The difference between thermals and compression tights Many athletes, especially those who work out in cold weather, wonder about the difference between thermal and compression tights. Now, term “thermals� can connote several different types of clothing, from tights to shorts to shirts. Some people even consider sweats to be thermals. Essentially, the term means any clothing that will keep you warm.

Thermals are usually created from materials designed to keep body heat close to the skin to keep the body warmer overall. Some thermals are thick and somewhat bulky, often made of materials such as wool;while the high-tech thermal pieces may be thinner and fit closer to the body.

Now compression tights are just as their name says: They are tights that provide “compression.” Interestingly, this compressionbenefit can also help keep the muscles warm, similar to thermals. However, compression tights offer additional benefits which thermals do not such as: 

Increased blood circulation

Increases oxygenation in the blood

Prevents strains and pulls

Prevents chafing

Muscle recovery

Compression wear also provides wicking properties, which can help keep moisture away from the skin so sweat doesn’t build up.
