 Poster: A snowHead
|
Firstly I'm not sure if there is any forum etiquette that I'm ignoring by coming on this forum as a newbie and posting questions immediately so for that I apologise.
So now I've doffed my cap, so to speak, I'd like to ask for advice.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some ski trousers that are likely to fit me.
I'm 6'2" so it's not leg length that's the issue it's waist size. I'm going to need something around 46-48" waist as I stand in at a rather impressive 146kg's.

Hi there,
I'm a bit of a beginner myself so I'm sure if anyone else has advice it will likely supercede mine.... however I am somewhat larger than the assumed maximum snowboarder size (36" waist seems to be XL in some brands!) and have been looking for ski pants recently.
In the end I got some XXL columbia from TK Maxx, though I'm not sure I saw anything up to 46" waist while I was there, if you live near a large store, give it a go! I had also noted that Decathalon seem to stock cheap trousers up to 3 or 4 xl if thats any use?
Enjoy your skiing!
Pete

I don't know graeme, there appears to be an honourable snowHeads tradition of naked skiing!

do a search for White Rock. They provide ski wear for the more cuddly variety of skier and the quality isnt bad either.

I'd just like to thank everyone for there suggestions.
In my stocking for christmas I found a lovely pair of new White rock sallopetes which fitted bang on and worked perfectly when it was decided that it would be rude to not try them as we were celebrating Xmas 15 miles from Xscape(snodome).
So today i spent my first ever 2 hours on real snow and my first time on skis for nearly 14 years and it was just like riding a bike. Okay it might have been a wobbly bike but ridden it was so to speak!!
All set now for the end of january when i fly out with myself the missus and the 2 kids to Flaine to enjoy 10 days on the white stuff.
Wohoo!
