Why Cotton Has No Place in Your Spring Ski Wardrobe

(And What to Wear Instead)

Okay, let’s talk spring skiing. The sun’s out, the slopes are softer, and the vibes? Chef's kiss. But if you’re still layering up in cotton, we need a quick ski-side chat. No judgement, we’ve all been there. But trust us, cotton and skiing? Not a match. And in spring, when the weather’s as unpredictable as your après plans, it’s a one-way ticket to feeling damp, chilly, and not your best.

Why Cotton is a NO-GO for Spring Skiing

We love cotton for cosy Sundays, but on the slopes? Not so much.

Sweat? It’s In There for Good

• Cotton loves to soak up moisture… but letting it go? That’s a different story. The result? You’re damp, chilly, and about as comfortable as a melted snowman.

Drying Time: Longer Than Your Ski Trip

• A wet base layer that refuses to dry? Hard pass. Spring skiing means temperature swings, and you need something that keeps up, and not clings on.

It’s Heavy, Clingy, and Just Not It

• Skiing should feel free and effortless, and not like you’re hauling around a soggy duvet.

What You SHOULD Be Wearing for Spring Skiing

Spring skiing is a vibe. Your base layers should be, too. Here’s what actually works:

Moisture-Wicking Magic

• No sogginess here. You want a fabric that pulls sweat away from your skin, so you stay fresh and dry from first lift to last call.

Breathability That Moves With You

• Spring skiing is a weather rollercoaster, so your base layers should breathe when it’s warm and insulate when it’s chilly.

Sustainable Fabrics That Feel Good

• Skiing is all about nature, so why wear something that doesn’t respect it? Choosing eco-friendly fabrics = looking great while doing better for the planet.
