Clothing for ski touring: Layering is the keyword!

You are probably familiar with the layering principle or have heard of it. Layering is the keyword par excellence when it comes to ski touring clothing. Because your ski touring clothing should be able to withstand the changing weather conditions and the demands of the ascent and descent!

The layering concept is based on wearing several, usually three, thin layers on top of each other, each fulfilling a specific function. The three layers are as follows:

1. Layer, the baselayer: The first layer consists of moisture-wicking materials that wick sweat away from the skin to keep you dry and comfortable.
2. Layer, the midlayer: The middle layer is responsible for insulation and warmth to protect the body from the cold. This layer often consists of materials such as fleece or down.
3. Layer, the third layer or hardshell: The third layer is supposed to protect you from external weather influences such as wind, rain and snow and at the same time allow for optimal breathability.

The layering principle offers the great advantage that you can easily put on or take off your ski touring clothing during the ski tour, depending on the weather, according to the onion principle. This allows you to regulate your body temperature effectively and makes a significant contribution to ensuring that you are comfortable and well protected in every situation. We show you which parts of the new Schöffel ski touring collection you can use for which layer!

Thermal shorts for sunny ski tours

When ski touring, the right clothing is of crucial importance and should be planned just as carefully as the route itself. The Thermo Shorts Schlern are an indispensable addition to this. During the ascent you quickly start to sweat, but during breaks your body cools down quickly. The tried-and-tested two-piece look is therefore essential for ski touring. You already know which Schöffel ski touring clothing you can wear for your layering look and are therefore already very well prepared for a wide range of weather conditions. In addition, it is highly recommended that you carry a change of clothing with you, as the weather conditions in the mountains can change at lightning speed. The thermal shorts play a particularly important role, as they protect you from unwanted cooling and at the same time allow an optimal body climate during your sporting activities. They are the ideal shorts for sunny snow tours in the mountains.
