Today this was fixed by blowing 65 quid on some full priced Spyder gloves...


...I'll get my coat.

I just been all the way into town to buy a nice new Quicksilver hat :D

Saw a really nice Columbia Titanium inner jacket, which for 150 EUR, I decided that I would pretend I was not going to buy it and go home. I give me until Thursday.

Tino....just the inner jacket for 150 Euros :?:

I use a Columbia jacket, it has an inner hardshell and a waterproof outer shell, same sort of system?

Well put it this way, I wouldnt wanna be on a Glacier in late December with it and nothing else. I resisted reading all the bumpf, I would have nothing to do tomorrow then )

I went to the Ski & Board show in Birmingham to 'Have a Look around' and ended up buying a pair of boots for the boy, bindings and a new Oakley hat, and a new jacket for the misses. Got home £300 later!!

Gloves, I've 1 pair of Salomon Board gloves (3 yrs old), get really soggy but always keep my hands warm and dry, and and old pair of Frank Thomas winter motorbike gloves (8 yrs old), warm, waterproof and as tough as old boots. Both pairs cost about £40 and I think were great value.

Yeeaaahh, but, you already have a whole Spyder outfit, which seems quite new. Are you sure about this...I mean, if you are bored, you could send the money to me, and I can spend it for you, well, for me, okay...on me :D

Hey Caron-a, what's on your mind ...

my prize jacket didn't arrive :cry: but Pavel is a gent and is trying to sort it as we speak

Large gauntlet, padded palms and some form of water-proofing. However, doesn't matter if you spend £1 million on a pair, if it's snowing enough, they'll get wet.
