How to wear skiwear

The most common way of dressing for skiing is in three layers.

The first layer: the base layer; the most important function of a quick-drying jacket is to absorb sweat and keep the body dry.

The second layer: the warmth layer; the temperature at the ski resort is still quite low, so the warmth mainly relies on the middle layer, which is usually made of fleece or down. Fleece is more breathable and down is warmer (if you want down, you can choose a lighter version), so you can choose according to the snow temperature.

The third layer is a wind and water resistant layer, which is what we call a ski jacket. The main purpose of this layer is to protect against wind, water, breathability and abrasion.

1. snow skirt: the ski jacket will have a snow skirt at the waist to prevent the snow from entering through the waist when falling.

2. collar: a high collar design to protect against the wind and increase warmth during skiing.

3. underarm zips: to increase breathability and dissipate heat.

4. cuffs: generally two layers, with lined gloves.

5. pockets: pockets for ski passes on the cuffs and mesh pockets inside for goggles etc.

Waterproofing and breathability are important

There is no doubt that when skiing you will be dealing with snow, novices may fall a lot, experts may ski powder snow, snow is bound to get on you and if you can't make it waterproof then your clothes will soon get wet and the next thing you know is the biting cold in the snow. As mentioned earlier, skiing is athletic and generates heat. If you don't get rid of the heat in time, it gathers inside and you sweat more, so it's no good having quick-drying clothes. Usually there are zips under the armpits and even on the inner thighs of the ski suit to increase breathability. Of course, high-end skiwear often has underarm zips for better breathability. The most important thing to understand when choosing skiwear is two things: your needs and your budget.

Requirements: frequency of skiing (how many times a year, how many days at a time), at which ski resorts

Budget: How much does a ski trip cost and how much can be divided between ski clothes?

If you're new to skiing, there's no need to buy expensive skiwear at all. 300$ or less is enough; to be honest, if you buy too good skiwear, it won't show its performance. If you want to look good for photos, then just go for something that looks good and you don't need to be too demanding about performance.

If you have been skiing for a few years, then you can consider skiwear that is over a thousand dollars, with higher performance requirements, such as waterproof 10000+. If you are on a tight budget, you should give priority to performance, and if it's ugly, it's ugly; if you have a big budget, you can consider performance + value.
