The material is so smooth and stretchy that I couldn’t resist bringing it along—not just for freeriding this week, but also for a session at the climbing gym. Pulling it on feels incredibly cozy, a feeling only amplified by the chorus of compliments from family members echoing through the apartment. While it might be a bit too warm as a base layer for long ski tours, it's absolutely perfect for freezing days, snowman-& -women building adventures, or worn as a light mid-layer with undeniable “stylo” appeal.

Both the Rose Half Zip Shirt and the Rose High Waist Pants feature elastic inserts under the arms and along the sides of the thighs, giving them an impressively flexible, free-moving feel. I especially love the high collar on the shirt—it adds extra warmth when zipped up, but can be opened easily with the half-zip when things heat up a bit. And as someone who’s pretty picky about how pants feel around the waist, the Rose High Waist gets a big thumbs-up from me: it keeps everything comfortably warm without any squeezing or pressure.
Summarizing, it is no exaggeration on the website of Kari Traa when calling this base layer "an icon of the Scandinavian winter" and a "wardrobe favorite".

Ever since I was a child, the mountains have been more than just a backdrop to me—they’re my playground and my teacher. Having grown up in the Alpine foothills, my great passion for skiing has since led me to Innsbruck. As a cosmopolitan explorer, I love spending time outdoors, always on the lookout for new insights and creative projects related to mountain sports.
