Not me! Lol

Have you heard the saying 'All the Gear no idea' ?

Well some people (often those who have more money than sense) spend loads kitting themselves out for their first skiing holiday only to find that they hate it. :shock:

They don't go again so they sell their gear! Yay for ebay :thumbup:

Friend of mine ........ :D
Looks absolutely the dogs b******* as he walks to the lift.
Swanky top of the range gear, designer glasses etc etc
Oh and a helmet with one of those chin guard things :roll:
He really should stay there!!
Reminds me of a conversation I overheard at a ski show between a lady admiring a very swanky ski suit and the sales person.
"It's a lovely ski suit, but you wouldn't want to ski in it, more for walking around town really"
:thumbup:

What's particular about the jacket your after? I'll keep a look out.

It has to be red, plain, and not insulated.
Something like a Haglofs Spitx would be perfect, but I'm not paying those prices.
Last season, I had the chance for the perfect jacket, a North Face paclite jacket which was bright red with darker red in places, absolutely spot on, and it was half price in Ellis Brigham at £125.
And like a dick I left it on the shelf.
That would be the perfect one. I think it may have been called the Prophecy, but when I google it I only get this seasons which I dont like.

I'd possibly go as much £125 .... but I think the most I have ever paid was a Nevica two piece which cost £180 back in 1992.
I have just brought a Surfanic Jacket a couple of months back reduced to £48 a bargain including pp, a little on the large size but something to grow into. :lol:

Tony I wish I'd known you were looking out for Haglof's Spitz, I saw some at half price. There are some other offers on Haglof's here (same site). It's a free to join site called Sport Pursuit:

I've found them to be pretty keen on their pricing and they've had have some tasty kit over this year.

I bought myself a new ski jacket in Millets, reduced from about £80 to £24. The only problem is that it's so warm and comfy I've started wearing it when I go out already!

MILLETS? I thought they went under years ago.
