Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

We Norwegians stuff is sooo nice, but good lord the prices... want to get the myself and the missus some but think she'd kill me if I spent that much on base layers Laughing

I've gotten her some nice ones from Sweaty Betty before which she likes, some nice patterns etc., they have decent sales if you're patient.

I'm an absolute sucker for some retro chevrons, they obviously make you go faster snowHead

My other half wears those. This seasons ones are even harder to look at - the same sort of print as car manufacturers stick all over new models to disguise them. I can’t even look at them without going cross eyed.

The design might be questionable, but $160 for a shirt is laughable. I guess, that's about the cost of all my clothes going skiing... Blush

Dressmart mall in Christchurch near the airport has mons and icebreaker outlets. There’s one in Auckland somewhere too. Also torpedo7 shops which are in most towns dump stock cheap - although probably not in Queenstown where ripping off tourists at full price is the norm.

Are you skiing in NZ

@hang11, no, not skiing, don’t really want to lug a load of kit around. Visiting family near Auckland, so could go to the outlet there. Will probably go to Queenstown, not sure about Christchurch. Any recommendations? (Can PM to reduce thread drift if you want).

I know this is slightly off thread as they say, has any body got any experience of using the Caxton FX card for currency , the pro's and con's, been offered one on my car parking £10 off seems to good to be true.I would rather have £10 off my airport parking.
As they say if its sounds too good, beware ?
There are other cards like Clarity which have been proven useful but as with everything drawbacks.
I was wondering if any S/H had used it.

First off, I want to thank you all for your invaluable input and support over the last few weeks. For those of you who expressed interest in brighter and more fun base layers, I've got something exciting to share!

If you're in the "not interested in more exciting base layers" camp, feel free to skip this message – no hard feelings. Eh oh!

For the rest of you, I'd be truly grateful if you could take a moment to check out the following link and provide your feedback on a selection of AI-generated base layer patterns. Please note that these AI-generated patterns are for inspiration only, and we don't plan to design our base layers solely using AI. Your opinions will be crucial in helping us create an amazing line of colorful, playful, and functional base layers that bring joy to the slopes.

Thank you in advance for your time and insights. Your involvement means the world to us, and we can't wait to bring our vibrant and unique base layers to life with your help

@CrazyGoat, might I suggest that by classifying anyone over 55 as ‘other’ you are probably offending a third of SHs. Also asking folk to comment on 12 different designs is too many all at once.

@CrazyGoat, I don't know if this is relevant to your project but, for me, the material is massively more important than the pattern. Merino - in different weights - all the way, and if that's plain black, fine by me.

I will be delving further into materials and weights of material , but for now the initial aim is the looks. The goal is to make the product match the quality and function of a good baselayer, but with a bit more fun !

Hi All,

I'm thrilled to share a major update with everyone who has generously offered opinions and advice.

Several months have passed, and during this time, I've dedicated myself to perfecting the product's design and sourcing top-quality materials. Currently, I'm in the process of finalizing our manufacturing partner. We've narrowed it down to the final two candidates and are actively working on creating samples. Soon, we'll choose our preferred manufacturer.

But the big news is this: We have a name! Our Winter sports (Yes Snowboarders Matter too) Baselayers brand is now officially known as Wild Caper.

Wild Caper is all about embracing the spirit of adventure, freedom, and style on the slopes. We want to craft high-performance baselayers that blend fashion with functionality, designed to perform both on and off the slopes.

To stay connected with us and get a sneak peek at our upcoming products, we've launched www.Wild-Caper.com and you can find our social media accounts linked from there. While the social media is currently sparse, that's about to change very soon.

I hope this isn't deemed spammy; if it is, then apologies. I believe it's nice to provide people with feedback on their feedback. This journey has been incredibly interesting, including overcoming a legal challenge on our original company name. It's been a great learning experience, full of all sorts of drama that I'll be documenting and sharing.

Thought I'd take a look, but the link doesn't work. - you accidentally slipped a comma after the .com in it.

Just a bit of advice for your website. I always ignore any site that requests my email details before I can see any of the products.
By all means ask people who order to "sign up", but not everybody who just want to see what's on offer.

Chances are you could be losing 3/4 of your potential customers from the get go.

Good spot, and also appreciate the comment, I guess in response this is very much just a case of giving us a presence so that we have our audience before we go live to start selling. Appreciate that's not for everyone but the product is new and still in development.
unfortunately web presence , search engines and audiences don't work like a tap and not everyone wants to use social media. its an option but obviously not one everyone is keen on.
