Base Layers
All good ski outfits start with a base layer. Nothing makes you colder than wet clothes against your skin therefore a good base layer is designed primarily to keep us dry, not warm (the layers above do that), and it works in two ways. Firstly, it’s extremely un-absorbent, so it can’t hold much moisture, and secondly, it encourages water away from our skin, and up into our outer layers of clothing.
