In Morzine last week it was like a bloody fashion show!!

If you can look good and feel comfortable for £50, why pay £500? They would say "Because I can", to which I would respond "Spend it on lessons my friends, and improve your technique"

I'm sure half of them leave the price tag on. :)

I don't usually buy expensive ski stuff.

My ski trousers and ski jacket cost only £25 each from Mountain Warehouse (on sale mind you - reduced from about £75 each). And they kept me nice and warm in Tignes when it was -30C with wind chill in the middle of January (when CatP got frostbite), and dry a week ago when it was raining on the lower ski slopes and other people were soaked.

I was ski-ing with some friends who were wearing Spyder gear, but I didn't actually notice until we were back in the chalet and I wondered why there was a spider emblazoned on their jackets! I am very unobservant so anyone trying to impress me by wearing fancy gear is totally wasting their time!

I don't care what anyone wears. It's up to them. I've got some Dare2b ski trousers, which my daughter wears now, and they're pretty good quality - lasted for years now :)

dare 2 be was very popular on the slopes last week.

i skied with a chap all week he wore, no word of a lie, spyder bob hat, coat, sallopettes, base layers and gloves! he says he'd believed that if you buy expensive you only buy once. his gloves has holes in the usual places and coat was wearing thin....

wearing brands are important for some people, suppose it all depends what you want?
