Three different types of membrane are used for sewing equipment - steam, hydrophilic and combined. The latter repels moisture that comes in from the outside, and at the same time removes it from the inside. Manufacturers can use 3-6 layers of the membrane, which affects the performance of the product and its cost. First comes the outer layer, then the membrane, insulation, antiseptic fabric, lining and impregnation. All this together gives an amazing effect and the opportunity to feel warm and comfortable during active skiing and snowboarding.

In order for a ski bib to serve for a long time and correctly, it is necessary to select it correctly, taking into account the size, material, accessories and other important characteristics. There are several criteria that will help you make the right choice.

• To make the product convenient, you need to decide for whom it is intended - for a teenager, boy or girl, for an adult.
• The jumpsuit must be made of durable fabric, you cannot save on this. When it comes to amateur riding, you can consider budget models from leading manufacturers that guarantee quality and reliability. Branded clothing for skiers must be moisture-tight and must protect from strong winds, which are often found on mountain peaks.
• The first step is to decide on the size. The suits consist of a jacket and pants, but overalls are in the highest demand. You can take measurements - shoulder width, chest, back length, sleeve, etc.
• We must not forget that under the outfit there will also be other clothes, for example, thermal underwear or a fleece jacket, so there should be a margin so that during skiing the movements are not constrained. If the overalls are cramped in the pelvic area, it will be difficult to do tricks and even manage your equipment. Tall people should consider the length of the legs, they should cover the ankles.
• The indicator of moisture resistance of the overalls should not be less than 10,000 mm, it is the best option for active athletes.If the product does not have insulation, you should definitely use thermal underwear, but it is better to choose products that will be comfortable and protect from the cold without layers of excess clothing.
• As for the colors and cut, it all depends on personal preference, for example, teenagers, girls and women love bright suits, although many men also prefer colorful outfits.

Ski clothing must be properly cared for so as not to spoil the impregnation and membrane, which do not tolerate normal washing.

• There are special products on the market for such items that must be used for hand washing. Pay attention to the label on the overalls, there should be a hint at what temperature the clothes can be washed and how to proceed with them further. Some products can be sent to the delicate mode in the machine, but the water must be up to 40 degrees.
• As for ironing, this is strictly prohibited, after washing, wring out the thing a little, then hang it up, and after drying, the fabric will not look wrinkled.
• Dry cleaning you can give overalls only if there is a service for caring for such things.

Now you know everything about overalls for skiers, their features, and you can not only choose the right model yourself, but also provide it with high-quality care. Good luck!
