Posted on 23. Dec, 2011 by admin in Skiing
Ski clothes are designed to keep skiers warm while out on the slopes. Skiers not only want to keep warm but some also want look good. So what do you really need for the slopes? The best thing to do is layer up from top to bottom. Then, you can remove layers when you are sitting in the ski lodge, yet still make sure you are warm on the slopes.
- Undergarments are important because they hold in the heat and protect you from the wetness. You can buy silk long underwear or thermal underwear. Make sure whatever style you get is warm, durable, waterproof, and not too bulky.
- Ski pants are a must. Not only do they keep you dry but they also accommodate your snow boots.
- Ski jackets should be heavy and should be worn over a long sleeved shirt or wool sweater. Make sure it gives you enough room to move and is not tight.
- Socks/Shoes need to be insulated and waterproof to protect your feet. Some are even padded to keep your feet from being sore from the ski boots.
- Hat, gloves and goggles are also needed to protect your eyes, head and hands from the extreme cold, snow, and ice.
- Other accessories a variety of scarves, hats, and earmuffs can be worn but are not essential.
