Testing our ski gear!



We were very lucky to be able to take our VikingBoys skiing for the first time last week and really tested our snow outfits to the max. It wasn't too cold, less than 5° below zero, and we found that most of the time we didn't need our fleeces under the ski coat or snowsuit coverall - thermal underwear and a rollneck cotton jumper was usually enough. The one day when it snowed (see bottom right photo), a microfleece jacket over the thermals was ideal.

The microfleece balaclava was perfect under the ski helmets, keeping necks and chins warm without any need for dangly scarves.

We had a lot of fun in the snow and would love to try it again!
