Winter sports and cold go hand in hand. If you want to stay warm during your ski trip, it is very important that you dress sensibly. Baselayers are an essential part of your clothing and can ensure a comfortable ski trip.
Why is baselayers so important during a ski trip?
A ski trip is spent high in the mountains where the temperature often drops below 0 degrees. The rain that we know changes into snowflakes that ultimately ensure that we can practice our beloved winter sport. With some regularity, the temperature drops even further, which means that your body has to work hard to keep everything at the right temperature. Wearing baselayers helps enormously with this.
Baselayers are worn directly on the skin and fits tightly so that it can keep your body warm. Good functional baselayers creates an ultra-thin layer of air that retains heat well and allows moisture to pass through. This ensures that your body stays warm and perspiration is transported to the outside.
Because every body reacts differently to cold and exertion, we have created various thermal sets with which we have also developed the ideal baselayers for you.
What baselayers should I wear for my ski trip?
That depends on the location, the time of year and the expected weather forecast. To make it easier, we have defined 3 winter sports weather forecasts that are recognizable for your holiday.
Cold bleak winter sports days in January/February: Think of the Christmas holidays or a ski trip in January. It is cold, dark quickly, little sun and a lot of wind and snow. But also think of a winter trip to Antarctica, Lapland or Northern Norway. For these moments we have developed a thermal set that is mainly made to keep your body warm. The fabric is slightly thicker, fits tightly around the body and has a lot of stretch. The thermal set that we have developed for this feels comfortable and warm and you would prefer to keep it on day and night.
Winter sports holiday in the spring. Especially for this moment we have developed two thermo sets. The first is a thin thermo set in the color black that is especially good at removing perspiration moisture due to the drop-needle technique in the fabric. Because the fabric is thinner it is also a cheaper thermo set to produce which is reflected in the price.

The functionality is somewhat less than the Superior thermal set or the Technical thermal set , but the colour and print do look a lot cooler.
