It's almost time to hit the slopes for the 2023-2024 ski season. As always, we want to look good on the slopes and feel comfortable as we descend the mountains. What can we expect from the new ski clothing for this winter?
You come home from a wonderful skiing vacation and your laundry basket is full of clothes that need to be washed. Laundry is certainly a chore that we all don't want to do. However, taking care of your ski wear is super important. To avoid making mistakes such as washing your ski wear together with your normal clothes, we will provide you with some useful information.
You've finally ordered those ski pants that have been on your wish list for so long. While trying them on you notice that the size is not right. Nothing is more annoying than that.

The water column indicates to what degree a fabric is water-repellent. The higher the number, the better it repels water. If the number is high, it will take longer for the fabric to leak. To determine the water column of a particular material, we look at how many millimeters of water it takes for the material to penetrate water. To give an example: When a garment has a water column of 5,000 mm, the material can withstand a maximum pressure of 5 meters of water. Then it is considered good ski wear.
Going down the slopes is much fun, unless you start swimming in your own sweat because the fabric does not absorb it. Especially when you engage in a sports activity, condensation can easily form on the inside of the fabric. If you wear ski clothing that is breathable, it allows the moisture (perspiration) to escape. How do you know that your ski jacket or ski pants have good breathability?
