Find your cross-country ski clothing
In cross-country skiing, movement is continuous and the body warms up quickly. Efficient thermoregulation is therefore essential. Today, brands design garments that are comfortable, breathable, and remarkably lightweight. To keep your body at the ideal temperature and protected from the elements, it’s important to choose your cross-country ski clothing according to the weather conditions and the intensity of your sessions.
Find your thermal base layer
Breathable base layer
This garment acts as a true second skin. It quickly wicks away body moisture to maintain an optimal temperature during activity. Made from hydrophobic materials with a stretch structure, it’s designed for maximum comfort and unrestricted movement. The thermal base layer also plays a key role in keeping the cold at bay.
Merino wool base layers
Merino wool is highly valued for its natural properties:
- Exceptional thermal regulation
- Odour resistance even after several days of use
- Soft comfort without irritation
These base layers are ideal for very cold conditions or for skiers seeking a natural and high-performance solution.
Look at our thermal base layer section to find the one that suits you best. Warm, highly breathable, and versatile — there’s bound to be one that meets your needs.
Buy your mid layer at Glisshop
Training suits
Generally, the top of the suit serves as the mid layer. Its purpose is to complement the base layer while insulating your body. Lycra is particularly appreciated for this. This hydrophobic fabric dries very quickly and provides excellent wind resistance.
Race suits
This is also the outer layer used in competitions. Extremely comfortable to wear, they perfectly fulfil their role as protective and ventilated garments.
Made mainly from synthetic fibres such as lycra or polyamide, they provide:
- Excellent moisture wicking
- Wind protection
- Total freedom of movement
They are generally worn alone or with a thin base layer.
You’ll easily find the cross-country ski suit you like in the suit section.
Outer layer for cross-country skiing: ski jacket
The outer layer, also known as a cross-country ski jacket, is your protective shield against the weather.
Its role is to block the wind, repel snow and light rain, while allowing perspiration to escape efficiently.
This layer balances protection and breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable even during long or intense outings.
The choice of jacket depends on several factors:
- The outside temperature
- The wind strength and humidity
- The intensity of your effort (leisure outing or high-intensity training)
A good Nordic ski jacket should therefore offer freedom of movement, lightness, and protection, without overheating or feeling clammy.
Men’s and women’s cross-country ski jackets
Our jackets are designed to meet the specific needs of every body shape and skiing style.
- Women’s jackets are typically fitted and stylish, with ergonomic cuts that follow the body’s shape while maintaining excellent range of motion.
- Men’s jackets focus on performance and freedom of movement, featuring straighter fits and stretch panels for maximum comfort.
Each model is designed to deliver the perfect balance between thermal comfort and technical performance, whether for training or racing.
Technical breathable jackets
Designed for demanding skiers and intensive training, technical breathable jackets stand out for their optimal ventilation.
They are made from lightweight, water-repellent materials that resist light moisture while allowing vapour to escape.
Targeted ventilation zones (underarms, back, or chest) promote active temperature regulation, preventing overheating.
This type of jacket is ideal for dynamic sessions or variable conditions, where both intensity and weather can change quickly.
Windproof softshell jackets
Softshell jackets combine light insulation with effective wind protection.
They’re particularly suited to cold, dry conditions or windy days.
Their water-repellent outer fabric blocks wind and light precipitation, while the inner lining, often made of fine or brushed fleece, provides pleasant thermal comfort without compromising breathability.
These jackets offer an excellent balance between protection and flexibility, perfect for medium-intensity sessions or long Nordic treks.
Sleeveless Nordic vests
Sleeveless vests are perfect for mild conditions or high-intensity workouts.
They allow great freedom of arm movement, essential for an efficient poling motion in cross-country skiing, while keeping the torso warm.
With a windproof front panel and a breathable back, they ensure excellent thermal regulation.
Lightweight and compact, they can easily be stowed in a backpack or pocket when temperatures rise.
Browse our jacket section and find the one that suits you. Detailed product descriptions are available to help guide your choice.
Skating and classic ski trousers
Our cross-country ski trousers are designed to follow the dynamic movement of Nordic skiing: flexion, extension, propulsion.
They combine flexibility, breathability, and wind protection for optimal comfort on the trails.
- Skating pants are generally more fitted to enhance aerodynamics and range of motion.
- Classic models, with a straighter fit, offer more ease for the diagonal stride and Nordic walking.
Their stretch fabric and ergonomic seams ensure excellent mobility, even during intense sessions.
Women’s and children’s trousers
We offer trousers suitable for all ages and body types.
- Women’s trousers feature fitted cuts and a soft lining, providing comfort and insulation without bulk.
- Children’s models prioritise ease of dressing and durability to accompany young skiers on all their Nordic adventures.
All our models use stretch materials and breathable membranes to guarantee warmth, comfort, and performance.
Overtrousers and thermal tights
Overtrousers are perfect for warm-ups, very cold outings, or waiting phases during competitions.
With full-length side zips, they can be removed easily without taking off your boots.
Some models feature reinforced areas at the knees and ankles for enhanced durability.
Thermal tights, on the other hand, are worn directly against the skin or under overtrousers.
Made from stretch, breathable fabrics, they provide excellent thermal insulation while allowing complete freedom of movement.
Don’t hesitate to explore our cross-country ski trousers section to find your perfect pair!
