Skiing is hot and cold all day. You work hard on the way down, then sit still on a windy chairlift on the way up. Your ski base layer handles both. It sits next to your skin, moves sweat away so you stay dry, and keeps your body heat close so you stay warm. Our base layers and thermals for skiing come in soft merino wool blends and quick-drying synthetic fabrics, for women and men.
Why RevolutionRace ski base layers?
Dry skin, warm body: Moisture-wicking fabrics move sweat away from your skin, so you don't get cold and damp when you stop. That is the real secret to staying warm on the mountain.
Merino or synthetic, your choice: Merino wool blends give natural warmth, temperature control and odour resistance, which is great for long days and ski trips. Synthetic styles dry fast and stretch in every direction, which makes them ideal for high-energy skiing.
Made to move: Four-way stretch and a close, slim fit let you carve, crouch and climb without anything pulling or bunching under your ski clothes.
Comfort in the details: Flat seams and seam-free shoulders help prevent chafing under ski clothes and rucksack straps. Cuffed sleeves stay in place, mesh zones under the arms let heat out on selected styles, and technical grid fabric traps warm air on our premium styles.
Choose your neckline: Go for a classic crew neck, a turtleneck with a higher collar, or a top with a built-in balaclava that you can wear as a neck gaiter, a hood or a full face cover. Many styles are mainly made from recycled materials.
Frequently asked questions
Both work well, so choose the one that suits how you ski. Merino wool blends feel soft, stay warm even when damp, and resist odour, so you can wear them for several days on a ski trip. They are a great choice for resort skiing and cold, long days. Synthetic base layers dry faster, stretch well and are easy to care for, so they suit fast, sweaty skiing and ski touring. Merino blends with a little synthetic fibre give you some of both.
Close to the body, like a second skin, but never tight enough to restrict you. A snug fit traps warm air and moves sweat away better. A loose fit leaves gaps where cold air and damp can collect. The top should stay tucked in when you bend, and the sleeves should stay at your wrists. Fits vary between styles. Some of our synthetic styles have a little more room, and the warmer merino styles are very close-fitting.
Yes. A good base layer works for any cold-weather activity. Our customers use them for winter walks, snowboarding, outdoor work in the cold, sleeping in a tent on cold nights, and as a warm layer on everyday winter days.
