Après-ski doesn't start at the bar. It starts when you get dressed in the morning.
You'll ski all day, queue for the lift and sit on a cold chairlift. Then you walk straight into the warmth. The same clothes have to handle it all. Here's our guide to the best après-ski clothes for 2027, meaning the 2026/27 season.
1. The T-shirt: the foundation of the whole outfit
The T-shirt is what you wear the longest. It sits closest to your body on the slopes and is often the only thing left on when it gets warm at the bar. That's why it should be thick, fit well and have something to say.
Our oversize T-shirts are made from 100% cotton at 240 gsm. A regular T-shirt often weighs around 150 gsm, so the fabric is about 60% thicker. It holds its shape, works as a base layer under your fleece and looks good on its own.
Our pick: Korvjävel
If you only buy one T-shirt this winter, make it Korvjävel. White, with "Ge mig en korvjävel" ("give me a damn hot dog") on the back. It's our Swedish classic among the German designs, and it says what everyone is thinking after the last run.
It's also a reminder of the most important après-ski rule: eat something. A hot dog between rounds makes the night longer, not shorter.
Want something else on your back? Together, our four designs tell the story of the whole day. Ein Schnapsidée is the idea. Konterbier is the consequence. Pistenglück is the reason we ski. And Korvjävel is the food afterwards.
2. The mid layer: fleece or hoodie
On top of the T-shirt you need a layer that keeps you warm on the lift and that you can take off when it gets warm inside.
Fleece Half-Zip is made from 330 gsm fleece. Standard fleece is 200–250 gsm. The fabric is water-repellent and absorbs at most 1% of its weight, so spilled beer runs off instead of soaking in. It's tested through more than 40 washes without pilling. The quarter-length zip makes it easy to regulate the heat. Available in Iconic Green and black.
Signature Heavy Hoodie is for those who get cold easily. It's made from 100% cotton at 460 gsm, while a regular hoodie is around 250 gsm. A size M weighs about 850 grams. The hood is big enough to fit over your ski helmet. We've tested it in Sälen and Bad Gastein, including at −10 °C.
On cold days, go for a T-shirt, a fleece or hoodie and a shell jacket on the outside. On sunny spring days a T-shirt and fleece is often enough.
3. The beanie: warm on the lift, visible at the bar
Helmet off, beanie on. The Extra Thick Beanie is double-layered and rib-knitted in GRS-certified recycled polyester. The crown is shaped, so it stays on all night. One size. Pick a colour that stands out, so your crew can find you at the bar.
4. Shoes: grip before everything
Ski boots on the dance floor is a classic. It's also the fastest way to slip on the stairs. Switch to a pair of waterproof boots with good grip before you head inside. It's not something we sell, but it might be the best advice in this guide.
5. Dress the whole crew
You travel together, so why not look like a team? In the crew kit everyone picks their own T-shirt, with their own design and their own size. The more of you there are, the more you save:
- 2 T-shirts: 5% off
- 3 T-shirts: 10% off and free shipping
- 4 T-shirts: 15% off and free shipping
- 5 T-shirts: 20% off and free shipping. Buy five, pay for four.
Want the whole outfit in one go? The Small Après-Ski Kit is a T-shirt and a beanie of your choice. The Big Après-Ski Kit is a T-shirt, fleece and beanie. With both, you pay less than buying the items separately.

FAQ
What do you wear to après-ski?
What you skied in, minus the shell jacket and helmet. A thick T-shirt, a fleece or hoodie and a beanie work both on the slopes and at the bar.
How do you dress for après-ski when it's cold?
In layers. T-shirt closest to your body, fleece or hoodie on top and a shell jacket on the outside. Take off one layer at a time when it gets warm inside.
Which T-shirt should I choose?
One that's thick enough to be a base layer and says something about you. Our favourite is Korvjävel.
Summary
