Ski wear
Does anyone know where online i can get xc skiwear, and i dont require a
credit card? what do you think i should get.... I am in northern ontario, canada. We get temps of +5C- -45C during the ski season. I have a nylon jacket and pants, but they need replaceing... many good years out of them. I also wear sweat pants/shirt, and a t shirt. What would be a good idea to get.... so that my thin layer is good to about -10C(typically when i go out.) and all layers combined are good to atleast -25C. On a typical winter day of -10C little wind, i have on a sweatshirt, sweat pants, and a headband.... i can do a 3K trail in about 30 mins or less, and am only cool for about the first few minutes. i would like to get something more suited for skiing, and less for a gym.

Micheal I just got some real stuff this past year and found; Coolmax sock or liners are a must. Sporthill XC pants are great, breathe, and warm to 15F or lower if no wind, but comfortable at 30F. Some kind of Coolmax shirt/base layer, I wear one or two and then a light jacket. I haven't found the perfect jacket yet, a breathable (sort of) nylon shell thing with a lot of pockets seems to work well, at least it has a good place for my camera. Pit zips are mandatory. Got some brand of skull cap with a coolmax kind of liner; much better than without. Underwear; wickers from Sierra Trading Post Nothing cotton ever, anywhere; you will get cold and soggy! gr |
