The set is available in blue, white and black, with different sizes from S to XL to choose from. Our test specimen is in size M, and it fits our slim tester perfectly. The set fits well without being uncomfortably tight and offers a high level of comfort even after prolonged wear.
A particularly positive feature is the wide, elasticated waistband, which ensures a secure and comfortable fit. The trouser legs are cut long and narrow, which ensures a good fit and prevents the clothing from slipping. This allows good freedom of movement, making the suit suitable for sporting activities.
In the last part of our practical test, we wash the thermo set according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This is an easy-care wash cycle at 30 °C without drying and ironing, which corresponds to the usual specifications for comparable garments. The set survives the washing process without damage or discoloration. This means the set always remains hygienically clean.
It is a reliable choice for anyone looking for optimum protection and warmth in cold temperatures without sacrificing freedom of movement and comfort.
