When going on a ski trip, think carefully about your outfit. It should be beautiful, comfortable and, what is especially important, keep warm, preventing overheating. Do not skimp on equipment - comfortable and high-quality things will help you out in cold weather and will last for more than one season.

Instructions
Step 1
The most important rule for everyone who is keen on winter sports is the layer-by-layer principle of clothing. Three layers of things are designed to provide normal thermoregulation, warm and protect from frost and wind.
Step 2
The first layer closest to the body is modern thermal underwear. It is much more practical than cotton - the fibers of the fabric absorb sweat and dry instantly, without cooling the skin or causing unnecessary inconvenience. Choose a sweatshirt with a crew neck and long sleeves and complement it with long leggings. There are models for men and women - they differ in size and some anatomical nuances. Do not buy underwear that is too tight - it can interfere with normal blood circulation.
Step 3
For skiing in very cold or windy weather, add another layer of equipment. Put on a warm thermal shirt and cropped tights. You can pull a thin woolen sweater over it. Do not choose too voluminous models - it will be inconvenient to move in them. Complete the outfit with a windproof jumpsuit or a combination of padded pants and a jacket.
Step 4
Don't forget your feet. The best option is long thermal socks that protect the ankle and part of the lower leg. If one pair isn't enough, put on two. Make sure that the socks do not squeeze your feet, otherwise your feet will quickly freeze.
Step 5
When choosing a hat, pay attention to the model that covers the ears. If you cannot find a suitable hat, supplement the existing one with a warm bandage or headphones. Take care of your face too. To protect the throat, chin and nape, there are special devices - buffs. They are usually worn by snowboarders, but for cross-country skiers, the buff will be an excellent protection.
Step 6
The last but very important accessory is gloves. Regular cross-country ski gloves may seem too thin to you. An excellent way out is to put on two pairs at once or pick up special double models that allow you to adjust the number of layers. If your hands get cold, buy double-layer sports mittens or ski gloves.
