ErgoRacing Baselayer: Built for Ski Racers
A race suit only performs as well as what's underneath it. Bunched fabric, seams in the wrong place, or muscles vibrating with every impact through a run — any of those cost hundredths of a second, and racing is a sport measured in hundredths.
The ErgoRacing Baselayer was built for exactly that constraint: close enough to disappear under a race suit, while doing real work on muscle vibration and thermoregulation over a full run.
Built to win, not just to warm
ACCAPI is an Official Supplier of the German National Alpine, Ski Cross, and Freeski Teams (DSV). That's not a marketing badge — it means the baselayer has to hold up to the actual demands of race-day preparation, repeated runs, and gear checks under time pressure.
ErgoRacing's edge comes from AEC compression technology — ten different compression textures across the arms, legs, and back that reduce muscle vibration during impact and delay fatigue over a run. Warmth comes separately, from a dual-layer construction: a U-Dry wicking layer against the skin paired with a thermal outer layer. EQT is also built in for balance and stability through technical terrain.
Fit under a race suit
This is where ErgoRacing differs from the Polar Bear Baselayer. Polar Bear prioritizes hollow-fiber warmth-to-bulk ratio for a full day on the mountain. ErgoRacing prioritizes compression fit and muscle support first, with warmth handled by its dual-layer build around that constraint — because a race suit has zero room for extra fabric.

FAQ
What makes ErgoRacing different from a standard baselayer?
AEC compression — ten compression textures across the arms, legs, and back that reduce muscle vibration and delay fatigue, plus a dual-layer construction for warmth rather than hollow-fiber insulation.
Is it actually used by racers, or is that just branding?
ACCAPI is an Official Supplier to the DSV German National Alpine, Ski Cross, and Freeski Teams. The ErgoRacing line is built to that standard.
Does ErgoRacing use infrared fiber like ACCAPI's recovery products?
No — ErgoRacing's technology is AEC compression, dual-layer construction, and EQT for balance. ACCAPI's FIR infrared fiber is used in separate recovery-focused products like PRO Recovery Baselayer and infrared ski socks.
