Going Skiing? Picking the Clothes to Make Your Ski Day Enjoyable
No matter your level of skiing experience wearing the proper ski clothing is important to your overall enjoyment. Being wet, cold, and miserable will take the fun out of what can be a very fun recreational sport. You want to stay warm and dry while being comfortable at the same time. Fortunately this is easy to do if you use the proper skiing clothes and equipment. Let’s start at the top and work our way down. Either a good hat or helmet is a definite must. You will loose more heat through the top of your head then anywhere else on your body. This is particularly true when skiing first thing in the morning. As the day where’s on it may warm up enough that you can just put your hat in a pocket. A good pair of ski goggles or sun glasses is also something that you can’t go without. Protecting your eyes from the wind, blowing snow, and the intense rays of the sun reflecting off the snow is very important. Goggles will also make it easier to see the terrain which can translate into better overall skiing performance. Next you need to keep your body warm and dry. Start with a base layer of moisture wicking fabric like silk or micro-knitted fleece. This will keep any perspiration away from your body which is key to remaining warm and comfortable. Over this base layer you can add another layer such as a lightweight fleece shirt or jacket or ski vest. This is the main insulating layer so it pays to choose it wisely. Over your base layers you will need a ski jacket. Your ski jacket protects you against the element; wind, cold, snow, and water. Choose one that offers the option of a zip-in liner which can further help you adjust your layering needs depending on weather and temperature conditions. Your gloves or mittens should be waterproof and fit loosely enough to allow good blood circulation to your fingers, while at the same time you need to be able to have a good grip on your ski poles. For your legs you will want a good set of waterproof/windproof ski pants or bibs. Under this you will want an insulating layer to stay warm. Fleece pants or heavy polypropylene long underwear are both good choices. They will need to fit snuggly over your ski boots to keep the snow out but still be loose enough to give you complete freedom of movement. For your feet a pair of ski socks is a must. They should be stretchy and conform to the shape of your foot without being overly tight. You do not want to constrict the blood flow to your toes because once they get cold they are hard to warm back up. Ski socks should also be made of wicking material to keep moisture away from your skin. Choosing the proper ski clothes will go a long ways towards your ultimate enjoyment of your day on the slopes. Being cold and wet is no fun and can be avoided if you take the time to outfit yourself with the right kind of clothing.
