What has changed since those days of cotton thermal wear and canvas gear, however, is the ever-more active winter sports aficionados, who downhill, backcountry, and off-piste ski; randonee; snowboard—and more. To accommodate these athletes, an avalanche of new ski jackets, ski coats, and undergarments are descending on the winter outerwear market. </p> <table width="360" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <th scope="col"><div align="center"><br> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <br> </div></th> </tr> </table> <p>Today's essential layers are made with new technical materials, construction, and styles. The base layer, which wicks away sweat, may now be made of anything from no-itch wool to Polypropylene and Capilene. The insulating jacket, or middle layer, can be made of such materials as Thermacore, Primaloft, or down. </p> <p>A thinner outer shell, or ski coat, must both protect from the wind and wet and breathe (let sweat escape), so you don’t soak in your own brine. Materials range from the rugged three-ply Gore XCR™ to a host of new, waterproof stretch fabrics for your (hopefully intentional) airborne acrobatics. And the latest trend is hybrids that combine layers, such as a fleece-lined, waterproof active ski coat, or an inner ski jacket that combines mesh and microfleece. </p> <p>The key to deciding how many ski jackets and other layers to go with—and which materials to choose—is knowing where you’re going and how much of a sweat you’ll be working up. Go with heavier, stiffer materials for less active, colder sports and the lighter, more flexible stuff for more-athletic adventures. <span class="style1">Custom Silicone Bracelets are often used by athletes to promote their awareness cause. These are sometimes referred to as personalized rubber wristbands. </span></p> <p>Major innovators such as Arc’teryx, <a class="typeG" href="thenorthface.shtml">the North Face</a>, Mountain Hardware, Burton, Patagonia, and Spyder are coming up with further features for body-temp control. Pit-zip ventilation systems, waterproof zippers, wind-foiling shock cords, form-fitting hoods, better seam-sealing technologies, zip-out linings, and improved cuff designs help you customize your ski jacket setup for your sweat quotient and the climate. </p> <p>And for lighter weight and sleeker styles, some ski coats include detachable hoods, hideaway powder skirts, fewer (but more strategically placed) pockets—and even wired compartments for iPods. Add that to this season’s subtle hues dashed with citrus colors, and you’re styling for both hardcore schussing and après ski strutting.</p> </td> <td width="250" valign="top"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="17"> <tr> <td width="214" valign="top"> <p><strong><font color="#006699">Featured Brands</font></strong><br> <a href="/gear/arcteryx.shtml">Arc'teryx</a><br> <a href="/gear/billabong.shtml">Billabong</a><br> <a href="/gear/burton-snowboards.shtml">Burton</a><br> <a href="/gear/chaco.shtml">Chaco</a><br> <a href="/gear/cloudveil.shtml">Cloudveil</a><br> <a href="/gear/garmin-gps.shtml">Garmin GPS</a><br> <a href="/gear/garmont.shtml">Garmont</a><br> <a href="/gear/hurley.shtml">Hurley</a><br> <a href="/gear/k2-skis.shtml">K2 Skis</a><br> <a href="/gear/keen.shtml">Keen</a><br> <a href="/gear/merrell.shtml">Merrell</a><br> <a href="/gear/mountain-hardwear.shtml">Mountain Hardwear</a><br> <a href="/gear/nike.shtml">Nike</a><br> <a href="/gear/thenorthface.shtml">The North Face</a><br> <a href="/gear/oakley.shtml">Oakely</a><br> <a href="/gear/osprey.shtml">Osprey</a><br> <a href="/gear/patagonia.shtml">Patagonia</a><br> <a href="/gear/pearlizumi.shtml">Pearl Izumi</a><br> <a href="/gear/prana.shtml">Prana</a><br> <a href="/gear/quiksilver.shtml">Quiksilver</a><br> <a href="/gear/roxy.shtml">Roxy</a><br> <a href="/gear/timbuk2.shtml">Timbuk 2</a><br> <a href="/gear/vasqueshoes.shtml">Vasque</a><br> <a href="/gear/watergirl.shtml">Water Girl</a><br></p> <p><strong><font color="#006699">Top Categories</font></strong><br> <a href="/gear/backpack.shtml">Backpack</a><br> <a href="/gear/backpacks.shtml">Backpacks</a><br> <a href="/gear/board-shorts.shtml">Board Shorts</a><br> <a href="/gear/camping-tents.shtml">Camping Tents</a><br> <a href="/gear/down-jackets.shtml">Down Jackets</a><br> <a href="/gear/fleece-jackets.shtml">Fleece Jackets</a><br> <a href="/gear/hiking-boots.shtml">Hiking Boots</a><br> <a href="/gear/ski-jackets.shtml">Ski Jackets</a><br> <a href="/gear/sleeping-bags.shtml">Sleeping Bags</a><br> <a href="/gear/ski-jackets.shtml">Ski Jackets</a><br> <a href="/gear/snowboard-jackets.shtml">Snowboard Jackets</a><br> <a href="/gear/index.shtml">Outdoor Gear</a><br> <p><strong><font color="#006699">Other Resources</font></strong><br> <a href="../costumes/index.shtml">Costumes</a><br> <a href="../shoes/index.shtml">Shoes</a><br> <a href="../silicone-bracelets.htm">Silicone Bracelets</a><br> <a href="../custom-silicone-wristbands.htm">Custom Silicone Wristbands</a><br> <a href="../custom-rubber-wristbands.htm">Custom Rubber Wristbands</a><br> <a href="../custom-rubber-bracelets.htm">Custom Rubber Bracelets</a><br> <a href="http://www.truefocus.net">Truefocus Homepage</a></p><br> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>  <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-179033-2"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> </html>
