Thermal underwear for women: the foundation of warm ski wear
Your bottom layer decides whether you stay warm and dry. Thermal base layers wick sweat away from your skin, so you do not cool down on the lift. At Kampeerwinkel Roermond you will find women's thermal underwear from Icebreaker, Craft, Falke and Poederbaas.
Merino or synthetic?
- Merino wool: warm, soft and does not hold odours; ideal for multi-day trips. Icebreaker.
- Synthetic: dries quickly and is hard-wearing, good for high-intensity activity. Craft, Falke.
- Weight: light for spring skiing and ski touring, medium or heavy for cold days.
- Fit: close-fitting, without chafing seams.
Frequently asked questions
How do I wash thermal underwear?
At 30 or 40 degrees without fabric softener; merino on the wool programme.
Should I wear cotton under my ski wear?
Preferably not: cotton holds moisture and cools you down.
Over it you wear a ski midlayer and a ski jacket. See also ski socks, men's thermal underwear and women's ski wear.
