 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi my 13 yr old DS is off to Canada next month with school for his first ever ski trip. We've got him a coat and trousers from SportsDirect, gloves from Cosco but we've been told it's handy to have a couple of pairs of glove liners too.
So basically looking for advice on liners that won't break the budget that will help.
Also socks? Do we get ski socks or will thermal socks do the same job.
Any advice will be gratefully received.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@foxie_68, Welcome to snowHeads 
On a budget, look at Decathlon for Ski Socks and Glove Liners.....silk works quite well. Canada can be very cold, so make sure the gloves are fairly decent.
Look at Base Layers (running tops) and Fleeces, both by Karrimor, in Sports Direct.

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

Hi Foxie Wellcome to snow heads
Lucky Lad !!!
It will be very cold in January youngsters usualy take no advice from their elders so get some "hand warmers" and stick them in his pocket ... there is another thread active at the moment on the subject.
The best socks IMHO and cheapest are the Helly Hanson ones in TK-Max they are 2 pairs for £9.99 and they contain Merino wool.
I wear them nearly all the time.
He will have a wonderful time, I went with the school in 1963 and learnt to ski ... with no lift
and to smoke, and to drink beer ... was wonderful!

Thank you everyone, I will look into your suggestions.
He's going to the Chill Factore for another lesson so will get him to wear his stuff. If he's cold there, well then we know they definitely won't be good enough for Canada.

Definitely worth a visit to Decathlon. There are shops in Stockport, Bolton and Warrington depending where you're based.
