What are your experiences? Which mid-priced brand would last longer?

MMMMMmmm Never worn out gloves carrying skis :shock:
I would suggest that you carry your skis with care :D

Go into your local ski shop and try some on, find a type you like and then search the internet 8)

So it's a legality to have a breathalyser in the car so how come the rental company are happy to send you out illegally?

I will be crossing the col du lautaret mid march and its well known for being snowbound so I'm wondering about getting some chains on the way.

Also, its now law to have hi vis vests for each passenger and a breathalyser kit, so do the rental companies provide all this?

They do supply the Hi vis vests, but not the Breathalyser kit, but again I hire in Switzerland, Give the hire company a ring to confirm
