Ski trip packing always sounds easier than it is. One minute you’re confidently tossing in your goggles, the next, you’ve packed four hoodies and still forgot your thermals.
We’ve overpacked, underpacked, and forgotten our base layers more than once, so you don’t have to. Here’s your no-stress guide to packing smarter (and warmer), sustainably.
Step 1: Don’t Overpack. Just Pack Smarter.
The “just in case” pile never makes it out of your suitcase. So let’s keep it light, and intentional. Here’s your realistic ski weekend packing list:
- 2 x base layer sets (top + bottom)
- 1 x cosy mid layer
- Outerwear (jacket + bibs or pants)
- 2–3 x pairs of actual ski socks (they make a world of difference)
- Bonus: SPF, lip balm, water bottle
That’s it. No overthinking. No drama. Just what you need to feel warm, confident, and ready to go.
Step 2: Base Layers Matter (More Than You Think)
If there’s one thing we’ll never gatekeep, it’s this: your base layer is the MVP of your ski kit. Here’s what to look for:
- Something that wicks sweat, keeps you warm, and doesn’t itch
- Breathability so you’re not steaming up halfway down the hill
- Stretch that holds up for three straight days (without sagging)
- Soft enough to live in (and we mean live in)
Ours are made from buttery soft recycled fabric that’ll keep you warm, dry, and cosy no matter the conditions.
Step 3: Keep it Conscious
Sustainable skiing doesn’t mean perfection; it’s about doing better, your way. Here are a few of our favourite small shifts:
- Wearing one great set on repeat instead of packing multiples
- Swapping chemical hand warmers for proper layering
- Packing reusables (hydration, lip balm, coffee thermos)
- Supporting brands that think long-term (like us – we plant a tree for every order and remove ocean-bound plastic with every piece)
Because sustainability looks different for everyone. And every small action adds up.
So, What’s the Secret?
It’s not about over-prepping. It’s about feeling confident in what you bring. A strong base layer, a cosy mid, and a jacket that keeps the cold out? You’re sorted. (And your suitcase will thank you.)
