You may not have thought thermals could get any more hi tec, but you'd be wrong!
Falke's new skiing underwear is the ultimate high performance 'onesy' weighing in at a cool £310 and described as a 'limited edition product.'
Officially named 'Skiing Underwear Falke Air Insulation' the product was "Gold Winner" in the 'Base Layer Ski' product category at the leading international trade show ISPO 2014.
So what's so good about them? Firstly the company's 'Skiing Air Insulation' is produced through a special knitting process which has no seams and creates open ventilation spots. These zones grow larger with movement and thus enable optimal temperature control and moisture management.
Then the polyamide fibre with embedded crystals converts the heat of the body into infrared rays and ensures optimal moisture management, even during the passive phases.
Next those crystals improve the blood circulation and shorten the muscle's regeneration period, which increases the body's performance the company says.
In addition rubbing points are reduced to a minimum because the underwear is processed with adhesive technology and there are therefore no irritating seams.
Finally the outfit, made up of two products, allows for 18 individual variations. The shirt with face mask and gloves can be customised by the sportsman just as easily as the stirrup trousers.
Thanks to the knitting technique, the long trousers can be turned into ¾ lengths for example, using scissors but without the threads becoming detached.
The result is that the most demanding skier feels exceptionally at ease in his clothes.
