the printing technique and size, but it is not without designs such as base color and piss name.Please keep in mind that it is the first layer (underwear), use a base color that makes dirt less noticeable, and emphasize functionality, so please understand that there are many simple designs. (Because a large silk-screen print is just a name, even if it is called the first layer)


	The name is different depending on each material manufacturer.This is a trademark and cannot be given the same name. (Example: Walkman is a trademark of Sony, and Panasonic cannot use this name.) However, although there are some differences in performance between manufacturers, we have developed a first layer using materials that have sweating properties and heat retention. Therefore, please select the characteristics of each manufacturer (those with excellent sweating properties and those with excellent heat retention).


	Which one is better depends on the price, so it cannot be said unconditionally.However, the first layer from each snowboard wear maker is produced with size specifications in consideration of the movement of the snowboard, so it is said that it is a product developed for snowboarders compared to the first layer for mountains. Is a fact.


	The large size does not significantly reduce performance.This also has a balance with middle layer outerwear, so please choose the size according to the middle layer outerwear.If the balance is not good, the inner may become fluffy, or it may feel uncomfortable due to a slight twist, leading to discomfort. Please select your best size in a well-balanced manner and snowboard comfortably.



	As I mentioned earlier, the first layer is made of a material that retains heat and sweats.Please ride comfortably with solid layering (first layer + middle layer + outerwear).With proper layering, you can spend comfortably even in the world of XNUMX degrees below zero.


	Layering is, in a nutshell, layering.It is combined according to the temperature, but it is common to combine the first layer (sweat / heat retention) + middle layer (sweat / heat retention) + outerwear (water resistance / water repellency / moisture permeability).For comfortable snowboarding in the winter mountains, we recommend the correct layering that is easy to move and does not get tired.


	First of all, it is best to wear outerwear.However, if it's cold even if you wear outerwear, I think it will be more comfortable if you change the first layer to a thicker one or layer the middle fleece (which is also the case with the wind stopper fleece) to make two pieces. In the case of extreme cold Example: First layer + Micro fleece + Wind stopper fleece + Outerwear (From left to right)


	If you are cold, we recommend that you choose pants with batting (chemical fibers such as Thinsulate) when choosing outerwear.However, there is also a fleece for the lower body, so you can try it, or you will feel the coldest at your feet, so it is recommended to wear warm snowboard socks.



	Fabrics that retain heat, dry quickly, and sweat are often used, and are mainly effective in keeping body temperature constant.If you sweat and your T-shirt gets wet, your body temperature will drop.A decrease in body temperature can stiffen the muscles and lead to injury. Keeping your body temperature constant is essential for a comfortable ride.


	The effect is slightly different for each company's material, but there is no difference in the same first layer. It's like comparing a Toyota car to a Nissan car. Each has its own characteristics, but the genres are the same, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.


	There is no special care method.Please refer to the laundry label attached to each product.



	The effects of heat retention, quick-drying, and sweating can be obtained.Keeping your body temperature constant and preventing muscle stiffness also helps prevent injuries.


	Normal socks do not have a 90 degree heel.Conventionally, the human heel is kept at XNUMX degrees.Therefore, the heel part is kept at XNUMX degrees.Here are the ergonomic socks. Also, I think humans are getting thicker from the ankles to the calves.Based on that, the socks are thicker from the ankle to the calf, which is the ergonomic sock. (Many normal socks have a constant thickness) I hope you can understand that ergonomics is in line with the original human creation.


	The wind stopper fleece has a special film on the back of the fleece fabric that allows steam to pass through without allowing air to pass through. (XNUMX-layer structure) The film effect has the effect of preventing air from passing through (wind stopper). Micro fleece is a micro (fine) fleece compared to normal fleece.
