A beginner on the track can be recognized not only by hesitant movements, but also by the wrong clothes. The selection of ski equipment must be treated with maximum attention, because the comfort of skiing depends on it. Today, a huge number of specialized sports companies produce many different types of clothing for alpine skiing, such an assortment will confuse any person. To choose the right clothes, you can use the following tips.
Instructions
Step 1
A skier's clothing should consist of three layers. The first layer is thermal underwear. Despite its name, it is intended not to warm a person, but to repel moisture from his body. Indeed, skating in wet underwear is not only unpleasant, but also very cold. Lingerie should fit snugly around your body, and the material from which it is made should absorb moisture and repel it to the top layer. In no case do not wear cotton underwear - it perfectly absorbs moisture, but it only part with it when squeezing. Also, thermal underwear can have hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties.
Step 2
The next layer is insulation, it protects us from the cold. Some people prefer a down lining (which is suitable for severe frosts), others wear a woolen sweater, sometimes a few. But in fact, fleece is ideal for the second layer. Such clothing warms very well, does not get wet, perfectly conducts moisture released by thermal underwear.
Step 3
The purpose of the last layer is to protect us from moisture and wind. People often wear simple windbreakers. But they are not very suitable for skiers, because such a jacket will protect you well from the wind, but at the same time it will prevent moisture from escaping to the outside. As a result, very quickly, between the second and third layers, a real "bath" will turn out. Technologies with the required characteristics are expensive. But with the help of them, you are guaranteed to get a lot of positive emotions from the trip. High-quality ski outerwear should consist of two layers: inner (membrane) and outer (dense fabric). Such fabrics have two indicators: vapor permeability coefficients (shows how much steam the fabric will pass per day) and water resistance (shows the height of the water column that the fabric will withstand). The more these two characteristics are, the better.
