Instruction

1. The most important rule for everything, carried away by winter sports - the layer-by-layer principle of clothes. Three layers of things are designed to provide normal thermal control, to warm and defend in the frost and wind.

2. The first layer, the closest to the body – the modern layered clothing. It is much more practical than cotton – fibers of fabric absorb sweat and instantly dry, without cooling skin and without causing excess inconveniences. Choose the jersey with the round cut under the throat and long sleeves and add it with long breeches. There are models for men and women – they are distinguished by the sizes and some anatomic nuances. Don't buy too close linen – it can interfere with normal blood circulation.

3. For the exit on skis in very frosty or windy weather add equipment with one more layer. Put on the warm thermoshirt and the shortened trousers-taytsy. Atop it is possible to pull the thin woolen jersey. Don't choose too volume models – will inconveniently move to them. Finish the dress not blown overalls or the combination from the warmed trousers and the jacket.

4. Don't forget about the foot. The best option – the long thermosocks defending the ankle and the part of the shin. If one couple isn't enough, put on two. You watch that socks didn't squeeze the foot, otherwise your legs will quickly freeze.

5. Selecting the hat, pay attention to models, closing ears. If the suitable cap wasn't, add available the warm bandage or earphones. Take care also of the person. For throat guard, the chin and the nape there are special devices – nail buffers. Usually they are carried by snowboarders, but also for running skiers the nail buffer will become the fine defense.

6. The last, but very important accessory – gloves. Usual gloves for cross-country skis can seem to you too thin. The excellent exit – to put on two couples at once or to pick up the special double models allowing adjustment of quantity of layers. If at you hands freeze, buy two-layer sports mittens or gloves for mountain skis.
