Ski Clothing Advice Thread
Started by User in Beginning Skiing, 17 Replies
Hi all,

This was going to be an apres-ski clothing thread but really the advice Im after is regarding all ski wear, what is needed, and what features each item should have.

Ive managed to pick a nice matching jacket + salopettes (quicksilver) that has most of the ski-features i think needed such as wrist straps, ski-skirt, good pockets etc

Then what about....

Gloves: long wrist part, wrist strap, durable palm, reinforced finger tips?

Goggles: no idea.

Then also, what do you wear in the evening? Hiking boots I guess, but what about trousers? A second pair of salopettes or what do you wear to stay warm? I presume a 2nd jacket is a good idea, which doesnt need to have ski-features.

I think I have covered some of this breifly in my other thread, but any advice on items of clothing to consider purchasing (eg thermal jumpers, tshirts, trousers, SOCKS!!!) would be appreciated, and like Ive said what features to look out for in these things.

Thanks,

Sami

hi folks

so ive found my holiday and thought id let you all know what i decided...

im going to la tania with rustyinn (aka dave)

i found his offer too good to resist. ski in/out, catered chalet.

they have added a green run back to la tania which passes right by the chalet:

ive gone over budget regarding the overall price (by some bit) but i think it will definately be worth it.

i am now looking into insurance, and wondering if anyone has advice on where to get it from (im sure there are plenty threads on it so il have to do a bit of digging).
