I have a very old pair of stretch ski pants that my wife refuses to let me out with as she says they are obscene. I had thought lycra was dead for ski clothing but then what do I see in a local ski shop ? Lycra salopettes, available in black or a fetching blue. How many of you out there still wear stretch ski pants ?

Lycra...As a base layer - fine. As an outer layer  well you'd better be really good to pull that off.

Ummm....
Your wife's right. Men in lycra should never, ever be seen in public.
I was stuck on the train a while back with a chap in his (lycra) cycling gear stood right next to me. His crotch was at eye level. It was really rather unpleasant.
That is the kind of thing that men in lycra inflict on poor unsuspecting people

Lycra skiwear should be worn by women only, and then only if they're a neat size 10 or smaller.

we get a lot of cross country skiers in the Beaufortain. Some (both sexes) look fantastic in those outfits. Most don't. Especially when everything, including the fabric, has lost that youthful spring. Fat men look bad in it but skinny men look worse.
My brother, who is not a skinny man, once wore purple lycra, rather too small for him, to a fancy dress party. He won a prize as the best-dressed haemorroid.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

In these sort of lycra situations, wives and women are ususally right, so take the OH advice.
However, having seen the numbers of young women resorting to the 'jeggings' phenomenon round these parts, I think I might have to go and post in apres thread about why are brits rubbish at dressing...

Arno, true but there is an incentive, a bit like the donkey and carrot approach.
