Despite the fact that skiing seems, at first glance, a form of outdoor activities, the selection of sports equipment and uniforms for lovers is no less important than for professionals. How to explain this? The fact is that the correct selection of equipment will bring true pleasure to its owner. This is especially true for relaxing in a ski resort. It is worth remembering that a hastily bought or cheap form can destroy the positive emotions of going down the slopes and bring real discomfort.
The ski suit was created in the late forties of the last century by fashion designer
Emilio Pucci. He began to sew this form before the start of World War II. She was worn in those days by the ski team "Reed College". The history of the brand began in 1947, when Emilio Pucci made such equipment for his friend. The ski suit created by the designer was accidentally photographed and evaluated by the editors of the reputable Harper's Bazaar. Taking into account the harmony of style and practicality of the thing, they suggested Emilio Pucci to develop a whole collection of this garment. This is how sports ski suits first appeared on the fashion goods market. And at present, outdoor enthusiasts highly value the functionality and practicality of this form.
When choosing equipment, it should be noted that a suit is not just a jumpsuit or a combination of a warm jacket and trousers. This is all the clothes that a person puts on under them (T-shirts, thermal underwear, warm socks and sweaters). In fact, the ski suit includes three different layers. The first of them is thermal underwear. It is made of synthetic fabric with a special structure. This underwear is able not only to retain the heat of the human body, protecting its owner from the most severe frost, but also to remove moisture. At the same time, thermoregulation is maintained. Saving when buying such linen is not recommended. In the case when it is replaced with ordinary clothes sewn from cotton, sweat released during physical exertion is absorbed into it. At the same time, skiing becomes uncomfortable.
The second layer, which includes a ski suit, is warming clothing. An ordinary knitted sweater can serve as such a thing . However, for outdoor activities the most effective is special fleece clothing designed for skiing. Such things perfectly retain heat and remove moisture from the surface of the body.
The upper, third layer of equipment is a special jumpsuit or trousers with a jacket. The material from which these things are sewn is usually windproof. In addition, this fabric is able to remove moisture from the inside.
When choosing a ski suit, you should pay close attention to the vapor permeability indicators. They show the amount of steam that the fabric is able to let through during the day. No less important is the moisture resistance, which characterizes the amount of moisture that the fabric can withstand before getting wet. Both of these indicators should be as high as possible.
The cut of the costume is also important. Much more practical fitting models. Loose fit increases resistance to air mass. Ski suits, the price of which starts with eighty US dollars, are chosen by the buyer, based on his requirements and financial condition.
