BASE LAYER

Made from a range of high performance fabrics such as merino wool or a polyester blend, a good baselayer provides warmth and maximises breathability. A baselayer efficiently wicks away sweat, preventing excess moisture from building up inside your outfit and making you cold. Designed to fit close to the body to maximise heat retention, a baselayer helps to regulate your body temperature and is fundamental to a good layering system.

THE BENEFITS OF LAYERING

Wearing multiple layers is the best way to stay warm and comfortable and offers greater versatility than wearing a single heavy jacket. Here are the features and benefits of each layer and the main things to look out for when buying your ski outfit this year.

OUTER LAYER

Waterproof, windproof and breathable, a good outer layer keeps moisture out while simultaneously working with the base and mid layers to maximise breathability and regulate your body temperature to prevent overheating. Jackets with an especially high level of waterproofing will have sealed seams to prevent moisture getting in even in the harshest weather.
