While it is essential to keep the elements out when skiing or snowboarding. It is equally important for moisture from perspiration to escape continuously. That is what the term breathability means when it is referred to in relation to Ski Clothes. Snow sports are high energy sports and if your clothing doesn't allow perspiration to escape your base layer of clothing can become damp quickly. You often will not notice this while you are actually skiing or boarding. It is when you stop or are riding ski lifts that you will get cold due to having damp clothes. Breathability is measured the same as waterproofing, in mm; where entry level items of ski and snowboard clothing will have a rating of 3,000mm to 5,000mm whilst the top of the range will have around 20,000mm.
