Poster: A snowHead
|
I have a son who’s a little over weight and not that tall. This means ski pants are becoming a nightmare to find.
Has anyone any knowledge of a shorter more roomier brand?
Trying anything is an issue as there’s no major shops nearby so I’ll order a few to try.

Probably not Decathlon. Their kids clothes tend to come up skinny ( like their adult clothes, come to that). Good luck with your search.

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

Saying that - they have a range which lets you adjust the leg length, which could let you buy next size up but set to shortest leg length?
Edit: they call us Pull N fit

When my boys were that age we used this firm quite a bit:-

I would buy them a size up and not worry about them being too long, it really doesn't matter when they have ski boots on. Also at those prices you can afford to replace them much more often!
They also seem to have an additional discount on with code SALE15.
For full disclosure, I have no links to this firm, just had 2 sets of jackets and trousers that were really good value and lasted multiple trips.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We've had a pair of the adjustable salopettes for one of our boys from Decathlon for a couple of years and they have been great. We bought them to give growing room but should work for your needs too. Adjustment works well with nothing dragging on the floor...
Would suggest them.

My boys are a bit younger but have the opposite problem - I would not bother with Lidl or Aldi or Decathlon ones as they probs wouldn't work but we did get some hand me down Helly Hansen ones that were enormous so they might work.

Perhaps look at salopettes made by snowboarding brands as they tend to be baggier and roomier because of the style.

Same problem here with a big boned 10.5 yr old boy - 145cm and 35kg. Got a jacket and saloppette combo from Columbia (Bugaboo) that fits a treat and has extendable arms and legs to last another season. He uses his ski jacket as his off duty winter jacket.
