SKI MORE, BE BETTER.

Cross-country skiing is without a doubt the most challenging endurance sport there is. A full body workout that requires skill, pace and stamina in demanding weather conditions. When top XC-athletes started using our cycling and running gear we dove deeper to better understand the specific needs of cross-country skiing to find better solutions. The result is protection without obstructing freedom of motion while regulating body climate. To improve your cross-country skiing experience.

OUR MISSION DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

“Our mission was to design a collection that balances contrary needs. Cross country skiers need a wide range of motion in the upper body and arms area, yet an athletic fit. And while being protected against wind chill and cold, the fabric must allow enough breathability and ventilation to avoid overheating. So it was crucial to give it a practical try and listen to athletes’ feedback.“ Kristina Mora, product designer

DNA OF THE XC COLLECTION PROTECTION FROM WIND, COLD AND SNOW

XC skiing in cold winter conditions doesn’t allow any compromise on protection. GORE® body-mapped products balance GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ protection and thermal insulation at critical body areas so that you stay warm and dry when facing the elements.

This is what body mapping means.The right level of protection, breathability, and freedom of movement in the different body areas to fulfill athletes’ needs.” Grit Promberger, product developer
