Any sportswear is not always suitable for skiing. It happens that for a ski trip, people dress in down jackets and thick pants, or even they dress according to the principle of “that is not a pity”. This is completely wrong. Winter activity has a lot of nuances, and if you plan to spend a few hours on the track, you should think about purchasing a special warm-up suit.
Features
A very important moment in skiing is the right warm-up suit.
It will allow to conduct an effective training:
- do not overheat, but do not freeze;
- do not feel discomfort while driving and do not create resistance to air;
- In addition, if you suddenly find yourself in a snowdrift, this suit will not allow to get wet.
Modern models of warm-up suits for skis have unique properties, are made of innovative materials and have an excellent appearance.
For ski lovers, a warm-up suit is an excellent option that does not require any extras, while the professionals put on this suit to warm up before a competition or to train.
Its features are that it has a free, but not voluminous cut, a slightly longer jacket behind it, narrowed trousers that prevent the ingress of snow.
Another feature in the combination of two materials is that the front of the suit has a windproof membrane, and the back, on the contrary, is a soft and stretching material that has water-repellent properties, protects when dropped and allows you to move freely.
Models
There are several models of suits for men and women, which are well combined with each other. So, a suit may include trousers and a jacket, and may also be equipped with a vest. This option is suitable for ski training in especially cold weather. If on the street, on the contrary, it is very warm, and you are confidently standing on skis, you can completely replace your jacket with a vest.
There are also several models of ski pants. They can be either on the straps, with convenient adjustment, or zippers or buttons, ending on the waist line. The first option better protects against wind and cold, the second - less restricts movement. There are also fused models, overalls.
Since overalls are designed for skiing, they are rarely white in color - this shade makes a skier inconspicuous in the background of snow, which can lead to collisions and injuries.
Male and female models, first of all, differ in color. For men, manufacturers most often use combinations of gray, black and blue, for women - red, orange or purple.
Varieties
There are three types of warm-up suits for skiers:
- Option for cross-country skiing.
- Option for skiing.
- Option for biathlon.
Between themselves, they differ in the first place, the material. For downhill skis, where falls occur all the time, a thicker fabric is used that is resistant to damage, has strong protection from snow and moisture. Since it is always cold in the mountains and the skier picks up high speed during the descent, the insulation in such suits is very serious.
Warm-up suits for cross-country skis do not have such a high degree of protection against cold and moisture, but are tailored for skier movements. When descending from a mountain, a person is more likely to keep a balance, while moving along a ski run, especially with a ridge, makes many gestures.
With this in mind, the costumes stretch, allow you to actively move your arms, do not constrain the back muscles.
Suits for biathlon are a kind of combination of strong qualities of clothing for skiers and "runners".Another important difference is that the material of the suit is made in accordance with the fact that the skier has to go to bed to shoot. Therefore, the front part is made of a more durable, repellent moisture and non-freezing material.
Brands
Warm-up ski suits are found in many manufacturers. First of all, these are brands that specialize in the production of clothing for winter sports, in particular, skiing: Salomon, Fischer, Craft, Mountain Force, Lasse Kjus and others.
Long-term experience allows these companies to create truly perfect things that have a special quality and anticipate all the wishes of an athlete. One can guess that the price of the suits of these brands is appropriate.
The line is more popular among fans - brands that create sportswear for any occasion, including for skiing. These are giants known throughout the world - Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Puma.
In addition to the remarkable quality, these companies also rely on fashion trends, produce costumes of different colors, with prints and trimmings. Although there are lines for professionals where the appearance of the models is almost unchanged, only the technologies and the cut are changing.
Images
Stylish sporty look, in which there is nothing superfluous. Saturated black color contrasts favorably with the snow, making the figure of a skier more slender and taut. The ergonomic design of the suit allows you to move freely, and additional zippers on the jacket and trousers - to adjust them to the features of the body.
Stylish sporty look, which is the best for winter. The dark base of the suit allows you to make the silhouette clear and noticeable, and the inserts of white and pale blue give even a sporty look fragility, femininity and frosty optimistic mood!
Bright and bold male image from which breathes energy. The combination of black, orange and shades of red orange is a great contrast to the snowy slopes. At the same time, darker pants have something in common with gloves that have the same gray inserts, and the jacket is an independent and main element.
