I have been thinking of new luggage but 4 or 5 Kg just for a bag on wheels seems ridiculous. That is 25% of my airline weight allowance just for the bag and it is 33% for some budget airlines!

Just paid £25 for a brand new Mountain Equipment Gore Tex Pro-Shell jacket with very slight discoloration on the hood (probably my all-time best bargain) and £10 for a perfect-condition Ronhill Gore Windstopper soft shell. Both were bought as presents as they didn't have equivalents in my size.

You know it makes sense.

Sideshow_Bob, spill the beans as to where from???

kitenski, not online unfortunately, but from a Mountain Range stall at a rowing regatta. I think they've taken over from Magic Mountain as a Sprayway/Ronhill/ME outlet, and they have an ebay stall here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/mountain-range-uk?_rdc=1 - already scanned for similar bargains and there isn't anything quite as good, but they do have a selection of unblemished ME Pro Shells between £100 and £200 and lots and lots of cheap Ronhill kit.

Sideshow_Bob, if you are ever at another regatta and see a similiar goretex jacket for £25 in L grab one for me would you!! I want it for hockey training, so don't want to spend the earth but need waterproof and breathable....
Or it'd be a nice Xmas present for me

kitenski, I'll be buying them for myself if I did They did have some lightweight Ronhill running jackets that could be suitable for hockey/football training in the rain.

Hells Bells, good spot! Have you (or anyone else) got any leggings? I want to know about the sizing. Are they on the larger or smaller side? I don't know whether to get small or medium  .

Hells Bells, Cotswold outdoor is where I got my new goretex jacket for walking in, in the store in Keswick on Monday I took a navy coloured women's Berghaus long length Glissade style jacket off them for £99, which from what I've seen on the internet seems a good price.

After a cursory look, it appears to me, no-one who has posted anything above stands to gain commercially from doing so.
Any opinions either way? |
Depends what exactly do you mean by commercial gain?
In an case, seeing as people can sign up as members instantly, and post staight away, the whole thread seems ripe for abuse.

So what exactly constitues spam on this forum.
Based on previous experience its not money.
Or if you profit by it. -Nope
Maybe its ok if you just genuinely want to offer a great opportunity to fellow skier out of your altruistic nature- errr Nope.
Im having real difficulty with this
Maybe its just arbitrary and depends on who is feeling trigger happy on the day.

If it's in SnowHeads' interest (which obviously a genuine bargain is) does it really matter if one thread has comercial posts in it?

nixmap, I must admit I looked at that one and wondered, and then I looked at it from clarky999's, perspective and decided not to say anything.

whatever way you look at it, that holiday is a pretty good deal for one snowhead or another!
maybe it should just be a bargain gear thread?
so far, this thread has saved me £300 - can only be a good thing

I would get small if I were you. I think I have medium ones, but they are the capri length.

Asboabski, has no commercial interest in the company offering the bargain, he is entitled to post what he wants. It was a genuine offer he was willing to share with us, that he received by email.

scotia, One of the most intelligent ads I've seen for a long time - if only all ads said the equivalent of 'model is 5'10" and is wearing a size small' life would be much easier.

Megamum, you're shopping in the wrong places if it the ads don't. Some places even give measurements!
|
|
|
|

scotia, The trouble with measurements is you are often just pointed at a measurements page for the whole clothing company and told size x is measurements A,B,C etc. This then doesn't account for the fact that most companies will be sourcing their clothing ranges from a range of suppliers all cutting on different patterns and lasts. For example I picked up two pair of identically styled and sized walking trousers the other week, tried on one pair - good fit, went back to rail for 2nd pair and had to have different colour in same style and size and no others left. I went to put on other pair once at home and I swear it must have been 3 ladies sizes smaller than those I'd tried on (they went back of course). I've done the same buying high leg boots on-line, and often had problems with sizes in this way - I'm now very wary of buying stuff that I haven't tried on first as I would be forever sending back stuff. It is quite possible to measure yourself, buy what you would think fits and to then come unstuck. In fact I think the ads for clothes on the TV are better, they often tell you how big the models are, what size they are wearing and you can also see how the clothes move and where they fall from on the body much easier - mind you I still tend to shop in stores and try stuff on
