Cross Country Accessories

Cross-country skiing is a fascinating winter sport that combines endurance, skill and nature. To get the most out of your cross-country skiing experience, you not only need the right cross-country skis and poles, but also the right cross-country skiing accessories. These will help you to improve your performance and make your day on the cross-country trail even more enjoyable. At Sport Conrad, you will find everything you require in terms of high-quality cross-country skiing accessories that are suitable for both beginners and experienced cross-country skiers.

Below we give you an overview of important accessories that should not be missing when cross-country skiing in addition to cross-country skiing equipment such as cross-country skis, nordic ski boots and cross country apparel.

What equipment you need for cross-country skiing

When cross-country skiing, it's not just the right technique and physical fitness that are crucial, but also the equipment. In addition to skis and poles, there is a wide range of material and equipment that will help you to ski more efficiently and comfortably on cross-country skis along the trail. Cross-country skiing accessories include:

Reach the summit with the right climbing skins

Climbing skins are an indispensable accessory for cross-country skiers who are also travelling on the mountain. Climbing skins are attached under the skis and offer efficient climbing performance and gliding ability.

They are available in different versions. Some models are already integrated into the climbing zone, while others are attached afterwards. There are skins made from different materials, such as mohair or synthetics, which work and grip differently depending on the snow conditions and temperature.

Ski bags & pole bags for optimum transport

If you want to transport your cross-country skis safely and comfortably, a ski bag or pole bag is a must. Ski bags offer enough space for your cross-country skis and protect the skis and bindings from scratches and damage during transport. Some models even have additional compartments for poles.

Pole bags are specially designed for transporting cross-country ski poles. They protect the sensitive tips and prevent the poles from being bent or damaged during transport. They are particularly practical if you are travelling by train or car and want to store your equipment compactly and safely.

Stay hydrated with drinking belts & hydration systemsn

You lose a lot of fluid during cross-country skiing due to the intense exercise. To prevent dehydration, you should always have enough water or isotonic drinks with you. Drinking belts and hydration systems are the perfect aid.

A hydration belt offers space for small bottles or a hydration bladder and can be worn comfortably around the hips when cross-country skiing without restricting your glide on the trails. They are particularly indispensable for longer ski tours or intensive ski units to keep your performance at a consistently high level.

Cross-country skiing goggles for optimum protection and good vision

Cross-country skiing exposes you to the elements: Snow, wind and strong sunlight are often constant companions. Good sports goggles for cross-country skiing protect your eyes from these influences. Special cross-country skiing goggles not only offer you protection from UV rays, but also from glare from the snow. They also prevent snow or ice crystals from getting into your eyes.

Many goggles have interchangeable lenses so that you can adjust the tint depending on the weather conditions. Polarised lenses help you to reduce reflections on the snow cover, while contrast-enhancing lenses improve visibility in poor conditions.

Pulse & Sports Watches for tracking your tours

Pulse & sports watches are an important companion for ambitious cross-country skiers who want to optimise their performance. These watches allow you to monitor your heart rate, speed, distance travelled and many other parameters. Some models even have GPS, which you can use to accurately record your route. Thanks to the data analysis, you can track your progress precisely and adapt your skiing units to your body.

Headlamps for activities at dark times of day

Cross-country skiing in the dark or at dusk requires good lighting. With a headlamp, you always have your hands free and can optimally illuminate your surroundings. Especially in bad weather, in the dark or on remote routes, a headlamp ensures greater safety by making you and your path clearly visible.
