Professional winter athletes often find themselves navigating the most unforgiving climates where their very survival and performance depend on the quality of their clothing.  

We talked to Mammoth-based Danila Shipilov about layering for snowboarding and the go-to Merino wool pieces he uses as a first line of defense against the elements. Here's what he had to say...

"The Baldwin Jacket effortlessly transitions from a functional mid layer on the slopes to a comfortable casual piece in town, making it an easy versatile choice."

"The Banked Mid Weight Ski Sock is my first choice in the sock drawer, really comfortable, breathable and warm."

"The Ridge Glove Liner is a great addition to my touring kit. Little bit of added warmth or some protection from the Sierra sun at no cost to the pack weight."

The Aspect Midweight Base Layer is perfect for touring thanks to its breathability and temperature regulating properties. (The new Outerspace Spray Dye print is unique - so no two are alike.)
 


Winter athletes know that success starts with the right foundation. Our base and mid layers are designed for those who demand peak performance in daily life and the wildest outdoor conditions. Underneath it all, you can always rely on Ridge.
