No? I would like to correct you there. Replace nothing with everything, and I reckon you are about right!!!!

Hmmmmm, as this is a skiers (and snowboarders') site, the term "stoke" usually means a decent image of someone really good ripping down an impossibly steep line in waist deep pow 8)

It's okay Sm4sh,

Don't pay them any attention. They're just jealous because they don't live in Stoke :D

lol they named a image of decent ski/snowboarder after stoke. so it cant b that bad.
And if stoke is so bad...... Why did you come to uni here? :lol:

oooo it was tino. ah well

My new ski trousers I bought from D2B in their sale turned up today, and I'm really cross. My old ones were 'Animal' size 12 and I'm a bit fat for them at the moment, so I ordered some more from D2B in their sale, size 14. And I've just tried them on, and they're exactly the same size as my old size 12 ones!

And what's more, I've always worn cotton leggings underneath, because nylon etc. makes me itch, but after listening to everyone going on about how bad cotton is as a base layer, I thought I'd better get some proper thermal leggings from D2B and I only had them on for about 2 minutes and now I'm all itchy!

So, tomorrow I will have to work out how to return my shopping. Honestly, what a waste of time :evil:

My advice? Buy second hand. I recently bought a Gore-Tex XCR Eider ski jacket for £60 from ebay. I'll be looking in to salopettes too, since I managed to slice the ankle of my trespass ones to pieces with my ski edges (yes, yes, I know my stance was too narrow). My experience with the cheaper makes has been anything but favourable, but then again I think I get warmer than most when I'm skiing so it's breath-ability rather than insulation that's the big factor for me.

I did manage to grab a bargain in TK Maxx the first time I went there though, obliviously picking up a Killy shell for £70, not really knowing they were such a decent make. It's definitely possible to strike gold there, but not a common occurrence I would say.
