It's a snood. Essential as well - not just for girls.

what does that mean unless renting? You wouldnt need a jacket or sallopettes if you are renting? we are renting ours from our local ski sports shops and I would still expect the same standards from the equipment regardless of whether I was buying or renting it.

it might be that breathable fabrics are around the most fragile known to man and don't stand up well to weekly renting?

Since Morillon 2004 when tempetures were as low as -23 I brought a "Buff" and always wear it on cold days infact I never go on a winter hoiliday without it, now what time is my poodle parlour appointment ??? :wink: :wink: :wink:

"buffs" are pretty much uniform in outdoor circles along with altimeter watches and nalgene water bottles, I lack the individuality not to have them :D

depends on the set you're running with :D it's just something Mrs Ise finds funny, we were out with some people I know in the summer and she was giggling with one of their wife's about us all having the same gear and brand names, obviously trade prices account for some of that :D

Or Monkey see, Monkey do?.............


JOKE!!!!!!!!!!

I was making a list of things to pack into your suitcase! :) Hence the unless renting part.
