Comfortable and practical ski clothing from the inside out (layering principle)
Most experienced skiers are familiar with the layering principle, which, as you may have already guessed, involves wearing multiple layers of ski clothing. There are three essential layers consisting of the following:
- Base layer: The base layer sits close to the skin and effectively transports moisture away, keeping you dry and warm.
- Mid layer: The mid layer retains body heat and can easily be adjusted according to the temperature.
- Outer layer: The outer layer should keep wind and water out, possess a certain breathability, and offer good ventilation for optimal comfort.
The base layer – ski socks, ski underwear, and neck gaiters
This base layer should keep you dry and warm by transporting sweat away from the skin. The base layer can consist of ski socks, which provide comfort and warmth for the feet, ski underwear in the form of a long-sleeved undershirt and long underwear, as well as a soft neck gaiter, which can keep the cold away from your neck. Common to these types of ski clothing is that they have direct contact with your skin.
The mid layer – hoodies, fleece jackets, and hybrid jackets
The mid layer in your ski clothing is also super important for your comfort. This layer is responsible for insulating and retaining body heat. The layer can consist of a soft fleece jacket, a warm hoodie or a versatile hybrid jacket. We naturally offer all types of midlayers.
The outer layer – ski jackets, ski anoraks, down jackets, and ski pants
This layer should keep you dry and warm while allowing your body to breathe. It typically consists of a waterproof ski jacket or a versatile ski anorak, which provides good protection against snow and wind. The ski pants complete the outfit and keep your lower body dry and warm. Modern ski clothing in the outer layer is often equipped with smart details such as snow skirts, ventilation openings, and plenty of pockets.
How much ski clothing should I pack for the trip?
When packing for a week-long ski trip, it is important to bring enough ski clothing to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable in various weather conditions.
For a typical week of skiing, you should pack about three to four sets of ski underwear, four to five pairs of ski socks, a couple of fleece jackets, and a ski jacket. Don't forget accessories like neck gaiters, ski gloves and a hat.
However, how much ski clothing you need to pack ultimately depends on how long you will be away, what the weather is like at your destination, how much you sweat, and other individual factors.
