@ster, Gloves plus kids plus chairlift plus nose picking = lost gloves . . . guaranteed

Yup, had that at least once a trip. Our oldest is the worst for that. Never puts his leashes on. Pray they drop them near a kind liftie and not when over that bottomless ravine.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Well I have 1 snowboarder so no poles to worry about and the 11 year old skier is perfectly capable of getting down anything without poles so gloves for sure!

@PollSki, our children wear Forcefield, but that's because they fit them well. I think that fit is more important than make (though the children like them as they mold to their back). If a back protector is too big, they can damage the neck.
Sorry to be so vague, but I hope that helps!

@musher, that looks perfect and I like the price! I work near Lillywhites so I will have a look. Thanks.
@rachelharrisonsmith, sound advice. I'll make sure that whatever we end up buying fits well.

Well Chloe does have designs on my Hestra 3 finger mitts, good compromise between mitten warmth and glove dexterity |
Hestra jr. is it. And you can alway sell them on, even after 10 children used them!

Oh and just looked at the Aldi Ski Pro mitts I bought for my 11 year old, they have built in elasticated wrist loops.

@Gaza, Good for you and your children, we are beyoung that age by now, but our 19 year daughter uses a adult size of the same type now.
However they are made for real winterskiing - and for late spring skiing other kind could be better
Hands, head and feet are the places to keep warm for small children.

You know it makes sense.
|
Nothing wrong with the old fashioned method of sewing elastic on to gloves and feeding through coat. Still do this with 11 year old daughter. Might be different 2016/17 once she starts secondary though. . .

@CaurnieBred, Well on the Aldi pro mitts its just a loop of elastic stitched in, no more difficult to do than the up the sleeve elastic put probably much more acceptable to a tweenager

We've (kids roughly that age) skied silly temperatures in Norway that time of year and as others have said, layers is the key. A base layer (we had to do two only once), fleece and decent ski jacket is the key. Some swear by mittens for keeping hands warmer than gloves but we were fine. We also have Velcro neck warmers as they aren't so bulky as they just over the top bit that is most exposed.

jess10, welcome to Snowheads, but i think you (and bambionskiis) have missed that this thread dates back to December 2015.
davkt does still post, but hasn't been on the site since last month.
The best source of clothes for kids are other kids - you must know some families with older children: get their hand-me-downs and ask their advice.
Silly to buy kids stuff if you don't have to - they only last a year or two.
The secret to keeping kids warm is to make sure you make it all fun, have lots of drink stops, and chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

Hi guys,
I am living in Australia with my husband. I am 8 months pregnant and my due date is so near, so I want to ask you what type of clothes should I purchase for my baby and what precautionary measures should I take during picking garments?
