【Workman】Choose according to the temperature difference! How to use the two types of high-performance innerwear?

In recent times, with the weather and temperatures being unstable, it seems that there are more days where I wonder, "What should I wear today to be correct?" The high-performance innerwear from Workman supports such temperature differences. Even though both are winter innerwear, it appears that the roles of the natural material "merino wool" and the warmth-focused "shinn hotto suru" are different.

Because it's cold, just warming up doesn't keep up with it

When it comes to winter innerwear, one tends to think that as long as it's warm, it's good. However, considering that we move back and forth between outdoors and indoors, as well as between morning/evening and daytime, being warm all the time can sometimes be too hot. If the temperature drops after sweating, your body can get cold from that sweat. That's where Workman expands their "Merino Wool Series" and "Shin Hot Inner Series" as measures against temperature differences.

Both are for winter use, but Merino wool provides moisture absorption and heat generation, along with moisture release and absorption functions. It keeps you warm when it's cold, and releases moisture when you sweat. It adjusts closest to your skin before you put on or take off your outerwear.

Merino wool 100% for everyday use

The "Merino Wool 100 Long Sleeve Crew Neck" is 100% merino wool, as the name suggests. While merino wool is often associated with high-performance outdoor wear, it is designed in a way that is easy to incorporate as an everyday inner layer.
In addition to moisture absorption and heat generation, heat retention, and moisture release, it also features specifications that minimize itchiness. Furthermore, it includes odor control that reduces ammonia, acetic acid, and isobutyric acid. If the temperature changes several times throughout the day—from heading out in the morning, taking the train, entering a heated shop, and then going back out into the cold—having a garment that adjusts not just for warmth but also for moisture is preferable. It’s not just for outdoor use; I would rather want to use it in the city.

In mid-winter, choose "Shin Hot Shiru"

On one hand, what I want to choose for a day that really gets cold is the "Shin Hot Inner." This is a series that sold 1.1 million pieces last year. The 9-sleeve crew neck features a contact temperature sensation that minimizes heat loss as soon as you touch it, along with functionalities such as moisture absorption and heat generation, moisture release, heat retention, antibacterial and deodorizing properties, and static electricity reduction.

It suppresses the chilly feeling when you first wear the clothes while utilizing the moisture emitted from your body to warm you up. Even with winter innerwear, on days with significant temperature differences, I prefer merino wool. On intensely cold days, I go with the Shin Hot Inner. Perhaps the future of selecting winter innerwear is to switch according to the weather and activities of the day.

If you’re going to change something first, start with the layer closest to your skin.

As it gets colder, I tend to think primarily about making my outerwear thicker. But once I step into the train, car, office, or commercial facilities, the heating is running. If I’m wearing a thick outer layer, I can take it off, but if I start sweating inside, it will feel chilly again when I go back outside. Therefore, the first thing to reconsider is the innerwear that is closest to your skin.

Merino wool that adapts to temperature differences, and the Shin Hot Inner which keeps you warm. Instead of choosing winter innerwear based solely on "which is warmer?", I want to choose based on what kind of day it will be. It seems like I’ll soon start checking the temperature difference for the day as soon as I look at the weather forecast every morning.
