Our team developed this lightweight T-shirt for cross-country skiing at moderate intensity and/or in cool weather.With its fitted cut and components, the 500 T-shirt is technical and light. Can be worn as a first layer for excellent temperature regulation and perspiration wicking.

SIZING INFORMATION

The T-shirt 500 has a snug, slim fit, i.e. close to the body.
If you’re looking for a second skin effect (skin-tight), choose your usual size.
If you’re looking for a looser fit, choose one size up from your usual size.

How to stay warm and dry during my cross-country skiing outings?

We recommend the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (technical base layer) wicks away moisture from the body to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (t-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and wicks away moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.

Adjust the number of layers to the level of your physical effort and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.

Why is it important to wear breathable clothing for cross-country skiing?

To avoid getting wet, wear breathable clothing that eliminates water vapour generated by perspiration.
We measure its evaporative resistance = RET
RET <6: extremely breathable, ideal for the most intense physical effort
RET between 6 & 12: very breathable, suitable for moderate physical effort
RET between 12 & 20: moderately breathable, not particularly pleasant during physical effort
RET >20: not very breathable and therefore not very suitable during physical effort
RET >40: not breathable
