I think womens clothes is the way forward!!

Going to Preston TK tomorrow so hopefully I will find something I like.

I bought a Dare 2 Be jacket a few weeks ago in the Middlesbrough store (not great on the organisation front) for £39.99 (RRP £120).
It’s a bit bright, but surprisingly looks better on than on the hanger, and the specs seemed pretty good (waterproof and breathable to 10,000mm)

My Columbia jacket (also from TK Maxx last year) has been relegated to the stables as the zip is dodgy, so it was this or head to a ski shop (which I was trying to avoid)…
The Cross salopettes I bought last year will hopefully do me for a few more years yet

The Teesside Park store had a lot of choice when I was last in, but mostly Tresspass, none of which I particularly liked.

Also ordered a few pairs of socks and a set of Helly Hansen merino wool thermals on line so with the new jacket, hopefully won’t freeze too much this year

I have to say that some of the D2Be stuff this season is a massive step forward in terms of not looking like a complete dork, unlike the Trespass jackets which still fit like a sack of potatoes.
If you want jackets on a budget, the D2Be stuff is about as nice as you can get IMO.
Mind you, if you are prepared to pay £40 for a ski jacket, you might be better off paying £10 to £20 more and getting a much nicer brand and style.
The Cross range is particularly nice, I like their stuff a lot.

LIDL in Ireland get their ski gear in on Thursday - limited range but can be handy for stuff like socks, also looks like the sunglasses are a real bargain.

I'm pretty limited on what I can buy this season, but I did spring for some new googles at T J Max. $29 was a good deal for these

lots of Syder gear at T J Max this year most ski jackets were $150 and ski pants $100.

I might have to email you a shopping list, and get you to take a day out at the "mall" for me

The store in Southampton has a nice selection of stuff.
