Skiing: tips for beginners on choosing equipment
Alpine skiing can give a lot of positive emotions. But for maximum safety, you should remember about the correct equipment.
Each element of the suit should not hinder movement. At the same time, it should help to retain heat and prevent overheating.
It is better to choose models of thermal underwear from natural materials. They absorb moisture well and allow the skin to "breathe". Although modern synthetic options can sometimes seriously compete with them.
The choice of socks should be treated with special attention. These are not even socks, but rather knee-highs due to the peculiarities of use - putting on under ski boots. It is better to choose options with an anti-slip coating on the foot.
The next element is a jumper. He dresses under the jacket. The choice should be stopped on models with a stand-up collar, a minimum number of seams and a semi-adjacent silhouette.
And, directly, a ski suit - overalls and a jacket. As a rule, they have a standard cut and are made from a special fabric. It is waterproof with a breathable lining and membrane.
Gloves, helmet and goggles are some of the most important pieces of equipment despite their size. Without them, ski instructors do not even recommend appearing on the hill.
