How to layer clothing for skiing
Stay protected from snow sprays and windy mountain tops while remaining free and flexible with a sensible layering system. Layering your clothes makes it easier for you to control your temperature and enjoy your ski.
How to layer when you’re skiing.
Layer up and stay agile on the slopes by choosing thin, breathable fabrics with a great weight-to-warmth ratio.
A high wicking base layer.
You’re going to face a lot of extreme changes in temperature when you’re hitting the slopes, so starting with a base layer that can absorb moisture and keep you dry is essential. You’ll also want an ultra-soft fabric like merino wool that will be gentle on your skin.
A breathable mid-layer (or two).
The freedom to ski without bulky clothes comes from choosing your mid-layers wisely. Add several thin layers that will allow you to trap insulating heat between them, from t-shirts to long-sleeved tops. For particularly cold climates, a gilet is an excellent addition as it offers loads of warmth while still making it easy to swing your arms.
A waterproof outer layer.
A breathable jacket made from waterproof fabric is great for helping you stay fresh while keeping out the worst of any fresh snowfall. A zip up outer layer with pockets and a high neck will help you keep your layering system sealed.
Accessories for your skiing trip.
Cosy neck warmers are a top choice for skiing. Our warmers are specially designed to work with our jackets and tops, helping you stay insulated on your adventures. A hat is a must-have, as are some well-fitting and cosy socks.
