How to stay warm and dry during my cross-country skiing outings?

We recommend the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (technical base layer) wicks away moisture from the body to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (t-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and wicks away moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.

Adjust the number of layers to the level of your physical effort and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder?
Therefore, if the outdoor temperature is 0° with a wind-speed of 20 km, it will feel like -10°.
“Windproof” components help reduce this chill effect by preventing air circulation caused by the wind itself or the relative speed of the sporting activity.
