Looking for a base layer for my son's ski suit. He's a pro snowboarder, so it needs to wick away moi…

Merino wool is the best, but it's pricey!

From the budget-friendly options, we tried and liked Termit and Glissade (though not everything from Glissade). From the pricier ones, Norveg.

Keri Yeah, everything ends up being so pricey for us 😄 I already bought a snowboard and now I'm looking for boots and bindings, which are more expensive than the boots! You'd think it's just a couple of pieces of plastic, but they cost 8-10k rubles! What brands are best to look at?

Katerina Did you even notice the difference?

Keri There are so many brands now!
Janus used to be good, but I don't know about now. Just search for "merino wool" in the ingredients and check the reviews.

Katerina Not by their own standards, but they're always hot at my place, even if they're dressed lightly.

Last year, we got this budget-friendly one. It was fine

Janus, I always take it.

I bought my son one from Ozon [5514227947] when he went skiing with his husband. It keeps him warm well and doesn't pinch anywhere.

Texas firm and we'll take it too

We bought ours at Sportmaster, I don't know the brand, you'll have to check, but we've always been happy with them.
