So, you've blown your budget on ski gear already, and then you try on your old stuff and find that your Salopettes don't fit anymore :S
What would you buy with a limited budget of 50 quid, give or take a pound or two?
Cheers

I would see if I could borrow a pair untill I have saved enough money again to buy a decent pair, maybe in May in the end of season sales or next fall.

I'd hotfoot down to TKMaxx to see what they've got, or Mountain warehouse are having a 70%off sale at the mo, not fashionable, but functionable if you're in need.
Or you could buy £50 of celery and eat nothing else before you go in the hope of losing the offending inches!

They are black though 
My prob, which is why I'm still wearing 10 year old salopettes, is that the legs are far too long for my little legs (combined with a post Xmas belly growth)
(Not "a 10 year old's salopettes" ! )

Blimey? Are they real or copies? I've never found a bargain in TKMAXX but my SIL gets loads.
My son had Spyder gloves from Snow & Rock and they didn't keep his hands warm at all. His nan bought them for xmas, £75 ouch.

Cheers guys. I like the look of those westbeach ones. Might check out tk maxx this weekend as well.
Saw some bib pants on westbeach. Has anyone got much to say about them? I've never worn the bib style so was curious

I had that problem exactly. The sallopettes I had for ages were too large and too long. I also had to patch them where I bunt a hole on a gas cooker.
I was not looking for a new pair though. I wanted to keep wearing the old pair. However, Mountain Warehouse were closing a store and had a pair of new sallopettes at less than £30 which were the correct length and width for me. I could not miss that bargain, even though I can still wear my old sallopettes. So now I have two pairs, one which I can grow into and the other which look smart and new.
I am not sure if that helps you. If your sallopettes are too small, I would suggest that you get fit and lose some weight.
