The Best Ski Gear When You Hit the Slopes

It’s very important to have the right skiing gear when you hit the slopes. Winter weather may not be everyone’s favorite, but you need to be fully prepared before trying out and attempting this winter sport.

Just like for anything else that can potentially be dangerous, it’s very important to find a really sturdy snow helmet. This sport will have you traveling at speed rates that you may not be used to on foot. There is the potential of possibly colliding with another person, a tree, someone in a tube, or even a building causing you to slam your head hard creating possible brain damage of some sort. We don’t need that happening, because a trip to the ER is not something anyone wants to do. So, be sure to buy a strong helmet that can withstand those types of impacts.

We love EVO21, a smart helmet with bluetooth from LIVALL .

• Safer: features include patent all detection and  SOS technology allowing you to message emergency contacts with exact GPS location when in distress.

Antifog goggles are another must-have when going skiing. Again, you’re going to be sliding downhill at a very fast pace, the last thing you want is for your vision to get blurry and you now have no way of seeing what’s happening in front of you or where you’re going. Layers of clothing matter when it comes to doing anything in the snow. Wear some of your thickest articles of clothing for your base layers. You can always easily remove a layer if you find yourself getting too warm underneath it all. However, trying to add more layers after you already have all of your external protective gear on can become a pain in the neck to do. It’s easier to just already have it on so you aren’t giving yourself a headache.

Don’t wear jeans when skiing, because they soak up water easily. Remember what it was like walking through puddles of water and the bottom of your jeans were heavy from being soaked? Wearing jeans in the snow is basically no different than that, except it may hurt worse from the snow sticking to your jeans and your jeans clinging to your legs. To avoid that disaster, buy yourself some water-resistant ski pants to keep yourself safe and warm while you enjoy your time on the snowy mountains.

Find yourself some comfortable gloves that won’t make your hands sweat and ones that have leather pads on the fingers so you can still use your phone if you choose to ski with it. This way you won’t have to constantly take your gloves on and off all of the time. You can save yourself that hassle beforehand.

Be sure to find yourself some thick boots that won’t allow the snow to creep inside and freeze your feet. However, you don’t want your boots to be super tight on your feet either. You’ll be on your feet for hours on end, depending on how long you ski for, and you don’t want your feet being super sore before you’ve even made it to the mountain. The comfort of your feet is very important when it comes to skiing.

Keeping your head and face covered is just as, if not more important as any other area of your body. Windburn is no joke and you’re bound to get one if you plan on skiing for hours at a time during the day. The skin on your face is way more sensitive than your arms or legs and should always be kept covered to avoid any types of burns. Having windburn or your face frozen red does not sound like fun at all.

When going skiing, dress accordingly, but also be comfortable. You want to be able to still enjoy yourself while being safe at the same time. Now go and have fun!
