How is the thermal insulation performance of Knitted Gloves made of different materials?

As an important accessory for keeping warm in winter, the different materials of Knitted Gloves directly affect the thermal insulation performance.
First of all, wool Knitted Gloves usually have excellent thermal insulation performance. Wool fibers are naturally curled and can form many small air layers, which can effectively block the cold air from the outside, while locking the heat inside the gloves to keep the hands warm. Moreover, wool has good hygroscopicity and can absorb moisture emitted from the hands to a certain extent, keep the hands dry, and further enhance the thermal insulation effect. Even in the cold outdoors, wool Knitted Gloves can provide reliable protection for the hands.
Secondly, the thermal insulation of cotton Knitted Gloves is relatively moderate. Pure cotton is soft and comfortable, with good breathability, but its thermal insulation performance is slightly inferior to wool. It mainly insulates through the air between the fibers, but because the fibers of cotton are relatively thin, the air layer formed is relatively thin. In not too cold weather, cotton gloves are a good choice, especially for those who are allergic to wool.
Furthermore, acrylic knitted gloves also have a certain degree of warmth retention. Acrylic has a similar appearance and feel to wool, and is relatively cheap. Its warmth retention principle is similar to that of wool, and it insulates through the air between fibers. However, acrylic has poor hygroscopicity, and wearing it for a long time may make your hands feel stuffy and airtight.
In addition, there are some knitted gloves made of blended materials, such as wool and acrylic blends, cotton and spandex blends, etc. These blended materials combine the advantages of different fibers and are optimized in terms of warmth retention, elasticity, and comfort. For example, gloves blended with wool and acrylic have the warmth retention of wool and reduce costs; gloves blended with cotton and spandex increase elasticity, making the gloves fit the hands better.
In short, the warmth retention properties of knitted gloves made of different materials vary. When choosing, you should choose according to the actual usage scenario and personal needs to ensure that your hands can be effectively warmed in the cold season.
