What is the purpose of a womens ski base layer?
A ski base layer, also known as ski thermals, is the first layer of clothing worn against the skin. Its purpose is to regulate body temperature, wick away sweat, and trap warmth, keeping you dry and comfortable on the slopes.
Should ski thermals be tight or loose?
Ski thermals should fit snugly rather than loose. A close fit allows the fabric to wick moisture away effectively and retain heat. Women’s and men’s ski thermals are designed to move with your body without restricting flexibility.
What is the benefit of ¾ length ski thermal pants?
¾ length ski thermals are cut to finish above the ski boot, preventing bulk and reducing pressure points. This design makes them ideal for long days on the mountain, offering comfort and performance without fabric bunching.
What is the difference between women’s ski thermals and men’s ski thermals?
Women's ski base layers are designed with a sculpting, supportive fit, while men’s ski base layers prioritise flexibility and a performance fit. Both are made from breathable, recycled fabrics to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable in cold conditions.
Can I wear Arctic Eco-Sno thermals for everyday use?
Absolutely! While they’re designed for active outdoor adventures, the sleek and stylish design of our eco-friendly thermals makes them perfect for everyday wear as well. You can layer them up for casual outdoor activities or as a warm base layer for day-to-day comfort.
How many thermals should I take skiing?
For a typical skiing trip, we recommend 2 to 3 pairs of womens ski thermals. This ensures you always have a dry, clean base layer to wear while the others are drying or being washed. You may want to adjust the number based on your trip's length and your personal preferences for layering.
How should I wash and dry my ski thermals?
Follow the care instructions provided. For best results, wash your womens ski thermals in cold or 30 degree gentle cycles and air-dry them by hanging. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can damage the fabric and affect the performance of your thermals.
