The following is a list of the clothing that each skier should have for the season.

-Wicking top: Zip turtleneck or mock neck long sleeve. ABSOLUTELY NO COTTON!

-Wind front pants: SW warm-up , or other, full-zip is great for racing, easy off and on.

HEAD

Balaclava (breathable face mask), neck gaiter, or Buff.

HANDS

-Lonster gloves are warmer than gloves. Mitts are the warmest. Specific nordic skiing handwear works best for moement and feel.

Costco sells a 3 pack of Smartwool-like wool socks.
