 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Folks,
Just after some of your thoughts on Salopettes.
Looking to replace the set of cheap 'Trespass' ones I bought at TKMaxx last year. They are really bugging me as the popper comes undone everytime you bend over, the zips are really 'lose' ie they can come undone on their own, and they are not a very nice cut.
I've been looking at the Schoffel Rich Dynamic Pants, does anyone have any feedback on these? Doesn't seem to be much info on the web particually on whether they are a breathable construction or not.
Cheers

Well the Aldi soft shells in at the moment are good, and worth several times the price Aldi are charging. Ignore the fact it says ladies if you are a chap as they seem a unisex design and fit typical bloke shaped me fine! Certainly looking last year when they had mens and ladies at the same time the only real difference I spotted was the way the size labels described the size!
Other than than TKMaxx up here have a good selection of Surfantic stuff at the mo that looks way better than the Trespass/Dare2B stuff they have in at more or less the same price, eldest daughter is well pleased with her Surfantics.

Get something goretex... you won't look back. You can still get them cheap though. My rip curl goretex ones were ony £40 in tkmaxx a few years back. Still going strong.

I've got some Schoffel's which are great..although I'm not sure I could go any further with an analysis other than they seem to keep the water out and feel warm enough. I'm sure plenty of other makes would be exactly the same at half the price though!

my two penneth; if you're skiing (which I asume you are if you're asking about salopettes), then I strongly advise you get some with reinforced inside ankle/boot area. If not, they skis will inevitably cut them to ribbons and you will collect snow in the lining of your trews, thereby ensuring you drip melting snow all over the bar/chalet/bedroom and they'll take an age to dry out

FAQ
I see they claim the venturi fabric is waterproof and breathable so they could be a good buy (and much cheaper than many Gore-Tex offerings). I have a pair of Degre 7 insulated salopettes in Gore-Tex XCR which have been excellent but now have patches on top of patches 
I can't find a replacement so thinking of trying Arcteryx Gore-Tex shell with Powerstretch 3/4 leggings underneath.
With customer service as good as that they inevitably went bust I guess.
