Layering for warmth






We covered how to keep your feet warm, so how about the rest of your body? At SlopeStyle we sell all the apparel you need to keep warm from head to toe. We all know a good jacket and pants are key, but what about under those layers? The base layers as they are known are perhaps as important if not more important as the outwear in keeping your warm. The first layer that contacts your skin should be a non-cotton layer which helps wick moisture away from your skin and fits relatively snug. Think of it as a second layer of skin. This will help insulate you from the cold and keeps you dry when you are ripping it. On top of that should be a mid weight layer such as fleece or a soft shell. Again this will insulate your core on those really cold days. Finally make sure your last layer is waterproof and helps shield away the wind. With this combination you should be warm and dry on the coldest days!
