The layering system for ski touring: what you need to know

The well-known onion look is particularly useful for ski touring, because by combining several functional layers, you can react more quickly to changes in changeable weather conditions and thus prevent chilling or excessive sweating.

The layering concept is based on wearing several layers, usually three thin layers on top of each other, each of which fulfills a specific function. The three layers are as follows:

1. Layer, the baselayer: The first layer consists of moisture-wicking materials that wick sweat away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable.
2. Second layer, the midlayer: The middle layer is responsible for insulation and warmth to protect the body from the cold. This layer often consists of materials such as fleece or down. Depending on the weather, you can wear one or two layers of insulation.
3. Third layer, the third layer or hardshell: The third layer is designed to protect you from external weather influences such as wind, rain and snow, while at the same time allowing optimum breathability.

The layering principle offers the great advantage that you can easily put on or take off your ski touring clothing during the ski tour depending on the weather, just like the onion principle. This allows you to effectively regulate your body temperature yourself and make a significant contribution to ensuring that you are comfortable and well protected in every situation.

We'll show you how you can combine the new ski touring clothing from Schöffel to create the perfect layering outfit.

This is your base layer from Schöffel on your ski tour

It's best to choose functional underwear for the first layer, which lies directly against your body. At Schöffel you will find many models made from merino wool. The great advantage of functional underwear made from merino wool is that it is very breathable, soft and climate-regulating. You can also choose between different models: Whether long-sleeved, sleeveless or short-sleeved - Schöffel has a large selection.

Your ski touring clothing is insulating and warm - find your midlayer

In the new ski touring collection from Schöffel, you will find several items that are ideal for wearing as a midlayer or insulation layer.

The Down Jacket Tschierval M is warming, insulating and the perfect companion on your next ski tour. You can use the jacket flexibly and wear it as a shell on very warm and sunny days - on colder days or in the early hours of the morning, the Down Jacket Tschierval M can also be worn as an insulating layer or mid-layer. Thanks to the RSD-certified down and PrimaLoft® Silver padding, you will be pleasantly warm without breaking a sweat. You can also wear your helmet under the hood of this jacket and practical outer pockets provide you with storage space when touring.

Also ready for ski touring underneath with the 3L Pants Pizac L/M

High-quality ski touring pants are just as important as your touring jacket. Because if you cool down underneath, your entire body will gradually cool down. Follow the onion principle here too and dress yourself with ski underwear and long underpants. The 3L Pants Pizac L/M serve as a shell. Maximum freedom of movement is provided by 4-way stretch, while ventilation on the legs ensures the necessary circulation and cooling.
