The layers you wear underneath your snow jacket or snow pants serve a couple of important functions such as insulation and moisture management. The primary purpose of layers is to provide insulation, which helps to keep your body warm in cold and snowy conditions. By layering your clothing, you trap air between each layer, which acts as insulation and helps to retain your body heat. In addition, snow sports can be physically demanding, which means you are likely to sweat while skiing or snowboarding. The layers you wear underneath your snow jacket and pants are designed to wick away sweat and moisture from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable. When layering for snow sports, it is important to use a base layer against your skin, a mid-layer if it’s cold and an outer layer to protect you from the wind, rain, or snow. The base layer should be made of moisture-wicking material, such as synthetic fabrics like polyester or merino wool, and should fit snugly against your skin. The mid-layer provides insulation and can be made of materials like fleece or down. The outer layer should be waterproof and windproof and should provide protection from the elements. By layering appropriately, you can stay warm, dry, and comfortable.
Le Bent 2024 Elyse Saugstad Pro Series Zero Cushion Sock
Description
The Elyse Saugstad Pro Series Sock was the first women’s specific backcountry sock. Boasting the same technical features as Cody Townsend’s sock, Elyse has left her mark by adjusting the sizing to be a more women’s specific fit — slightly shorter in forefoot length and leg height. Rumour has it she also skis harder than Cody... Crafted from our Signature Merino Blend, the sock ensures exceptional breathability, temperature regulation and comfort by melding the luxuriously soft on-skin properties of Rayon from Bamboo and the unrivalled odour resistance of merino wool. The Definitive fit System™ and our proprietary foot moulding Memory Stretch™ delivers a precise form fit, with a semi-compression zero cushion profile, ventilation panels for airflow on the bootpack and an anti-wrinkling, elasticated instep that doesn’t bunch underfoot. Innovative silicone strips on the heel and upper calf keep the sock locked in place, aided by a technically knit achilles support band that drastically minimizes heel lift while you hike, eliminating blisters and hot spots. An intensely technical sock with a natural aesthetic inspired by the sculpted peaks and shadowed chutes that Elyse Saugstad loves.
