1. Merino Wool Base Layers for Men and Women 

Those who spend most of their time outside know that merino wool base layers are necessary. You can never have too many merino wool base layers in your closet! Merino wool is a natural fibre that retains body heat even when wet. It’s also odourless and very resistant. Smartwool and Mons Royale are excellent choices for the upper or lower body.

2. Sidas Boot Dryer (Yep!)

A boot dryer might seem like a boring gift, but it will be a true revelation for skiers and snowboarders who ride a lot in a week or one day. Sidas Dry Flow UV boot dryer dries your inner boots fast, and the UV light eliminates bacteria caused by humidity. You can also use it to dry your mittens and your winter boots.

It’s easy to store, it fits in your suitcase to take along on ski trips, and you’ll always be ready to hit the slopes.

4. Heated Socks  

Winter 2022 is quite frigid. At -20 degrees, the slopes might be a little less inviting for skiers and snowboarders! That’s why heated socks were created. A little help to stay warm is always welcome.

Many enthusiasts at Oberson agree: heated socks will definitely change your experience on the slopes during cold days. They are comfortable and high-performance, and you can also set the temperature from your cell phone when needed. However, if your budget doesn’t allow it, Thermic’s Merino Reflector socks are an excellent option.
