Discover Unlimited Beauty
For maximum comfort, favours a “multi-layer” clothing system: cool underwear (tights + jersey – fibers wicking away perspiration) + jacket and over-trousers with waterproof and breathable membrane (“Gore-Tex” type or equivalent) for bad weather. Avoid cotton which retains moisture close to the body (and dries with difficulty) in favour of suitable synthetic materials. Merino wool garments are very efficient and pleasant to wear, and have the advantage of not developing the smell of perspiration!
at your maximum comfort
