The last snow season, I received a set of merino wool blend base layer from Snow Path (山雪道).
They invited me to try their new merino wool blend base layer for snow season 24-25, which they designed the base layer with few color choices. I love the green design that embraced a symbol of reborn and growth. The 15um merino wool technology they applied on the base layer upgrades the heat preservation function, as well as offers a higher breathability for sports like ski/snowboarding.
There are few factors we should take into consideration while picking the perfect base layer for snowboarding:
- Heat preservation. Although the middle layer plays the main character role of preserving your body heat, all three layers fundamentally should all have this function. When choose a base layer, choose fabric that has a high level of heat preservation/needling system that offers better system that reserves temperature.
- Breathability. Consider if it has one-way dry-fast function to prevent the wetness being transported from the outside to your skin, but wicking quickly from your skin to the outside. Indeed, isolate your body from the outside air, but makes your body easy to breath at the same time
- Fit. The base layer should JUST FIT your body curve or a little BIT TIGHT. Such preference leaves no room/space between our body and the base layer, therefore, less possibility that cool air would get in and preserves heat better.
The design of the base layer also matters, because all the ski resort maintains a super warm temperature in their guest house. Who would not like to look fashion and chic when we take the jacket off?
