The wardrobe for the winter holiday
Short answer: On a winter holiday the base layer is what decides whether the day is good. A thin layer that moves sweat away keeps you warmer than a thick one that gets wet.
The base layer first
If you sweat on the way up the slope and then stand still in the lift, a wet cotton layer turns cold. See bamboo vest for men.
The legs
A thin layer under the ski trousers warms without bulk. See bamboo long johns.
The socks
One sock in the ski boot, not two. More layers take up room and give cold toes. See bamboo socks for men.
The evening
A set of soft clothes for after skiing is what everyone forgets to pack. See bamboo loungewear for men.
Drying in the room
Thin clothes dry overnight, so two sets of base layer are enough. See how to wash clothes while travelling.
For women
See the corresponding pieces in bamboo vest for women.
