The Principle of Three Layers

How to... Snowboard

8th January 2024 | 0 comments

A well-chosen jacket and pants are not the only way to ensure thermal comfort. The most important thing is to follow the principle of three layers. High quality first layer, tech hoodiesnowboard jacket and pants.

1. Transporting layer

1. Transportní vrstva

The base layer wicks moisture in the form of sweat away from the skin, preventing cooling or overheating due to physical activity and thus keeping the body in optimal thermal comfort. This layer is in direct contact with the skin and is made of non-absorbent synthetic fibres that both insulate and allow liquid moisture to be drawn away from the body surface. The synthetic fibres do not swell, the interstices in the fabric remain open and thus retain breathability.

In order for the first layer to perform well, it must be tight on the body. You should therefore get your underwear, pants and T-shirt. For cold-tempered individuals, we recommend thermal underwear with Merino wool, which warm even when it is moist and is naturally antibacterial, so it reduces the odors.

Of course, quality snowboard socks are a must.

If you want to have only the best pieces on your body, choose ORTOVOX thermal underwear, which contains merino wool, excels in top thermoregulatory properties and prevents odor.

              The wool used to make ORTOVOX products comes from sustainable sheep farming in Tasmania and Switzerland. Through the ORTOVOX Wool Promise program, the brand monitors the conditions of breeding, shearing, slaughtering and transporting sheep. The result is not only top quality wool, but also long-term sustainability and environmental friendliness.

              The guarantee of excellent functionality and reliability is also the base layer from Czech brand Sensor or Mons Royale.

              2. Isolating layer

              2. Izolační vrstva

              Tech hoodie can be made from a variety of insulating fibers and fabrics. Most often, materials made from synthetic fibers that do not absorb moisture, and therefore retain good insulation properties, are used. In addition, synthetic fibers have a higher moisture transport capacity than natural fibers, thanks to lesser water absorption.

              Synthetic materials also dry much faster than natural insulating materials. This category includes all so-called tech and fleece hoodies of different weights and adjustments.

              Even some technical hoodies use Merino wool, which gives them unique properties that cannot be replaced by synthetic materials. You can find such in the ORTOVOX Technical Hoodies category.

                          3. Protective top layer

                          3. Ochranná vrstva

                          Top layer protects against the weather. It must be waterproof to prevent the ingress of water from the outside environment and at the same time be breathable to prevent moisture from the inside from accumulating in the insulation layers. Choose from our offer of top tech jackets, snowboard jackets and pants. Don't forget quality gloves, neck warmers & balaclavas and a beanie. Winter won't bring you down anymore!
