Ski sweaters for kids
A ski sweater for kids is the warm second layer between the thermal wear and the ski jacket. With the short zip, your child can easily open the sweater when it gets warm. Here you will find ski sweaters for kids from Dare 2b, Craft and Icepeak.
Nice and warm
When skiing you do not want to get cold, not even when you stand still for a moment or are sitting on the lift going up. The 3-layer system can help you choose your clothing. By following this system, you will not quickly get cold or too warm. Thermal wear is the first layer and its main properties are wicking away sweat and keeping your body dry. A ski sweater or fleece serves as the second layer. The function of this second layer is to insulate heat. This second layer also wicks the sweat from the first layer further to the outside. A ski jacket is the last layer. It protects you from snow, rain and wind.
Fit of the ski sweater
The ski sweater retains heat. To avoid losing heat, it is important that the ski sweater fits snugly. The high collar of a ski sweater keeps snow and cold from getting down your neck. Ski sweaters with a short zip are easy to put on and take off and have the advantage that you can open the zip if you want a bit of ventilation.
Ski sweaters are made of stretch or fleece fabric. These fabrics are comfortable and wick away sweat quickly. Cotton is not a good option for a ski sweater, because cotton absorbs moisture but does not wick it away. This keeps your clothing wet and you cool down quickly. Some ski sweaters are made of a blend of cotton and a synthetic fibre. These ski sweaters are an option, because they have the softness of cotton combined with the moisture-wicking property of fleece.
A thin stretch ski sweater is pleasant to wear on less cold days. On cold days, choose a warm fleece ski sweater.
Tips
Do not buy the ski sweater too big: it must fit snugly to retain the warmth. Dare 2b and Craft are our most popular brands for kids.
