 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am in need of a new ski jacket - budget runs £200 to £300, although I would prefer to spend a lot less.
Looking for something waterpoof, warm, plenty of pockets c/w hood and in black or mainly black.
Any  's seen or bought anything similar recently?
Thanks
CP

By all means spend a lot less - I've been recommending these since I got mine 3-4 yrs ago and been selling them here over the past year with no complaints yet.
It performs way beyond what you'd expect for the cost.
I've used it in -20 comfortably 5 pockets + 1 for phone, wired packaway hood, available in black or mainly black

I am also in the market for some new kit... so I will hijack this thread with my requests 
Jacket: goretex or similar quality techy shell.
: Zip in fleece (full body or body warmer is okay)
: Pocket on left wrist for magic ski passes
: Powder skirt, preferably one that will popper onto matching trousers
: lots of vents (I get hot!)
Trousers : Goretex or whatever
: braces, but not too dungaree like! (this may conflict with the popper onto snow skirt not sure!
: cooling vents all around.
: inbuilt gaiters around the cuff
: Jacket + trousers combo should NOT look like a one piece from a distance!

That's right. I've done 7600 posts and people pay me to wear Bogner.

Well, that's only fair, nobody in their right mind would wear it for free surely?

mistermouse, Only punter wear for me thanks - I know how I ski In the late 80's I had a red all in one suit and more than once was mistaken for a French ski instructor - while standing still of course!! My friends used to take the p1$$ and called me the 'Monitor'.

fragglerock, sounds like the North Face Freethinker jacket might be to your taste, depending on budget of course. Not sure if it has zip-in fleece capability though. Why have a zip-in fleece anyway? About as much use as zip-in undies as far as I can see

I have a Berghaus jacket & zip in fleece and cannot see the point ! Never been mistaken for and instructor though.
My new North Face Hyvent jacket was fine up the glacier last week without the fleece underlay, and only a single baselayer.
The Berghaus fleece caused extensive overheating so should be a good combo for Jan temps.

easiski,
How are the new ski pants..?
And I liked some of the Millet mid layers in Jutta's shop.. I almost wish I bought one there and then but as I don't need anything I thought I would wait until I see one that jumps out and says buy me...!!
And I might need that CC limit for skiing so its understandable.....just...!!

I got a Schoeffel jacket from Snow and Rock in their summer ski sale (clearing out for the new stuff!). Got a Recco built in, gore tex, comfy, warm etc etc - pretty quality. RRP was £300 but with all the discounts i had in my arsenal that day got for £140. Pretty good deal I thought?!!
Are Schoeffel good? anyone else use 'em? (going to Ellmau 2nd week of Jan for 2 weeks- not been skiing before!)

mistermouse, yeah, the google pocket holds me spray can nice wiv me bottle wen I hang out wiv me mates out the back of the estate !
Actual real graffiti turned up on my side gate last week - unknown (almost) in Ovingham! Problem was, the paint in the tin hasnt faded as much as the paint on the gates so a full repaint was required.
The Berghaus chav image was one reason I went North Face this time.

eddyr, Welcome to Snowheads, I have a very old Schoeffol jacket that has been superb, ripped panels replaced FOC by them when I mailed it back (2 years after purchase). Schoeffel are, IMHO, a very good brand. Layers (that you don't sweat in) are the best way to go under the jacket. Have fun in Scheffau, I had my best ever (to date) time there in my second year of skiing (some time ago now  ) once you get the big cable car thing out the way in the morning its a great place to be, make sure to get to "Going" part of the ski welt area and def worth a visit.

cheers frosty,
Really excited I must say, i'm sure i'll have plenty mroe questions as time goes on.
Sticking to the thread though - sounds a good omen for my jacket should i enjoy laying on the snow more than skiing down it!!

admin, I thought I had sent you a PM yesterday re ordering the jacket, trousers and a gilet - but I can't see it in my sent box and I've not had a response.
Did you get the message or has disappeared into the ether?

CP, a PM remains in your outbox until it is read - then it moves to your sent box.
Sorry, I wasn't around yesterday so it was still in your outbox.
I'll reply now.

admin, There is another one there now too - the order and I will pay to upgrade to super-snowHead just to prove I am not that tight
As they say 'your cheque is in the post'
Thanks
