Clothing Tips on Keeping Warm on the Slopes NO COTTON, Please!
V I P Rules for Clothing
Ventilation: This represents the base layer, or first layer, that helps the skin breathe. Ideally, this is a snug layer that moves with you.
Insulation: The insulation layer is the one that helps to keep you warm! Ideally, you would have a few different thicknesses for different temperatures. A thin fleece jacket, a puffy jacket, and a wool sweater are all examples of the Insulation layer. Ideally, the kids would bring a few options depending on the temperatures of the day. Better to be too warm than cold.
Protection: This is the layer that protects you from the wind, rain, snow, or sun. Ideally, this is a waterproof and windproof layer. Jackets and pants are examples. Gore-Tex is one example, and there are many others out now. If they offer waterproofness, look for at least a 15k rating for a minimum of waterproofness.
