 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey all, was doing a bit of christmas shopping and i noticed some nice ski gear in the animal shop. Went online to do a bit of reasearch as it struck me as very thin. Now i know that there have been big advances, but reading online it describes it as an 'outer shell' and states that you need at least 3 layers. So, in my mind it seems that this is just the water resistaint layer (pants too) and will not have any real insualting proeprties. I wanted to update my ski gear this year (only due to vanity) but to be honest nothing seems to cacth my eye stlye wise, and if it does its stupidly expensie. Anyway, real question is anyone use animal ski gear? It it warm? Does it last? Worth buying? Thanks. I have linked below what im looking at buying.

I have a pair of the Prowler Pants, and I really like them, have never used an Animal Jacket.

I've only worn them last season in Sestriere in April (last week of season) with temps no lower than -4, but had absolutely no issues, and I wasn't wearing any thermals. They were a lot better than my old salopettes (TK Maxx purchase, not sure what brand) which I wore in Finland in -20 and beyond, so I'm confident the prowler pants will be fine.
I leave for Alpe D'Huez in a week, so I can let you know how I coped when I get back.
But the Pants are more than just an outer shell, they definitely have some insulating properties.

I'd think that they are pretty similar to the Quicksilver gear? Just an assumption though..
