Ski wear

Following on from the thread on first time ski holidays on a budget, I
was flicking through Guardian travel articles and found this:

http://travel.guardian.co.uk/article...nadvice.skiing

It's not a terribly good piece, but it did tell me something I didn't
know - namely that TopShop and Asda now do ski wear.

Personally, I'm going for the fur-lined Prada all-in-one for this
season. That *definitely* won't get me beaten up in Jack's club...

Saw this Tchibo stuff in my local supermarket yesterday - looks good for
the very budget conscious but would advise caution (Looked at Aldi stuff
a couple or years ago and it was very basic) but Tschibo products are
well priced and designed - well so far the ones I have invested in are.

Yeah... Lidl and Aldi in the UK are both doing stuff at the moment. In fact
Lidl have ski helmets for £6.99 which look good and fully featured. Even the
cheapest Decathlon one for kids is around £15. Aldi have googles and glasses
for under a tenner. Some of the ski wear clothes look a bit less good
quality but on a budget is probably worth a look.

At Deca this years 'Produit Bleu' gloves are the type with the hole to blow
into to keep your hands warm... all for £4.95 !

All the best,

Edi

I wore some Thcibo stuff last season actually Really good value and
managed to keep warm and dry. Plus for all of those non existant times
I go off piste it has Recco avalanche protector!
So good that I'm bringing it along this year as an "evening" not too
bulky jacket.

It may be basic, but it works.

The first time I wore the stuff I bought in Aldi was for a ski holiday
in Banff & jasper - with temperatures down to -29C, and I was never
cold.
