Winter is here, and the season of skiing, snowboarding, cross-country and snowshoeing is also here! I always say that, but the thing that keeps me awake in winter is to go outside. Having the right equipment makes outdoor activities in the snow comfortable and fun. When you want to have fun outdoors, there is nothing worse than cold. I have spent quite a lot of winter, and over the years I have discovered functional ski equipment suitable for various winter activities. In today’s post, I have collected all the best snow equipment to keep you warm, comfortable and even stylish in everything from skiing and snowboarding to cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
Ladies snow equipment
Snow pants
North Face Sally Pants – This is a waterproof, lightweight and insulating ski pants and ski pants. I wear them under all conditions and they keep me dry. Their legs are almost talented, and they run on the smaller side, so I suggest you measure the size. They also offer regular sizes, long sizes and short sizes, so you can find the most suitable size for your height.
LL Bean Women’s Wildcat Waterproof Insulation Snow Pants – I got these snow pants this year and I am very excited about them. I really want a pair of white snow pants, these pants are really cute, and very warm and comfortable. They are insulated and waterproof, and. There are regular models, petite models and extra-large sizes. I also really like the adjustable waist function, which makes the perfect fit easier. These run a bit on the larger side, so I reduced the size.
Snow bib
Picture of Organic Haakon Bib Pants – Last year when I was looking for sustainable skis, I discovered the Picture Organic brand. The brand uses environmentally friendly materials and the quality is impressive. This is also a good price point for bibs that can be very expensive. This style is slightly different. I bought a pair last year, but they are very similar. I like to wear a bib on super cold days or warm days because I can wear a very light dress on it. The size of this brand fits well.
Snow jacket
See my post on the best insulated snow jacket here. On most days of mountain or cross-country skiing, I wear Patagonia down sweater jacket or LL Bean Ultralight 850 down jacket. If I need something to get through the painful days or snow, I will wear mine Insulated picture organic ski jacket.
boots
Sorel Explorer II Joan felt boots – These are the new members of my snow boot series this year and they are great. They are very warm, soft and comfortable inside. They feel like a mixed boot/sneaker. They are waterproof and have good grip on icy surfaces. These must be small. I am half a size older, but if the socks are thick, you may need a full size one size older.
UGG Adirondack Boots III – I have owned these for several years and they have not disappointed. They keep my feet warm and dry in snowy days and maintain good grip on icy surfaces. You can also fold the cuff to cover more calves. I am half a yard older.
Base layer
LL Bean Women’s Cresta Midweight Crew 250 Top and LL Bean Women’s Cresta Middleweight Round Neck Pants– The bottom coat and bottom of this LL Bean are very warm and are made of 100% Merino wool. It is not itchy, and most of the time it is the only layer I need for snowboarding or cross-country skiing.
Sweaty Betty ski base layer -If you can’t make wool, then Sweaty Betty ski base layer top And the bottom is a good choice. They are thick and warm, I like that you can also wear them after skiing or in the city!
Mittens
Undeniably, I just can’t wear gloves for winter activities like skiing and cross-country skiing.My hands are always cold, so I bought these Hestra helicopter mittens last year. They will not disappoint, they are the warmest gloves I have ever had!
Neckwarmers and balaclava
secondKida Neckwarmer – You may have heard me talk about the Skida neck warmer by now. My favorite style is the Alps. It has a wool lining and a bunch of cute prints. Keep your face dry in the mountains or on hiking trails.
Take off the balaclava – This is more like a lightweight balaclava, so if it has a warm lining, this is perfect for layering with the helmet.
goggles
SmithI/O MAG S ChromaPop goggles – These goggles are a splurge, but perform very well in low light conditions and have a good wide-angle field of view to help you get peripheral vision on slopes (I struggle with this!). I also like that you can easily replace the lenses on these goggles.
Giro Millie goggles – If you are looking for a more economical option, this pair of shoes from Giro are polarized and will not fog up.
socks
Smart wool – Whenever someone asks me to recommend warm winter socks, my answer is always Smart wool. They are almost the only socks I wear all winter, from walking the dog to spending days in the mountains. For snowboarding and cross-country skiing, my favorite styles are performance hiking and performance ski socks.
hat
If I don’t wear a helmet, I will go My cashmere White & Warren beanie. Super warm and not itchy.If you can’t make cashmere LL beanie beanie hat It is a good choice.
helmet
I upgraded my helmet last year Smith Allure MIPS helmet I am glad I did. It is not only super comfortable, but also has removable wool ear pads, which is very warm. It also has an automatic adjustment fitting system to obtain a perfect fit, and it is very light.
