Secret Sale.com ski wear sale

Ally - always try on before you buy. If you are buying online, go into a shop that stocks the brand to see how their sizes come up.
Looks like you've got a bit of work to do on the fitness regime yet then if you can't get into a 14 )
Animal tend to come up large as well :shock:
As for base layers, I'd love to have Merino wool but my skin doesn't agree with it. I have to admit my thermal bottom layers are 50% cotton as thats nice and soft, and I wear breathable polyester base layers normally, something like Adidas Climacool.

Gooseh - the Killy stuff is fairly good, and I saw the shell jacket you were on about, so you've got yourself something smart there at a decent price. Result.

Salski what would you expect to happen if you posted your clothes sizing problems onto an internet forum, for the whole planet to pass judgement? :D

Salski,
It's okay, I don't really mind, but thank you for defending me :thumbup:

It's entirely my own fault for eating too much Christmas pud, chocolate, crisps, etc. etc. I can't pretend that anyone has been force feeding me :D

And Bandit, I'm just airing what I imagine is a pretty common problem - people having difficulty getting into their old ski wear. As far as I can see, there's only two solutions to the problem - buy bigger stuff or go on a diet. I'm particularly annoyed about the sizing problem. I mean clothes sizes should be the same whatever brand of clothes one buys. The bigger trousers were supposed to be an insurance policy in case I can't get comfortably into my old trousers before my holiday. I can actually put them on, and even bend, but I'd like a bit more free space in them. It would be terrible if they split while I was ski-ing :oops:

Tony,
I'm actually doing okay with the fitness regime, thanks, (I shall post something about it on the fitness thread), it's the fatness regime I'm having trouble with at the moment :D.
You're quite right about the way I should have checked out the size of D2B clothing. A size 14 is normally still too large for me (even at the moment!). My daughter's ski trousers are D2B and she said she could have told me they were a size smaller than they're supposed to be if I'd asked - so I was exceptionally stupid :oops:
I don't know what the D2B thermal base layer clothing is made of - I can't find it written anywhere, but it feels like some sort of polyester. I think I will go back to wearing my cotton T-shirts. At least I know I won't get itchy then.

Ally

Sm4sh,
As Tony said, the thing to do is to go into a shop and try on the different brands, to see how the different sizes fit on you. It is all very irritating. And sometimes it depends on the cut of the clothing, which is something you can't tell from looking at a photo on the internet. I suppose this is one of the major disadvantages of buying on the internet. I will now have to pay £3-50 to return the D2B trousers.

Ally

lol yh and then by the time you get the right size it prob cost the same price as it did in the shop. they should do free returns lol. what shops sell D2B?
