THERMALS

TOP £35

LEGGINGS £25

 This layer wicks sweat off your skin and keeps you warm. 

LIGHT FLEECE

£85

Wear it over your long underwear top in the car and the lodge; wear it under your jacket to add warmth on the slopes.

WOOL SOCKS

£30

 Ski and snowboard socks are taller than your boots and not overly thick (thick socks can actually make your feet colder if they make your boots too tight and restrict your blood circulation).

SKI JACKET

£300

These are usually waterproof or water resistant, and insulated, with convenient pockets and other snow-specific features.

SKI BOTTOMS

£285

Waterproof or water resistant, and insulated, these sometimes have convenient pockets, vents and features to prevent snow entering your boots.

SKI GLOVES

£50

Choose waterproof or water resistant and insulated. Generally, greater thickness equals greater warmth, and mittens tend to be warmer than gloves, but you sacrifice some dexterity.

HELMET and GOGGLES

Not mandatory, but highly recommended, a ski helmet helps protect your head, and it keeps your head and ears warm and dry

Goggles protect your eyes from wind, snow and glare..

NECK GAITER

You can pull a neck gaiter up over your nose in icy temps; a balaclava offers even greater coverage.
