How to keep warm on a ski trail
For many people, winter is synonymous with skiing whether at home or at a cabin. Depending on the track you choose, it is important to dress right to have the best experience.
Wool is always a classic and is perfect to wear on the go. Wool's properties make garments insulating, temperature-regulating and comfortable. Wool fibres can absorb 30% of its weight in moisture, so even if it gets wet or sweaty, wool will retain heat. Most people are familiar with the multilayer principle; wool is perfect as an extra layer to put on and take off, as needed. You don't need a lot of garments and you will save space and weight in your bag.
Inner Layer
The inner layer must be thin and tight. Its function is to wick away heat and sweat while keeping you warm and dry. All Ulvang base layers are made with Merino wool, which makes them soft and comfortable.
The Training line is designed with changing weather in mind, but it is also suitable for a few rounds on the ski trail under a ski jacket and ski pants. These garments are made of comfortable single jersey in combination with mesh panels, strategically placed for optimal sweat wicking.
The Merino Net line is suitable for high-intensity or varying activities. For lower intensity, a second layer is required. These garments are lightweight, have good insulation and breathability and high moisture wicking.
Middle Layer:
A high level of activity means that the body generates more heat, and the warmer you are the fewer layers you need. In high-intensity activity, you can easily manage with two layers, but during still periods it is a good idea to add an extra layer.
