Ski suits for men, women and children

The first ski suits appeared in the early fifties of the 20th century and since then both professionals and skiers are keenly interested in the choice of this particular clothing. Beginners skiers, getting into a sports shop, are lost among a variety hanging on hangers and lying on numerous shelves of equipment: here and ski jackets, and overalls, and gloves. You can also find smaller details of the ski wardrobe, such as glasses, masks, hats and even thermal underwear.

How not to get confused and choose from the presented assortment precisely those things that will be of high quality and will last for more than one year? Professional skiers, riding in the mountains for several years, give several tips for choosing clothes for holidays in the mountains.

The first thing to remember is the conditions under which the suit will be used. It's about the fact that the jacket and other accessories of the buta are worn by you at a temperature below zero, with strong gusts of wind, snow, storms, and possibly in blizzard or rainy weather. In addition, a large amount of time will be spent in immobilized condition, namely during the ascent to the beginning of the route in open booths. So you should pay attention to such materials, clothing from which will correspond to the season, warm in a severe frost and will not allow you to become sober during an active movement down the mountain. That's why, all the equipment should be thought through to the smallest detail and, buying ski suits, do not forget about such things as thermal underwear and even special warming socks.

In the fitting process, note that such details of the costume as cuffs, trousers, trousers, collars should fit tightly to the body, otherwise already after the first descent from the mountain they will be covered with snow and your holiday will be spoiled. In addition, it is desirable that the clothes were at least a few well-sewn and waterproof pockets. This is necessary in order to place in them various small things, for example, a handkerchief.

Choosing ski suits, it is better to consider bright colors. Wearing such equipment, you will be sure that in the event of an unforeseen situation, rescuers will be easier to spot a bright spot in the snow. It is also desirable that the sleeves of the jacket have reflectors.

It is extremely important that the costume has at least three layers of materials, the first of which must ensure maximum ventilation of the body, the second - protection from low temperatures, and the third - from external factors, such as snow or rain. At the same time, in expensive suits the moisture-protective properties of the outer layer can be achieved by using a membrane fabric that breathes well, but thanks to its structure, it does not allow moisture to pass through. The fabric of cheaper suits or breathes perfectly, but at the same time it lets in water, or your body does not remain dry, but it will not normally breathe.

Separately, one should also talk about such important details as thermal underwear. Thanks to a special thread, a set of many fibers, it turns out to be loose to the touch, due to which air is retained in it, which is an excellent thermal insulating layer. Note that in the case of thermal underwear, it should fit the figure well - only in this case the thermoregulation will be the best.

As for the prices for ski suits, they start from 150-200 dollars per person - the cost is rather big, but you do not need to save, otherwise the next year you will have to visit the sports store again.

Some believe that women's ski suits in their appearance should differ significantly from men's. Yes, and there is a fashion for this outfit, but it is not so categorical as in the case of everyday clothes.
