 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have just got my new Salomon Ski Jacket. Saved about £80 on it so I thought I should spend this on some new ski trousers/salopettes. Plus they don't look that great with my new jacket (so the wife says).
I am looking for decent waterproof and breathability. I guess about 10k/10k. I would prefer black (wife said so)  . If possible with braces attached or detachable.
Any recommendations and where to buy them from?
Mike.
p.s. Thanks as always.
p.p.s I could stretch to spend a few pounds more if needed.

Mike-H, I have recently seen decent ones in TK Maxx for less than half your budget, Helly Hansen and North face, plus all the usual budget stuff.

Mike-H, I have used Nevica ski trousers for two weeks away now. No real issues with them. 10k/10k spec. The only minor gripe would be that the braces rely on velcro for adjustment rather than buckles. The velcro does work well!

Mike-H, try Two Seasons on line maybe, they often have some good prices. Shame about TK, they had a fab pair of HH mens trews marked down with the yellow sticker to £22 today in one of my local branches.

Surfanic make excellent affordable gear IMO. They offer free returns anyway so nothing to lose.

igLou, I get the emails form Sport Pursuit but often find their deals are easily matched elsewhere.
Thanks for all the recommendations. I need them for the end of Feb ski weekend. 4 weeks, 5 days and a few hours until I am on that plane (tad excited) so I will get researching the sales.

Found a few pairs I like. I am a 34" waist in all clothes (jeans, suits etc.). Some shops say I need size M while others say I need size L.
What size ski pants do the fellas think I need to order?

I'm a 34 with 34 long legs. Unfortunately, nearly all manufacturers don't vary the length. The M/L/XL just alters the waist/volume. So I have an L which is just long enough. Would have preferred another couple of inches on them though. Assume you aren't particular hefty or made like a stick, I would expect an L. Pretty sure all my previous pants have been L aswell.

Layne, Turns out I am L too.
Went shopping at the weekend and tried on several pairs. Eventually decided on Salomon Brilliant Ski Pant at RRP £160ish. Ekosport with delivery and good exchange rate means I have paid about £90.
Note: Ekosport will show price in £ when you select UK delivery. When I went checkout with Paypal it was actually lower as the £ price is an estimate.
Fingers crossed they deliver for my trip to Avoriaz in 2 weeks
