Tips / Other

Trends in ski and snowboard wear are constantly evolving, with different brands and styles enjoying their moment in the sun as time passes.

 

However, there are some things that never change. Good-quality kit is what you need to stay warm and comfortable on the slopes, and technical innovations mean ski wear keeps improving. This winter, invest in a Helly Hansen Uhr base layer with Lifa Flow technology that efficiently wicks sweat away from your skin.

 

If you’re heading off for the day, you might want to take some layers or a camera with you. Keep all of your stuff safe with the Osprey Kamber 22-liter backpack, specially designed for skiing and snowboarding. You can even carry your skis or board in it.

 

Salomon is renowned for making high-quality outdoor gear, and its ski goggles live up to that reputation. The XT One goggles are made of three separate pieces, allowing them to fit the contours of your face.

 

Of course, technology is also being put to use to make the ski experience better. Drysure make boot dryers that use silica oxide beads to absorb moisture, drying your boots without damaging them by exposing them to heat.

 

All of these products look likely to be big hits with the ski and snowboard communities this season. Treat yourself to an early Christmas present, or start dropping some subtle hints to your nearest and dearest this holiday season!
