Why dedicated Nordic skiing equipment changes the experience
Nordic skiing requires continuous endurance: propulsion, gliding, changes of pace, temperature variations, shaded or exposed passages. In this sport, where the body heats up quickly but cools down just as quickly during breaks, thermoregulation, breathability and freedom of movement are crucial. The extremities—especially the hands—are the first to suffer: a lack of dexterity or cold fingers immediately impair pushing technique, pole support and overall comfort.
Generic winter gear (overly thick gloves, standard socks, non-breathable layers) quickly becomes limiting: overheating, perspiration, cooling, frozen fingers, loss of sensitivity. The Therm-ic Cross-Country Skiing collection responds precisely to these constraints with lightweight, technical products designed for dynamic effort and dry cold: cross-country skiing socks, base layers, accessories, cross-country skiing tights and cross-country skiing gloves designed to keep you warm without losing mobility.
What the Therm-ic Cross-Country Skiing collection offers
- Targeted warmth & insulation adapted to the activity: Socks such as the Ultra Warm Nordic S.E.T® combine thinness, merino wool and ventilation to keep feet warm without compromising fit, even during intense movement.
- Cross-country ski gloves designed for performance: Therm-ic Nordic ski gloves prioritise thinness, freedom of movement and precision:
- lightweight but effective insulation to retain heat without the ‘mittens effect’,
- grippy palms and reinforced areas for better grip on poles,
- high breathability to limit moisture during repeated pushes,
- quick drying to avoid the ‘wet gloves = cold fingers’ effect.
- Tights for cross-country skiing: the range includes cross-country skiing tights, to be used as a base layer to protect you from the elements.
- Breathability & moisture management for endurance: Therm-ic technical fabrics quickly wick away perspiration to prevent condensation, blisters, cooling of the extremities and loss of comfort.
- Mobility, precision and lightness: Each item — lightweight gloves, base layers, tights, neck warmers — is designed to preserve the agility essential for propulsion, movement control and quick handling (poles, straps, fasteners).
- Adaptability to changing conditions: Lightweight products for intense outings, more insulated options for very cold days, heated models for sensitive hands—Nordic skiers can adapt their equipment to the terrain and weather.
- A complete kit designed for Nordic skiing: Socks, cross-country skiing gloves, cross-country skiing tights, base layers, neck warmers: a coherent system that protects the whole body, optimises thermoregulation and maximises enjoyment over long distances.
Who is this Nordic Skiing collection for?
- Cross-country skiers (leisure, Nordic touring, skating, classic) looking for comfort, warmth and mobility.
- Endurance athletes in cold conditions for whom thermal management and breathability are essential.
- People who are sensitive to cold hands or feet, for whom the right Nordic ski gloves and technical socks make an immediate difference.
- For those who want a consistent outfit, designed for performance and consistency on the snow.
Expert advice & best practices
- Adjust your equipment according to the weather and intensity: thin, breathable gloves for sustained effort, more insulated or heated models for breaks or very cold conditions.
- Combine technical socks + suitable cross-country ski gloves + tights + a breathable base layer for effective thermoregulation.
- Prioritise moisture management to avoid cooling and discomfort.
- Think about the whole system (feet/hands/torso/neck).
- Test your equipment at the start of the season to refine sizes, fits and layer combinations.
