Under Armour Heatgear - great for skiing...

I'm just back from my annual skiing holiday. This year we went to the Dolomites in Italy and stayed in a charming small town called Arabba with a fantastic access to a vast ski area including the famous Stella Ronda.

I didn't need to buy that much performance gear as over the years I have accummulated a perfect bag ful of base layers and other ski gear that serve me well. However, there was one surprise in my kit bag! I had by mistake taken some Under Armour Heatgear with me - you know the stuff that you wear when it's hot and you want to keep cool. Anyway, I had to put it on the last day of skiing, and to my absolute surprise it was the best base layer I could have wished for. We skied hard that day, the last day of our holiday! Normally, I would have been so hot, but the Heatgear kept me cool and confortable the whole day.

From now on, I am going to pack a few of those in my kitbag to go with all the other useful stuff like socks, gloves, neck warmers, hankies, suntan lotion, camera, sunglasses, goggles etc.
