boabski, thank you for that link (I think!), I've just bought myself a half price Arcteryx jacket.

cathy, you should develop a better understanding of the terms "need" and "want".

I do need a new jacket! RachelQ, was it the £200 half price or the £187.50 half price one?
My last one was £50.00 from TackyMax so even at half price those make me go  .

I've got some bargain vouchers for Tamworth snowdome which is very useful since my friend is having lessons there at the moment. With these vouchers the lessons are £20 for two hours or £27 for three hours and a recreational ski pass is £17 for three hours. Not bad for a summer fix!

RachelQ, it's very nice ...... but it's £200 half price! Who buys jackets for £400? I might, just possibly, have bought it if I saw it in a shop, tried it on, twirled in the mirror several times then decided it fitted perfectly, the material was lovely to touch, it had pockets and things in all the right places and it made me look cool (that's cool for me not cool per se ) but not by post because it is a rare gift for this to happen.
So I hope that when you get it you do the same and think, yes, all worth it!

So do I and if I don't I'll send it back. I've wanted one of those jackets for ever, but not at the full price. So if it's as good as some people I know who wear them (proper gnarly skiers most of them) say they are, I'll be well chuffed at saving £200. And if I look cool in it, even better!

I got an arcteryx in the sale a few years back, it has been brilliant!

Cheers for the reminder of the EB sales, I've just bankrupted myself on a very good deal on a Norrona jacket I've wanted for a long time

I find it annoying that you on the Ellis Brigham site you find salopettes and ski trousers under the heading Ski Pants and no way of telling which they are. (In English English they would be underclothes.)

snowball, I find it annoying that I have to look at jackets by brand rather than all jackets available in a particular size

Does anyone know the relative sizes of the men's Sidewinder AR Arc'teryx jackets? I'm 5.11 with 40/42 chest. Very tempted by the price at EB (100 instead of 400), but they only have large and some reviews on-line say the fitting is VERY baggy, with someone much bigger than me saying they have the medium. Almost tempted to take a punt given the margin of the bargain, but don't want to end up with a tent.

One of these days.......................................{wistful smiley reqd} As things stand I've still got to shed a large number of pounds to get back into the decent gear I was treated to a couple of holidays back.

Linds, omigod, I'll have to go back and have another look now.
Edit: ...and am now tempted by matching Eider jacket and pants. I do not need them, I do not need them, I do not need them, repeat ad infin.

I am in the exact same boat with a burton jacket. I usually size between M and L, they only have L left but going by reviews for said jacket, it's a "team fit" i.e. very baggy so that L might be more like XL...
So dunno but at £36 for Burton Jacket, i might risk it..

Linds, I really, really mustn't - bought new jackets (insulated and soft shell) and pants only last season. They've still got YEARS of wear in them, and I haven't even consigned my fartbag to the bin quite yet!

I am 5ft 10 with similiar chest, I went for a large Stingray as my missus said the med was not long enough for a ski jacket, fit wise I thought the M was ok, but since having the L have had no issues at all with it.
Helen - this would do him great IMHO http://www.ellis-brigham.com/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi?prod_code_in=340702

I find the fact that I can't try stuff on easily round here is the main reason that stops me taking advantage (or wasting cash - depending on your perspective) of mail/email order sales - its not so bad if you can visit a shop to try on and then order, but I'm an odd shape and often find problems with the fit of jackets and trousers/sallies. I tried on loads of Arcteryx and Shoeffel when I was bought the Eider, and though they looked great on the hangers they just didn't fit!!

Megamum, if I buy something online I usually just order a few bits and pieces in different sizes (if I am unsure) and send the unsuitable stuff back. Some places even do free returns.
