Men's ski knitwear

Cut, thickness and movement beneath the jacket are what matter. A chunky everyday jumper can take up a lot of space there. For active skiing, a finer top is often easier to combine with other layers and ventilate.

Personal sensitivity varies, as do yarn blends and construction. If your skin is sensitive, compare the feel against your neck and forearm. Wearing the jumper over a thin base layer is another way to avoid direct contact.

Open knit allows air through. For windy days, plan a suitable outer layer or choose a model explicitly designed with wind protection. Additional warmth depends on your movement, the weather and how readily you feel the cold.

Read the care label and use the specified washing programme and suitable detergent. Thorough airing may be enough at first. Shape wet knitwear carefully and dry as directed so it does not stretch or become distorted unnecessarily.
