Start with the Base Layer
The Artilect Goldhill 125 (mens) and Boulder 125 (womens) are the lightest merino baselayers we've ever tested. The vented, "eyelet" panels help you dump heat and stay comfortable.
Softshell Jacket and Pants
We favor the Women's Alpine Start Jacket with the Women's Dawn Patrol Pants. Fantastic breathability and a perfect fit for skiing. For men, the Rab Borealis is breathable and durable and pairs great with the Men's Dawn Patrol Pant.
New Recommendation:
M Northwoods Windshell
Breathable by design. Featuring a premium, Japanese 100% polyester knit, the Northwoods is designed for air permeability. Featuring mechanical stretch that's woven into the fabric, the Northwoods can exclude heavy, absorbent textiles like elastane and nylon. Easily the most breathable softshell we've tested.
