International clothing line Patra Silk recently announced its autumn/winter line which is highlighted with “silk ski socks, long johns and silk glove liners for men, women and children.” Patra managing director Rita Patra said of the new line “skiers and snowboarders often come to us for their base layer clothing because silk is such a great fabric for skiing. The properties of silk make it very warm while wicking away sweat, and it’s very fine so is ideal under other layers.” All of Patra silks are individually designed and created “with comfort and affordability in mind.”
Base layer clothing is designed to keep skiers warm as well as prevent sores from boots rubbing against skiers and boarders feet.
