Mons Royale Ascender Merino Base Layer Mock Neck — Women's Ski/Snowboard

The Ascender is built for skiers and riders who want serious warmth without bulk under a shell — whether that's a storm day at Big White, an uphill mission at SilverStar, or just staying warm at the base area après. The merino-Tencel blend and mock neck combination make it one of the warmest options in Mons Royale's lineup, and the slim, seamless fit means it layers cleanly under a jacket or mid-layer. Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right size and fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to talk gear and activity with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Q: How does Mons Royale sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down (and does it accommodate a base/mid-layer)?
The Ascender has a slim, close-to-skin fit designed to be worn as your first layer, not over another top. Mons Royale generally runs true to size — our team can help you confirm sizing in-store based on how you plan to layer over it.

Q: Is this base layer warm enough for Okanagan ski days at Big White or SilverStar?
Yes — the Ascender sits at the warmest end of Mons Royale's baselayer lineup, with a mock neck for added warmth at the collar, making it well suited to cold, dry Okanagan resort days and uphill missions alike.

Q: How do I care for the merino fabric to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a wool-safe detergent, skip fabric softener and bleach, and lay flat or hang to dry rather than using a dryer to keep the merino fibres in good condition.
