Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Changing from padded to shell sallopettes
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

After about 15 yrs skiing in a pair of padded sallopettes that weren't new when I got them, I've finally bought a new pair - Haglofs Varsi 2, half price from Sport Pursuit. The question is will I notice a big difference in warmth? Has anyone else made the switch?

I've a pair of Marmot shell salopettes and layer underneath depending on the weather. When it's cold I've a pair of Sweet Saviour pants, just merino baselayer when it's a little warmer and in Spring weather just a pair of briefs. Depends how much you feel the cold though.

Thanks, Claude B, most of my skiing is Dec/Jan, and up till now I've only needed a merino baselayer. The Saviour pants look a good job!

Tom Doc, notice? Almost certainly. There's no insulation in shells. There would be some sort of insulation in what you just cast off.

A 200 odd weight fleece legging will probably compensate, around 15£ from decathlon.

I tend to wear merino base later under my shell salopettes and I'm warm enough on 90% of ski days. When its really cold I replace or supplement them with stretch fleece tights, e.g. these

I tried it out last season as a bit of research into a new brand we have. Skied in Feb, March (France and Scotland) and April (Scotland) with merino baselayer or just underwear in March in France and was fine. Never needed the fleece trousers even in Scotland but did keep them in my rucksack! They're Skogstad 3-layer shell. Very flexible/ stretchy and fully waterproof. Clever stuff and incredibly comfortable to wear.
