I got a set of Sealskinz gloves for chrimbo and cant wait to try them out.
Have tried the waterproof/breathable socks for hiking they are fab and keep your feet bone dry no matter what you walk through, also have a bobble hat that is really waterproof and breathable.
Its really good kit

Done
Prices matched yours so maybe i was spoilt in italy last year
tho if the pound keeps falling against the euro at least it will be easier to work out lol
Just came back from a week in Saalbach had a great time.
Good points
Had three days of lessons (a first) and got shown where the great runs were.
Did my first black with moguls so well chuffed.
Great apres ski Spitz bar my favourite.
Great lift system loads of new lifts.
Loads of long runs and no q's
A 7k blue that we were the first people to ski down one morning after 3" of fresh snow what a feeling
Great mountain food for lunches.
Bad points
Snow was quite porridgey in the afternoons as was quite warm tho this improved for the last 4 days as we had snow.
Cost of food and drink was quite high. 3.50 for small bottle of beer 4.50 f0r a hot choc between 10 -14 for lunch 8.50for a bacardi and coke,after the prices in italy it was quite an increase glad we were half board tho
Cost of ski equipment was really expensive so dont buy it there.
Our hotel club Reigler was a bit dated but the food was good and plenty of it.
Involved a walk to the main lift(schattberg express) but for 15 euros we left our boots and ski's in the depot and just picked them up each morning.

all in all a good choice i'd recommend :)
you may well get the jackets tho, did they send you a tracking no ?
the quality wont be half as good as an original.But you may get a usable jacket.I got a spyder jacket from china(stupid i know)but it is waterproof windproof and warm I removed the spyder tags and still wear it on cold days. You get what you pay for.
