2010 Season Kit Lust Begins.....

I got a lovely new pair of Salomon Impact 8's last year so I wont be looking for new ones for a while yet. I knew I needed new ones when my old boots suddenly felt like wellies and I was able to move my foot without the boot turning instantly. The lining felt like cardboard as oppose to foam. I love my new boots too. Mrs H also had some nice shiny new Salomon RS8 Divines for much the same reasons, so luckily we are all booted up for this season and more hopefully.
I have a new pair of RED sallopettes, Nike ACG no less, and a smart black Bailo jacket, but I really want some red Adidas goggles and thats me done. Mrs H is suggesting she wants a new jacket, as her green Bonfire jacket has done ALL of 2 seasons now. Brown, seemingly. Mwuaah.

I really can not justify too much for next season, but I really need to invest in the best gloves I can get. Had new ones last year, mittens with detachable fleece linings but even they were not warm enough. I was fine skiing but it was when we did excursions etc my hands froze.

I'm not spending too much if anything on equipment this year.....unless the mood takes me 8)

My girlfriend found it most amusing me sitting in them the last two evenings to "break them in". Getting up and down the stairs is interesting feels like I'm doing an impression of Frankenstein's monster

Perhaps you could offer to do the ironing in them )

Are you going to give them a try out on indoor snow soon?

No wearing them hasn't suddenly given me an urge to do the ironing :P

Worn them for 10 hours so far, mostly just sitting though rather than actually walking around in them. As someone who doesn't even like to wear slipper indoors, ski boots are a bit hot and sweaty and uncomfortable indoors heh.

Yup I'll be giving them a go at Hemel for a full 8 hour day on 3rd Sept, going to a coaching day then. And a 4 hours snowheads Hemel bash on the 12th

Got some pressure points atm how long do you need to give a new pair of boots to see if the liner is going to adjust to your foot rather than them needing to be altered.
