Layering is an extremely important aspect of the ski clothing and apparel setup. As the name implies, the mid-layers go in between the base layer and the outer garment. The main point is to provide insulation and breathability. Our mid-layer selection here at SkiEssentials.com is vast and varied, offering highly technical pieces from Nils, Patagonia, Cotopaxi, Helly Hansen, and more. The added bonus here is that the mid-layeris not just limited to the resorts and as part of the whole kit. Many mid-layers function great in a casual setting as well. It’s not just skiing, but apres-ski, hiking, lounging, and leisure all can call a mid-layer a functional piece of clothing. Whether you’re looking for a traditional fleece or a high-tech nano puff, we’ve got your mid-layers all set in this category.
