Keys to Choosing Your Ski Clothing: The Three-Layer System

The secret to staying comfortable on the mountain is to dress in layers. This system allows you to regulate your body temperature by adding or removing garments according to weather conditions and your activity level.

1. First Layer (Base Layer): Its function is to wick sweat to keep skin dry. Always use thermal clothing made of synthetic materials or merino wool, never cotton.
2. Second Layer (Insulation): Provides warmth. Fleece linings or lightweight synthetic fiber jackets are ideal for trapping the warm air generated by your body.
3. Third Layer (Protection): The outer layer protects you from wind, snow and rain. It should be a ski jacket and pants with waterproof and breathable membranes.

Essential Features in Your Ski Clothing

Not all winter clothing is suitable for skiing. Make sure your garments have these technical features to guarantee your comfort and protection.

Feature	Description	Why is it important?
Waterproofing	The garment's ability to prevent water (snow, rain) from penetrating. It is measured in water columns (mm).	Keeps you dry and prevents loss of body heat due to moisture. Look for a minimum of 10.000 mm.
Breathability	The fabric's ability to expel water vapor (sweat) to the outside. Measured in g/m²/24h.	Prevents sweat from cooling on your skin, keeping you dry from the inside. Look for a minimum of 10.000 g/m²/24h.
Thermal Insulation	Materials (down or synthetic fibers) that retain body heat.	Essential to maintain stable body temperature in cold climates.
Sealed Seams	The garment's seams are sealed on the inside to prevent water from entering through the stitches.	Reinforces waterproofing at the weakest points of the jacket or pants.
Snow Gaiter	An elastic inner band at the waist of the jacket to prevent snow from entering in case of a fall.	An extra layer of protection essential to keep the torso dry.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ski Clothing

What clothing do I need to ski for the first time?

If it's your first time, the essential is to follow the three-layer system: a thermal shirt and tights (first layer), a fleece layer (second layer), and a waterproof ski jacket and pants (third layer). Don't forget key accessories like ski gloves, tall thick socks, a beanie and sunglasses or a snow mask.

How should ski clothing be washed?

To avoid damaging waterproof and breathable properties, wash your ski clothing in the washing machine on a delicate cycle and cold water (maximum 30ºC). Use a neutral detergent specific to technical garments. Do not use fabric softener as it clogs the membrane pores. Close all zippers and velcro before washing. To dry it, the ideal is outdoors and in the shade.

Is there a difference between ski and snowboard clothing?

Although both are suitable for snow, there are some differences. Snowboard clothing tends to have a looser (oversized) cut for greater freedom of movement in tricks and rotations. Ski clothing tends to be more fitted and athletic cut. However, the final choice depends on your personal preference and comfort.

Can mountain clothing be used for skiing?

A good waterproof and breathable mountain jacket can work as a third layer. However, specific ski clothing usually includes very useful extras like the snow gaiter, a lift ticket pocket on the sleeve or reinforcements on the lower pants that trekking clothing doesn't always have.
