Whats your thoughts on one piece suits?
I fancied trying one so I bought one from ebay, brand new with tags, it had been sitting in a wardrobe unworn for some time, I think its from the early/mid nineties.
Its metallic dark green with brilliant white flashes. I've bought a pair of white carrera glasses to finish the look which I think will come back into fashion as a result of the new government.

The problem with one pieces is that you either think you look 1.) Cool, in a retro sort of way or 2.) Think you are the funny, wacky japester who everyone wants to ski with.
You are neither. You are merely tragic. People are embarrassed for you, and your family are humiliated. You dance with your thumbs up, don't you? And probably wear novelty socks.

sean1967, get thee off to La Plagne - you'll fit in just fine.
But, there again, I can't talk. I'm sat here with my Wallace and Gromit socks on and my Berghaus one-piece (circa 1990) hanging on the back of the bedroom door. Oh, and I'm off to morris dance practice tonight too!

I don't want to fit in! Fitting in is for The Voice of Reason, it just a bit of fun. It started when we bought one for my friend who organised last year's trip to say thanks.
Morris Dancing?

sean1967, Don't worry about fitting in - when you wear your one piece, you'll be unique - just like everybody else

Forget the fashion statement, lets talk practicalities.
One piece = toilet faff.
Got to virtually strip off including your jacket/top half every time you want to sit on the throne !
It's bad enough using alpine bogs as it is !

We had a lovely game of FartBagger going in Samoens last year. Basically you have to photograph the bagger, with bonus points for horrificness of the target bag, and one of your party furiously mugging next to said bagger. Points are lost should the bagee be wearing the bag for ironic purposes.
For example, the following shows a mere semi-dreadful (5/10) a mugging bonus of 4/5 points (could've been closer) and a Probable Seriousness Factor (or PSF) of 5/5, this scores 14/20.

Richard_Sideways, Can you just clarify which punter is being 'mugged off' in the photo? Is it the guy on the right, or the gaper on the left?

As proved by the above pic, it doesn't matter if you wear a one piece or not just make sure you tuck your pants in your boots.

Just make sure you plan your 'comfort' stops in plenty of time. Fartbags are unattractive but even more so with the strategic addition of a wet patch.

DB, spot on. The grey and brown combo is so very cutting edge, don't you think?

DB, in my defense, the inner gaiter IS inside the boot - as for my symphony in grey and brown, I apologise to no man.

I don't care what the guy at the Army and Navy Store said - only your feet and socks should be in your boots.

Does the inner gaiter do a god job or a bad job of channelling water inside your boot?

Yes, gaiter does do a good job when outside boots, boots undone in that shot, hence general disarray - early morning, not clocked on for the day yet. Blimey, didn't expect spanish inquisition over contents of my boot (for future reference, strata normally goes outer/gaiter,boot, sock, sweat, crunchy bits, foot meat, assorted bones)

I blame a lack of sleep and an extremely slow day at the office.
I shall keep my posts limited to whimsical musings on the thoughts of others for the rest of the day.

I've not got enough pennies to actually have one of these in the real world  even if I did it is almost impossible to get your hands on one.
One'sies are making a come back though, for those big powder days or super cold conditions they are ideal. This is the Norrana Lofoten one and Sweet Protection do one that is pretty smart too. Tight 80s neon coloured ones are also the bomb.
