 Poster: A snowHead

...it has come to my attention that SOS have gone a little retro this year and will be vending some extremely fine colour ranges.
Check out http://www.sos-sportswear.com/. Sorry it's chock full of the usual manufacturer's ("look we're so clever with web pages it's not apparent to us that we're being w*nkers") flashturbation so I can't direct link to what I'm about to talk about.
I quite fancy a 624-10020 jacket in "Lagoon" (turquoise?) with T52 stretch pants in "Flame" (?orange).
A winning combination I believe, aesthetically anyway.
What do you reckon.
Better than black at least anyway??
P.S. do I need new ski boots to match too?

PPS - quite very seriously, how does Entrant Dermizax compare with Gore-tex XCR? I ski in Morzine from time to time so the ability to cope with torrential rain is highly important.

I normally ski Morzine in an RNLI suit [' SOS']

David Murdoch, do you think I might be able to carry off a 10-021 in Pleather with 20-022s in 315 Flame, or do I need 085 Concrete?

I already told you guys... i know someone will probably make whatever weird colour scheme you fancy in the style you want.... he does a nice job too.... and certainly NOT black!

I need someone to patch in a codura type gaiter on XCR pants. Something that is a bit more durable and resiliant against edges... and in black..!!

fatbob, leather ski gear? nice
i quite like the stuff at www.norrona.no which is probably bright enough for David Murdoch's tastes but doesn't seem to be available anywhere in the UK (at least not the kecks). slightly unwilling to part with the reassuringly expensive cost of them without trying on

JT, these guys are very good, http://www.tundra-repairs.co.uk/ they act as repair agents for many of the big suppliers and i am sure they will be able to do what you want.

Yes but make sure you go for rear entry, don't forget the finishing touches either (i.e. bandana, luminous ski poles and bright white sunblock on the lips)

You know it makes sense.

Careful. You'll offend David Goldsmith (who writes about them) and admin (who skis in them).

Doesn't offend me in the slightest. The binning of the rear-entry ski boot was one of the great follies of our time. Likewise the one-piece skisuit.
People get into lifeboats in one-piece suits (though admittedly not rear-entry boots) for a good reason.

David Goldsmith, yep to keep the English Channel out... you are obviously skiing in the wrong place... I really miss the sound of people continually adjusting poorly fitting rear-entry boots all over the mountain.

If I might be permitted to open up a small, cylindrical metal container of Oligochaetons, in reply to DG the SX91 was undoubtedly the finest rear entry boot ever made. Things went downhill from there on. It was an ideal product in terms of ease of use for many recreational skiers and remains so to this day. If it were still made, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to many people ! Once resoled with a vibram it also became a superb ski touring boot

comprex, the eternal question, "Flame" or "Concrete"?
As I always advise my dear clients, think of your eyes.
If you start your skiing day with the "look of eagles" and a slightly mischieveous glint glimmering metallically behind your Oakleys, you will get marvellous results and set them off gorgeously with "Concrete".
If, however, your typical skiing peepers resemble "p1ss holes in the snow", I suggest "Flame" pants might distract the onlookers and a discreet repair to a suitable hostelry for a generous pick-me-up.
