A great ski day starts with the right base layer. When temperatures drop and conditions change fast, merino wool is the gold standard for comfort, warmth, and breathability.

This guide covers the best women’s merino base layers for skiing and winter adventures—designed to keep you warm, dry, and comfortable from first chair to après.


Why Merino Wool Is Ideal for Skiing

Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant—making it the best foundation for long days in the mountains.

Why skiers love merino:
  • Keeps you warm without overheating
  • Wicks moisture away from the skin
  • Resists odor for multi-day wear
  • Soft and non-itchy against skin
