Cold Weather Thermals for Working in Low Temperatures
A thermal base layer sits close to the skin which helps retain warmth while moving moisture away from the body. This reduces the cold, damp feeling that can develop when work alternates between physical activity and periods of limited movement.
The tops and pants use a close fit and flatlocked seams to sit comfortably beneath normal clothing. This range is practical insulation layer clothing for wearing under work trousers, shirts and outerwear, leaving your outer layers to provide any required weather protection or workplace visibility.

Thermal Tops, Pants and Accessories
Short sleeved thermal tops provide core insulation while leaving the lower arms uncovered. They are useful beneath short sleeved work shirts or when a full long sleeved layer would feel too warm. Long sleeved thermal tops extend the same protection along the arms, while full length thermal pants add warmth beneath work trousers. Men’s tops and pants are available in navy and white with women’s styles available in white.
The range also covers exposed areas around the head and neck. The double layer snood can be worn around the neck or pulled over the nose or back of the head. The thermal balaclava can sit beneath the chin or cover the nose while the thermal hijab provides full head and neck coverage with an elongated back.
How to Choose the Right Base Layer Clothing
Start with the amount of coverage you need. A short sleeved top suits active work, milder conditions or shifts that move between indoor and outdoor areas. Choose a long-sleeved top when you need additional arm coverage then add thermal pants where the legs will also be exposed to prolonged cold.
For head and neck protection, choose the snood if you want a flexible covering that can be adjusted throughout the day. The balaclava provides closer coverage around the head, face and neck, while the hijab offers extended head and neck protection.
FAQ
What is base layer clothing?
Base layer clothing is the first layer worn next to the skin. It provides insulation, helps manage moisture and adds warmth beneath regular clothing or workwear.
What makes these thermals suitable for cold weather?
The Pulsar Blizzard garments use a polyester and VILOFT blend with thermal and wicking properties. The tops and pants are close-fitting and use flatlocked seams for comfort beneath other clothing.
Should thermal base layers fit tightly?
They should fit close to the body without feeling restrictive. A close fit helps the fabric manage moisture and prevents excess material from gathering beneath your other layers.
Can thermal tops and pants be worn together?
Yes. Wearing a top and full-length pants together provides upper- and lower-body insulation. You can also wear either piece separately where only partial coverage is needed.
Do I still need a jacket over cold weather thermals?
Thermals provide the insulating base layer, but they do not replace suitable outerwear. Add a fleece or jacket for further warmth and use an appropriate outer layer where protection from wind, rain or reduced visibility is required.
