Giveaway: Kombi Base Layer
43
March 15th, 2010Giveaways, Snowboarding
OK, I’ll come right out and say it; I’m a wimp when it comes to cold weather. A pretty big wimp (no judgments, please?) which is why I love base layers! Having a good, warm jacket of course helps keep you warm on the chilly hill, but having the right base layers is essential. I’ve always been a slave to fleece base layers. Every couple of years, I buy a new Northface top layer and Patagonia fleece pants (sometimes I even wear two pairs!) Until recently. A couple of weeks ago, Kombi Sports sent me a new base layer to try, the Proline 180 Midweight 1/4 zip pullover. I wore it to the mountain, and much to my surprise, I liked it nearly as much, if not better, than my fleece base layers! It kept me warm the entire day, and it was very comfy and soft. The proline 180 midweight pullover is made using accu dri technology, which means it is “moisture-wicking, odor-fighting, and quick-drying.” Translation – it keeps you warm, dry and clean smelling (very important!) all day long. Kombi Sports also makes gloves, mittens and headwear, in addition to base layers (and they do carry microfleece, btw).Win It! Kombi has been awesome enough to give us an extra base layer to give away to one of our readers! To win, leave a comment below telling us how YOU like to stay warm and dry on the mountain, and you could win a Kombi pullover of your very own. We’ll pick one random commenter via random.org to win. The giveaway will close Monday night, March 22 at midnight.
UPDATE: Congratulations to Natalie, commenter #1; you won! Thanks everyone for enterting, and stay tunes for more fun giveaways!

I stay warm with about 12 layers of long sleeves since I don’t have anything this awesome. Beanie under the helmet helps toooo

Lola
I have been a victim of North Face commercialization! I wear their fleece every time and the only variation is the thermal shirts piled underneath.

I stay in the cabin with a hot cocoa but my sister gets out there first thing int he morning and stays out all day. What a trooper! I would love to give this to her as a gift!

Can Canadians win? It’s cold up here! (Ok, not really…except on the mountain)
I (try to) stay warm with layers on layers – long underwear, fleece, down jacket & especially my down mittens. Love them!

I’ve taken to wearing tights under my clothes when I go tubing or skiing, really keeps my lower half warm – always a turtleneck & scarf under my coat.
-
Definitely lots of layers!
-
Megan
Would love this! I usually wear long-sleeve layering tees (or tissue tees) under fleece. The tissue tees are great because they are super soft and thin so you can still move around even with layers on. This base layer looks much more efficient!
-
Anja
I have to wear a lot of layers to stay warm. Hand warmers and two pairs of socks are a must.

Thanks everyone for the comments/suggestions so far; keep them coming! Martina – of COURSE Canadians can win! You’re right, Canada IS very cold!
-
Ashley
Lots of layers, hat and excellent gloves!
-
Julia
I like a really thick wool sweater to keep me warm in the ice. I’d love to get one of these base layers for my boyfriend, he works construction year round and something like this under his raingear would be great! Thanks.

wool socks do it every time. they itch me to death for a few minutes and then they get to work keeping me warm!

I stay dry and warm by wearing lots of layers (with a waterproof/windproof layer on the outside) so I can vary my coverage as needed.

My husband’s fiance has a condo in Breckenridge, CO so when we go up there, they always have their fancy equipment and I’m left cold! This would be perfect for me!
I usually stay dry by staying inside by the fire
-
I wear lots and lots of clothes, socks and then a really warm scarf and if it’s really cold I also like to wear a nice warm hat
And hot drinks are a must! -
Coming from a tropical country it’s never comfortable except in the summer.
Would love to try anything new to warm up in the winter, especially on the slopes. -

As a transplant to Chicago from New England, I’m a former skiier who still has an extreme need to stay warm and protected from the elements. I’m a big fan of hand warmers and nice wool socks, but I’d be so excited to get this pullover!

Marci
Layering is key. I don’t stay out for long either. I tend to go where there’s a warm fire and hot chocolate! But when I am out in the cold, this would be great to wear!
-
Courtney

I keep warm wearing a turtle fur hat, warm DAKINE socks. and a bazillion other layers. I’m a Tennessean who went to college in UT, then I moved to Maine, so.. I’m a little out of my element.. It’s soooo cold here.

I would stay warm by packing on tons of layers and looking like a marshmallow! Thanks so much I would love this this!
