TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Directions for use
During times of intense physical exertion, dressing too warmly can actually make you feel cold. The perspiration is unable to escape and therefore remains in constant contact with your skin. It’s beneficial to wear a liner jacket as you can take it off when the weather is mild. It's also important to open the vents before you get too hot and close them before you get cold when the intensity of your physical effort decreases, as it does on the ski lifts.
What should you wear under your cross-country skiing jacket?
To keep warm and dry, use the 3-breathable-layers rule:
a ski base layer and a second layer liner jacket to retain warmth, a third layer ski jacket to protect you from bad weather.
The base layer keeps you dry by wicking away the perspiration from the skin to the other layers.
The second layer provides warmth. Such as padded jackets, or fleece sweaters.
The third layer
This third layer provides protection from the outdoor elements (snow, rain and wind) by keeping them out (while still letting perspiration escape from inside so you don’t feel wet). It should therefore ideally be waterproof AND breathable. The third layer (or layer 3) can also provide insulation in the case of lined trousers or jackets and complement the second layer.
