 Poster: A snowHead
|
Any recommendations for good ones? Thought I would canvas opinions whilst half-term memories were fresh.
My two declared that the £3.99 pair of mitterns from Lidl were better than the more expensive ones and the fact that they noticed such a difference has made me think I ought to suss out some better ones (Lidl ones only came in 1 size that was too small for bigger child and expect smaller one too by next year). E also complained less of cold feet when wearing the one pair with some wool in.... ANYTHING to prevent her getting cold feet is worth some money in my opinion... she never really cheered up when she got in that frame of mind!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Socks, Aldi/Lidl can't be beaten for price/performance, me and the kids all happily used them in the Carpathians last week with no complaints at all. My kids all did fine with their Lidl gloves and given the speed they grow out of or trash things I don't see any point in buying more expensive kit at this stage. Youngest's (age 6) only complaint about her Aldi ski suit was she was too warm out on the mountain!

katedenhaag, son had Snow Life mittens from TK Maxx this year, brilliant swiss made and a gauntlet style so they drew up snug over the wrist, they were about £7 I think. He was keen to wear this particular pair even with a couple of alternatives. Suspect they will be too small by next season. He also has Barts gloves but they are a pain to get on and he doesn't seem keen on them. Invicta are cute but not particularly warm and don't come up high on the wrist.
Socks - bought Smartwool ones in the sale from S&R last year, About £5 a pair, brilliant, soft and warm, they are my favourite brand too. However he did complain of cold feet one day last week, it was bitter and I got a pair of very fine silk socks in resort to wear underneath, which worked well and I had no further complaints from him.
So this week I have been up to Decathlon and bought, in case it happens again, another pair of silk socks and also a pair of junior tights if I can bring myself to put my boy in tights! they were reduced 
Also saw a very strange creation in there come kind of 'collant-chaussette', it's like a pair of tights but with attached socks, wasn't sure so didn't buy but might work for some.

Aldi socks for both kids and next gloves for the older one, younger one has a pair from Snow and Rock (ebay) and a pair that were a pressie so don't know where they were from. The most important thing with the younger one is having two pairs because she sucks her thumb through them and they get soggy

I take 2 pairs of gloves or mittens for all the kids as even though they don't thumb suck they don't seem able to get though half a day without making them soggy somehow!
