In La Plagne last week, I saw a lot of ski-ers with VERY bright orange salopettes - any idea who makes them and where to buy?
Ideally under £100.
PS The ones I have are 15 years old from Decathlon for thirty-something pounds (brand Fireball which I have never heard of before or since) - and they have always been great, so I see no need to spend a fortune. A bit biggish now since Iv'e lost a stone in weight since then, but the only reason I wnt to change is for increased visibility as I currently ski all in black.

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

quiksilver make fluorescent orange ones. In Cham earlier this year I saw quite a few paired with a black jacket.

My other half has some fluoro orange decathlon ones with fluoro yellow zips. You need goggles on to look at them.

The Arco catalogue sells high viz stuff for dirt cheap. Sweaty as hell mind, but very waterproof.

Mine are bright orange (not fluoro though) and made by Oakley, I love them!

Couple of the kids I've been teaching this week have been sporting some fluoro orange Spyder ones.

I have a pair by Animal, (don't wear the anymore) but the guys I went out with last week, had some very similar ones believe they were made by Vans, and Thirty-two.
Worth a look.

I've noticed that a lot of the really good skiers you see bombing around often wear orange or yellow ski-pants.
Which makes me feel I don't qualify to get a pair...

Lime green was a few years ago!
