not exactly techy, but my local Decathlon has some fleeces for sale at 5.90 each.

JT, just a thin layer of fabric, not mesh, to stop your sweaty legs sticking to the shell fabric too much. I can use them in most conditions except "bloody cold" and below. Once that cold I just put a pair of 3/4 long-johns underneath.

brian, I think those are actually the Mammut Extreme range. The Extreme stuff is very very well made, its Mammuts 'look what we can do' range, but suitable more towards alpinism than skiing. The main drawback for skiing use is the lack of snowskirts and internal gaiters etc. Plus, if you buy the jacket AND pants you look like a right tool (my own personal opinion only)

Mosha Marc,
I have some old NF pants which are good in almost every way, but the lining is cold, which is a bug 1st thing in the morning, hence the fleece idea but I think they are too warm..!!

Not very techy but a real bargain all the same. Walked into Sports World last year and they had kid's Campri ski trousers for £5.49, RRP £60. Bought a pair the next size up for my 11 year old daughter and she wore them for 2 weeks this year.

My new Arcteryx Minuteman XCR pants arrived today at over £100 off liste from EB's online 
JT, the Arcteryx Theta pants have full length zips & there's some great online offers at the moment from a few US stores.

Forgot to post a pic of my other recently purchased 'retro' jacket - obtained for 40p by a friend at a local Jumble Sale. Now looking for pants to match

I get 20% off my outerwear from a friend who owns a shop, which is as far as the techy gear goes.
I did get a pair of volkl karmas at an absolute steal of a price, though I know for a fact the guy I bought them from misses them
ain't that right kiwi1

Just picked up an arcteryx theta AR for $310 +tax, about £170. A none too shabby result I think

Best bargain so far was my skis - 399 Euros for skis that cost £650 over here (Volkl Racetiger SL Racing). And we didn't even get charged carriage for the extra pair of skis back from Austria.
spyderjon, you should have asked Mr Docsquid - he's got a jacket just like that, you could have had a matching pair!

Megamum, it all becomes clear - I've just seen the Spyder jacket thread now. It's a cracking deal at that price - health to wear and tear as they say in these parts. I'm still not keen on pre-owned though.

spyderjon, I'm sure that if you did, it would be pure after being filtered through the silver-impregnated baselayers and the expensively weaved fleece mid-layer - almost like volvic.

Oi, you pair, give over......I am intending to wear it

spyderjon, your name still works for me. On my last trip, I picked up the nickname of Spyder as I was the only one not wearing a Spyder jacket (and wearing a jacket that looks suspicuously similar to yours).
