The Basics: Must-Have Clothing for Skiing

The weather in ski resorts can be unpredictable, so it’s important to dress in layers. Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Thermal Base Layers
   • Start with high-quality thermal tops and leggings to keep you warm. These are essential for trapping heat and wicking moisture away from your skin.
2. Mid-Layers
   • This is where your ski hoodie comes in! Perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth without the bulk, our hoodies are both stylish and functional.
3. Waterproof Ski Jacket and Trouserssome text
   • Protect yourself from snow and wind with waterproof outerwear. Look for breathable materials to keep you comfortable throughout the day.
4. Ski Socks
   • Invest in thick, high-quality ski socks to keep your feet warm and prevent blisters.
5. Gloves or Mittens
   • Choose insulated, waterproof gloves or mittens for maximum warmth and grip.
6. Hat and Neck Warmer
   • Keep your head and neck toasty with a snug beanie and a neck warmer. These are essential for braving the cold on ski lifts.

Accessories to Pack

You’ll need more than just clothes to have a successful ski trip. Don’t forget these essential accessories:

1. Ski Goggles or Sunglasses
   • Protect your eyes from glare and snow with a good pair of ski goggles or UV-protected sunglasses.
2. Helmet
   • Safety first! Helmets are a must for skiing and snowboarding, and many resorts require them.
3. Sunscreen and Lip Balm
   • Yes, you can get sunburned in the snow! Pack high-SPF sunscreen and lip balm to protect your skin.
4. Reusable Water Bottle
   • Stay hydrated throughout the day by bringing a reusable water bottle. Look for an insulated one to keep your drinks warm or cold.
5. Backpack
   • A small, lightweight backpack is handy for carrying essentials like snacks, water, and an extra layer.

Après-Ski Essentials

The fun doesn’t stop once you’re off the slopes! Here’s what you’ll need for those cosy evenings in the chalet or lodge:

1. Leisurewear
   • Your leavers hoodie is the perfect piece for relaxing in style and comfort after a long day. Pair it with joggers or leggings for the ultimate casual look.
2. Comfortable Shoes
   • Bring a pair of comfortable trainers or slippers for lounging around the resort.
3. Entertainment
   • Pack a book, tablet, or card games to enjoy during downtime with friends.
4. Toiletries
   • Don’t forget your toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and any other personal care items you need.
