I/O Bio Merino Pilot Suit

This lightweight one-piece is an all-inclusive, next-to-skin baselayer with a hood, thumb loops, and a drawstring at the waist. But the magic lies in the crotch.
Believe it or not, skiers are wearing one-piece suits again…without irony. So it makes sense that baselayers are returning to the union-suit days of old too. Take the I/O Bio Merino Pilot Suit, for example. This lightweight one-piece is an all-inclusive, next-to-skin baselayer with a hood, thumb loops, and a drawstring at the waist. But the magic lies in the crotch. The zipper there starts just below the waist and continues all the way down and around to the seat of the suit, replacing the dated button-up trapdoor on the rear of other union suits. Plus, it’s made of 96 percent Merino wool and four percent stretchy elastene, which means it won’t get funky on a multi-day hut trip. But best of all, the one-piece design means zero snow all up in your junk on deep days. [$150; io-bio.com] —Scott Gornall
