出國滑雪該怎麼穿?
台灣因為緯度氣候關係，無法直接就近體驗滑雪運動的快感，但隨著出國旅遊的普及，台灣人到國外旅遊滑雪的機會越來越多。或許你剛好也有機會出國旅遊，但對於第一次滑雪沒有經驗的你可能會對滑雪該穿些什麼毫無頭緒。如果你只是偶爾滑雪的初學者，又不想花大錢一次買全套專業的滑雪裝，你可以先從自己的衣櫥開始，說不定就有你滑雪需要的衣服了。直到你確定你已經有些基礎，滑雪的機會也漸漸頻繁時，便可以考慮添購一些專業的滑雪裝備，因為它們對於一個滑雪愛好者來說，確實是有差的。
滑雪該穿什麼 - 襪子
對於滑雪時襪子的選擇，保暖絕對是首要條件。第二就是厚度必須要薄。如此，又保暖又薄的羊毛襪絕對是你的首選，但對於有些人的雙腳動作經常讓襪子磨損很快，所以羊毛和其他纖維混紡的材質可以增加其耐磨度。襪子需要保暖很正常，但可能很多人無法理解為什麼滑雪的襪子需要薄。通常在滑雪運動時，有時因為過厚的襪子，導致血管和神經受到擠壓，可能會致使腳底感覺麻木，甚至嚴重的話會組織壞死。另外，薄的襪子可以讓腳底直接感受滑雪靴，讓滑雪時的操控更得宜。不過有個例外的條件，如果你的滑雪靴不是合腳的，那穿著有厚度的襪子可能比薄襪子要來得舒適許多。
滑雪該穿什麼 - 滑雪靴
不管是租用的或是自己購買的滑雪靴，在套量的過程絕對是非常重要的。滑雪靴是腳和滑雪板之間的連接，如果滑雪靴的尺寸太大，你會發現滑雪板會變得難操控，並且容易扭傷腳踝。如果尺寸太小，可能會阻礙血液循環或壓迫到腳部神經，致使雙腳末端麻木或壞死，這是非常危險的。所以滑雪時穿著一雙合腳的滑雪靴是舒適滑雪的關鍵。
滑雪該穿什麼 - 褲子
滑雪時穿得褲子肯定是必須要防水的。在滑雪的過程中，你可能會坐在雪地中或坐在纜車椅上，使身上的體溫將接觸到的雪融化成水。所以在選購滑雪褲時，必須挑選防水且透氣材質的布料。透氣的防水褲，能在滑雪的激烈運動中，將人體皮膚的水氣排出，讓身體不會因為汗水濕氣而感到不適。具有撥水效果加工的材質更能防止雪水融化時直接將材質表面浸濕，進而保持褲子的乾燥。

一件防風的外套是很重要的。在滑雪的過程中，因為俯衝速度而產生的冷風很容易造成人體體溫的流失。而防水的強度則要取決於滑雪的環境，以澳洲為例，澳洲的滑雪地較濕，且容易下雨。在這種滑雪環境下，選擇防水度高的外套是有必要的。而像美國或加拿大等較乾燥的滑雪氣候，主要還是以防風作為首要條件。在挑選防水外套時，外套的材質也必須要特別注意，挑選透氣透濕的材質，才能在激烈運動中，將人體產生的濕氣排出，減少身體的不舒適感。在設計上，最好能有脖子的擋片，能同時阻擋高速滑雪時，冷風從脖子入侵。

滑雪該穿什麼 - 內衣褲
內衣褲的主要作用可能不是保暖，而是讓皮膚保持乾爽舒適。內衣褲的材質千萬避免棉質，棉質製品雖然容易保暖和吸收汗水，卻不容易排汗，而容易導致汗水累積在棉質衣物上，變得又重又濕。加上零下的環境溫度，極有可能將吸飽汗水的棉質衣物凝結成霜，不但造成皮膚接觸時的不舒適，體溫也會容易流失。因此價格親民的吸濕排汗衣可能是你最好的選擇。快速的吸汗、排汗，這才是你真正需要的。

以天然的纖維來說，羊毛是很好的選擇。但如果你不想花大錢買羊毛製品，可以選擇價格容易接受的聚酯纖維布料。千萬不可選擇棉質產品做為你的保暖層衣物，棉質吸汗卻不易排出的特性，容易造成反效果，創造一個結霜的冷硬層。這對人體皮膚而言，絕對是一種很大的折磨。市面上販售具有發熱效果的聚酯纖維也是很棒的選擇。一般的發熱衣通常具備有吸濕排汗的功能，讓身體保暖卻不容易黏膩。但在選擇發熱衣時，切記不要有品牌迷思，並且價格不等於價值。以市面上最常見的遠紅外線陶瓷粉織品來說，一件500元左右的發熱衣應算是合理價格。

What To Wear for Snow Skiing
You will probably find you or friends will have some of the clothes you will need. So no need to buy a whole wardrobe just to try skiing out. In some locations you can even hire jackets and pants so it is worth checking what you can get without buying until you are sure you are hooked. On the other hand if you are desperate to spend there are some great technical ski garments around.
Socks
Usually your socks should be warm but thin. So thin woollen socks are the most preferred. Some people wear silk socks although these tend to wear out quickly. Wool and silk mixtures are also popular and some folks prefer thin wicking socks. Thin socks are best as they let you feel the sole of your ski boot which is where the action is generated as you ski. When renting boots though they can be quite a poor fit so thicker socks may be a better choice until you buy your own boots. Try to ensure your socks will fit well and not be prone to wrinkling up because there is nothing worse than a sock wrinkle pushing on your foot in a tight ski boot. Make sure that only your socks are inside of your boots for the same reason, extra layers can make pressure areas that cut off circulation or numb nerves so try to avoid them.
Boots
You will probably be renting boots... These are a very important item as they are the connection between you and the skis. If this connection is too sloppy you will find it hard to get the skis to do what you want them to do. You want the boots to fit firmly around your foot but not to cut off your circulation or press too hard on nerves and make your feet numb. This is probably the first piece of equipment you will want to purchase if you get hooked on the thrill of skiing, if so make sure to see a good bootfitter and have your boots well fitted.
Pants
You want these to be waterproof!!! You will be sitting on a chair-lift that may have snow on it, falling into the snow etc. You will feel really cold and miserable if you get wet so go waterproof. Plastic can be slippery, if you fall on snow you may slide a long way but it works if you are just learning on the beginner slope.
Jacket
It is very important that this should be windproof. You will be sitting on a chair-lift in the wind. The need for waterproof depends on your climate. In places like Australia where the snow is wet, and it often rains waterproof is important. In a drier climate like Utah or Colorado you will only need windproof. You will want a jacket you can close up against the bad weather - so preferably zip up around the neck and a hood to snuggle into. In colder climates a down jacket can be good in cold weather.
Thermal Underwear
Even if it is warm and you do not need this for warmth you may want to consider wearing a layer of thermal underwear to remove moisture from your skin. There are many companies that make sports wear that perform this job. If you do not have anything suitable then even a cheap pair of thermal underwear (legs and top) will be fine. Cotton holds moisture and will make a chill layer so try to avoid using any cotton. Generally many thin layers is a better system than 1 thick layer - the exception being if it is very cold and you have access to a down jacket - so even a couple of layers of thermal underwear can be handy if you are in a cold climate and/or feel the cold. I have found I can often get silk thermals at a good price(around $15 US) so these can be good if you are buying. Similarly there are well priced thermal layers available in most cooler climates. If you are coming from a warm climate perhaps try some online shopping or stop at a department store on your way to your destination.
