 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just returned from Go Outdoors with:
Helly Hansen Recon jacket
Dare2b trousers
Trekmates Goretex gloves
Smartwool PhD socks
Regatta fleece
All in it was £210 which, though expensive, seems to be a relatively good bit of value-for-money considering I'm just about completely kitted out now.

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

Montana, are Natives recommending lots, and lots of speciality ski socks? My thinking is to use one (or maybe two) pairs of Smartwool socks as I can't afford a dozen of them, and then back them up with Decathlon's offerings when I don't think I'll be doing strenuous or long-session skiing. At £18 a pop, I can't take a full stock of Smartwool. Though they're bloody comfortable.

Timmaah, that's tomorrow's visit. Or maybe I'll have to put it back to Monday owing to work commitments. Either way it's next on my store hit-list.

re your UnderArmour top. It's perfect for on the slopes. I've got one (also from my footballing days) as well as the Canterbury equivalent. I wear it with a t-shirt on top followed by my shell jacket. I then carry a fleece in my backpack for if it gets chilly/we stop for piste-side refreshments. If you've got a TKMaxx near by, try there for socks. I picked up a couple of pairs of technical socks for less than a tenner.

Astraeus, don't forget that you'll screw up those nice smartwool socks if you use a hot wash. They like 30 degrees. If you're organised you can wash one/wear one; then you'll only ever need two pairs.

Anniepen, Ditto, you won't beat Lidl's socks for the money. I look after mine carefully (don't tumble dry them or wash them hot), but I've got some now that are several years old (5-6 weeks skiing now) and still going strong.

Had a fun time in lidl today, indeed if you rummage there are bargains to be had.I went in for ski socks for my kids, which I got very good value.
They also had , helmets £20, Goggles £8 ( I nearly bought a pair just to see how they compared with my "branded" set), womens jackets and salapettes, £35 the set!!! Cheap sunglassses, and loads of layer type stuff.
Savings were accidently spent on Perelebacher Premium Pils, which seems quite nice.
