Beginners in particular often make the mistake of using cross-country skiing clothes that are too warm, so that they overheat within a short period of time. ODLO's functional cross-country skiing clothing guarantees you optimum moisture management, maximum freedom of movement and warming properties, so that you feel completely comfortable on the trail.
The decisive factors for your perfect cross-country skiing clothing are functionality and wearing comfort. You don't want to sweat or freeze so that you can enjoy your ski tour to the maximum. Icy wind cannot harm you with an impregnated and wind-protected outer layer, and your temperature is also kept at a comfortable level. Innovative technologies and lightweight materials also ensure a pleasant feeling.
The first layer is worn directly on the skin and provides moisture transport for movement-intensive sports such as cross-country skiing. If you start to sweat, your cross-country skiing clothing absorbs the moisture and wicks it away from the skin. Materials such as synthetic fibres and merino wool ensure rapid re-drying. So you never feel like you're sweating.
ODLO's underwear concepts offer you maximum freedom of movement. ACTIVE, PERFORMANCE and NATURAL allow you to wear your functional underwear either very tightly or with a loose fit. You can also choose your cross-country skiing clothing according to the prevailing temperatures. LIGHT for mild weather to X-WARM for icy temperatures guarantee optimum temperature control.
In the second layer it is the thermal insulation that matters. Long-sleeved shirts or shirts with short sleeves ensure that your body is protected from overheating or hypothermia during cross-country skiing. While shirts with CERAMIWARM or YAKWARM technology have a warming function, midlayers with CERAMICOOL cool the body down.
The garments cover the upper body completely and on warm and sunny days they can be worn as a flexible alternative to cross-country skiing jackets. The S-THERMIC products offer an additional boost to thermal insulation and are breathable at the same time. In order to avoid unpleasant odours at a high level of activity, cross-country skiing clothing for men with ZEROSCENT technology is perfectly suited.
A cross-country skiing jacket must keep out wind, wetness and cold. To ensure that the weather doesn't spoil your planned ski tour, a high water column and a functional impregnation of the cross-country skiing clothing is necessary. If it is particularly cold, you choose an outer layer that also has thermal properties and warms your body.
Lightweight softshell jackets guarantee maximum freedom of movement with every use of the pole. The materials are extremely flexible and functional. For example, jackets with a hood all around are suitable on days with snowfall, while thin running jackets are used on milder and sunny days. In ODLO's three-layer principle, the cross-country ski jackets provide weather protection.
With the ZEROWEIGHT jackets, you are choosing a featherweight cross-country skiing jacket that will accompany you in any weather. It ensures optimal interaction between insulation, ventilation and moisture transport. The thin softshell material guarantees you maximum freedom of movement even during periods of intense movement. On frosty days you are on the safe side with the AEOLUS fleece jackets. A comfortable fit doesn't restrict you and thanks to the innovative body mapping, body specific zones of the cross-country jackets provide excellent temperature and moisture balance.
The anatomically cut cross-country trousers for men usually fit tightly to the body to provide better aerodynamics and keep the freedom of movement at a high level. Like the cross-country ski jackets, they form the outer layer in the functional three-layer principle. That makes your standards high. Wind, wetness and cold must be kept away from the muscles to prevent them from cooling down.
The WINDSHIELD technology ensures that icy winds do not penetrate through the layer of clothing with the membranes on sensitive parts of the body. Cross-country skiing is a motion-intensive sport where you do not have to accept any restrictions. ODLO's cross-country skiing trousers, in various fits and temperature levels, offer pleasant wearing comfort at all times.
Low temperatures and icy winds do not stop at the head and hands. Most body heat escapes through an unprotected head. To complete your functional cross-country skiing clothing, you should use a thin cap or headband that insulates the heat without making you sweat. Thin materials and insulating layers of fleece guarantee you optimal temperature control.
To do your fingers a favour as well, thin cross-country skiing gloves are a good choice. This not only warms your hands, but also helps you keep your grip on the pole.
You can fully enjoy your outdoor adventure in the cross-country ski run if you wear the right cross-country skiing clothing. Baselayer and midlayer perfectly adapted to your needs with innovative technologies as well as cross-country trousers and cross-country jackets made of light materials that protect you in all weather conditions are essential for this sport. Wind, wetness and cold have no chance to cool your body.
With the right accessories, you will get cross-country skiing clothing that you can perfectly adapt to all weather conditions. So nothing stands in the way of an eventful day on the trail.
