💡 xcSkiGuru's tips
-
The choice for cold weather – the Thermal Jacket is warmer than a thin racing jacket → ideal for freezing temperatures when you still want to ski at a fast pace.
-
A combination of protection and breathability – the front keeps the cold out, the back breathes and wicks away moisture → you stay dry even when your heart rate rises.
-
Washing instructions – wash at 40°C without fabric softener, do not tumble dry. This will best preserve the windproof membrane and thermal lining.
