We
are all consumers at heart. We buy things to make us happy; it's an endless
cycle of acquiring newer and better things. We spend most of our waking hours
in our adult years working so that we can afford the most modern electronic
device, the latest car model, or the coolest Obermeyer jacket for sale.
You
might be willing to pay the full price for a commodity. The important thing is
that you have to know what you want before you part with your hard-earned
dollars. This winter, when one and all are planning their vacations to ski
resorts, you are getting ready to organize your brand-new outfits fit for the
season. Regardless of how much money you are willing to spend, here are the
must-haves for that skiing vacation:
Ski Pants
Ordinary
pants will not do on the slopes. Get yourself some actual ski pants because
they have inner powder cuffs that slide over your boots and prevent snow from
getting into your legs. A high-quality pair can save you from unwanted minor
accidents in the mountains. For those just starting with skiing, quality pants
can save you from a lot of pain.
Choose
a reliable brand with waterproof fabric to wick away snow and moisture. Find a
pair with breathable material to avoid getting sweaty and uncomfortable. Some
brands even have pockets for your wallet and phone. Be sure to buy a pair
with durable fabric.
Ski Jacket
An
actual ski jacket is made of waterproof, breathable fabric with heat-retaining
insulation. A hoodie or a sweatshirt will not be a good substitute for a
practical ski jacket. You might want to get a three-in-one type, which consists
of an outer shell that keeps moisture out and an inner insulation layer that
keeps you warm. Be sure that you buy one that is roomy enough to accommodate all
those inside layers of clothing but not too loose that they slide off your
body.
Ski Socks
To
keep yourself from sweating too much, wear only one pair of socks, but be sure
that those are ski socks and padded at the shins to protect yourself from
chafing against your boots.
Thermal Top
Base-layer
tops best come in a waffle-like texture, thin and fitted to your chest. Make
sure that the top does not slide around. Choose one that comes with a slightly
longer back to tuck in. Avoid cotton as it does not prevent moisture at all.
Wool is a perfect choice for base tops due to its natural insulation
capabilities.
Thermal Pants
Thermal
pants must be of thin fabric and fitted to your legs to keep you insulated. You can find big
double-layer pants if you are on a budget and off to a frigid location. It is
also best to find a pair with synthetic fabric to wick moisture away. Such
materials like spandex-polyester have anti-microbial properties that keep the
smell out, while moisture-wicking technology keeps you feeling warm and
comfortable.
In
the end, you should stock up on the given items this season and shop wisely.
Doing so will help you protect your health and finances.
