This bottom is for skiers and snowboarders who want one dependable base layer for most of the Okanagan ski season. It suits resort days at Big White and SilverStar, long days of ski instructing or working on the hill, and riders who find other base layers too hot or itchy. It's warm enough for cold mornings but breathable enough for big days of hard skiing. The slim, full-length cut sits comfortably under shell or insulated ski pants. Le Bent's size chart lists waist, hip, and inseam for each size, and the brand's model wears a Medium with a 78cm (31") waist.

Q1: How does Le Bent sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down (and does it accommodate a base/mid-layer)?
The Midweight Bottom has a slim fit with 4-way stretch. It's designed to sit close to the skin so it can wick moisture and regulate temperature properly. Choose your size from Le Bent's chart using your waist and hip measurements rather than sizing up. It's your base layer, so ski pants go over it. For reference, Le Bent's model wears a Medium with a 78cm (31") waist. Our staff can help you find the right size in-store.

Q2: Is this base layer warm enough for skiing at Big White or SilverStar in typical Okanagan winter conditions?
Yes. Le Bent rates its midweight fabric for cold to extreme conditions, and the 260gm merino-bamboo blend balances warmth with breathability. That makes it a strong all-season choice for resort skiing and riding. It's a base layer, so it isn't waterproof. Pair it with waterproof shell or insulated ski pants for storm days. Our staff can suggest how to add warmth for the coldest days on the hill.

Q3: How do I care for Le Bent's Signature Merino Blend to keep it warm and breathable?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Don't tumble dry, bleach, or dry clean it. Air drying protects the merino and bamboo fibres and helps the bottom keep its shape and stretch. The merino content resists odour, so you can usually get several ski days between washes.
