Do thermal socks really heat up?
There are many personalized thermal socks on the market now. These personalized thermal socks are well publicized and it has won the favor of many consumers. Thermal socks are pantyhose that can heat up on their own, and they are always out of stock every fall and winter. The origin of the thermal socks is in Japan. Because of the thermal socks, the Japanese girl can be worn very thin even in winter, so does the thermal socks really heat up?
There are two opinions on whether the thermal socks will heat up and keep warm:
The first: Yes
The thermal socks generally contain heating fibers. In fact, it does not heat itself, but it converts its own moisture into heat energy, which maintains the body temperature very well, especially when it comes out of the warm room in winter. Because socks using heat-generating fibers can keep the body temperature well. Thermal socks will not automatically heat up, only the body releases heat, this sock can retain heat. But it's not that it's as warm as expected, just warmer than normal socks.
Principle of thermal socks
Thermal socks are basically converted into heat energy by absorbing outside light energy, sunlight and their own motion energy. If you sit in the house all day, you will not feel the heat in the classroom or office, it’s only going out you will feel the heat. Moreover, there is still a difference between thermal socks and velvet pantyhose. Velvet trousers are kept warm solely by the thickness, but thermal socks are not.
The second: No
The concept of "self-heating" does not conform to the law of conservation of energy, and it must have an energy source. If the heating socks can "make" heat by themselves, this is purely conceptual hype and misleading to consumers.
An industry source mentioned that the heat-generating fiber material is expensive, and the general thermal socks are made from a small amount of heat-generating fiber and other fibers. Therefore, even if wearing real thermal socks, the temperature rise is not likely to be very high, generally can actively raise the temperature 2 ℃ to 4 ℃.
Advantages of thermal socks
- Hard-wearing, no problem for a pair of socks to wear for two years, cost-effective.
- Special weave, soft and high elasticity, adding velvet, close-fitting and comfortable.
- Absolutely will not drop crotch, and will not tighten.
- The design pressure is segmented, the upper and lower pressures are different, the legs and waist feel differently, and it is necessary to be thin and elegant.
- Antibacterial, anti-foot odor, anti-static, and no pilling(the hips that rub a lot may get a little bit)
How to choose thermal socks:
Denier : abbreviated as "D", stands for density. Simple put, the thickness of the socks. The greater the D, the tighter the sock density, that is, the thicker, each series has a D value, from 40D, 80D, 110D, 140D, 180D, 210D , 400D, etc. For example, 400D is thickened with velvet, 180D is equivalent to the thickness of thin long johns. You can wear 140D in early autumn and early winter; values below 100 will be transparent to varying degrees, the black pantyhose is only about 30D or 40D.
Now more and more young ladies choose to wear personalized thermal stockings in winter, one is because of thin, the other is because of warmth. In the north, it is definitely not enough to wear a pair of heated socks or velvet pantyhose in the coldest. If the girls in the south is afraid of the cold winter, she may feel cold. So the safest and warmest way is to wear two thermal socks, or one thermal socks and one velvet trousers or one wool blended socks will definitely not be frozen, and the thermal socks will not be fat, even if they are worn inside, they will not be too swollen.
