I hope this helps you find the best cooling innerwear for you.
Well, let's get started!
A thorough explanation of men's cooling innerwear! How to choose the right one for you and recommended products [Table of Contents]
1.What is cooling innerwear?
Overview of cooling materials
※The image is an image
Cooling materials are fabrics that contain technology that makes them cool to the touch. The moment your skin touches the fabric, heat is transferred to it, and this cool sensation is only temporary and does not last forever.
However, it still feels cooler than regular clothing, so it's a highly recommended item for anyone wanting a refreshing feeling.
Characteristics of cooling innerwear
The cooling innerwear has a cool feel and is comfortable to wear. It is also highly breathable and absorbent, so it quickly absorbs sweat and prevents the skin from becoming sticky, keeping you comfortable.
In addition, it is also effective in protecting against UV rays, so you can wear it safely even in the summer when the sun is strong. The UV protection function is a nice feature considering the recent rise in temperature.
I think cooling innerwear is the ultimate innerwear for both men and women, as it can withstand the heat and sunlight of summer!
2. The effect of cooling innerwear
Reason for coolness
There are two main reasons why cooling innerwear feels cool.
- Because it is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, heat is removed the moment it touches the skin.
- The material is highly breathable, allowing air to pass through and evaporate sweat.
Comfortable to wear even when sweaty

Cool innerwear provides a comfortable fit even when you sweat. It is made of highly moisture-absorbent and quick-drying materials, so it quickly absorbs and dries sweat. Some also have deodorizing and antibacterial effects. These functions prevent sweat odor and stickiness.
Also effective against ultraviolet (UV) rays

Cool innerwear is also effective in protecting against ultraviolet rays. It uses materials with a high ultraviolet (UV) blocking rate, reducing damage to the skin. Long-sleeved cooling innerwear in particular thoroughly covers exposed areas such as hands and arms. This is a feature that is appreciated by both men and women.

When choosing cooling innerwear, pay attention to the following points:
Material Type
- Polyester: High thermal conductivity and cool feel. Quick drying and durability.
- Nylon: Like polyester, it has high thermal conductivity and a cool feel. It is also highly elastic and strong.
- Cotton: A natural material that feels good on the skin and has high breathability and moisture absorption. However, it does not dry quickly.
- Rayon: A natural material that feels good on the skin, is highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying.
- Acrylic: Low thermal conductivity and warm feel. High heat retention and durability.
What is Q-max, the standard for coolness to the touch?
- 0.2 or higher: For the first time, it can be called a "cool to the touch material." You can feel a slight coolness.
- 0.25 or higher: A moderate cooling sensation. 0.25 or higher is comfortable even in the hot summer.
- 0.3 or above: Very cold.
- 0.4 or above: Feels quite cool .
How to choose a size
It is important to choose the size of your cooling innerwear based on your body type. If the size does not fit, it may affect the comfort and functionality of the garment. Here are some points to consider when choosing the right size:
- Shoulder width: Measure from the most protruding part of your shoulder. If the shoulder width is not right, your shoulders will feel cramped and your shoulder line will be distorted.
- Chest: Measure the fullest part of your chest. If the chest circumference is not right, your chest may be compressed or your chest line may be distorted.
- Length: Measure from the base of the neck to the hem. If the length is not right, your waist will be visible and the hem will look sloppy.
Sizes and actual measurements may vary depending on the product, so be sure to check before purchasing.
How to choose a design
It's a good idea to choose the design of your cooling innerwear based on your preferences and outfit. There are the following types of designs:
- Neck: It depends on the shape of the neck, such as mock neck, V-neck, crew neck, etc. V-necks have the effect of making the neck look neat. Crew necks give a casual impression.
- Sleeve length: It depends on the length of the sleeve, such as short sleeves or long sleeves. Short sleeves feel cool. Long sleeves protect against ultraviolet rays.
- Color: There are basic colors such as white and black, and colorful colors such as blue and red. Basic colors are easy to match with any outfit and can be worn simply. Colorful colors are recommended for those who want to show their individuality. However, caution is required if the color is see-through.
