Skiing Clothing #101
The basic things to avoid when choosing ski clothing include these key skiing wear tips:
DON’T WEAR Jeans -
Heavy denim just gets soaked quickly and it’s not windproof. A perfect comnbination for skiing misery
DON’T CHOOSE cotton socks -
Cottons great in the hot, summer days when you want something liht and natural but for skiing it just holds the sweat and can make your feet feel miserably cold. A real enjoyment killer when it somes to getting the most out your skiing.
DON’T GO FOR cotton waffle underwear -
They retain any sweatiness and don’t transfer it (or ‘wick’ it) away from the body - leaving you soon feeling wet, uncomfortable and chafing!
DON’T WEAR stretch pants that you stick into the top of your boots -
It’s tempting and seems a good idea, at first…BUT it causes your boots to fit badly leading to discomfort and development of sore areas.
