 Poster: A snowHead
|
Thinking about buying a new jacket, I only ski for one week per year, so can't justify spending a fortune on a jacket, but also don't want to buy a cheap one that isn't up to the job
Had a nightmare last year with a billabong one that ended up wet and cold on the inside, not very nice tbh.
Are any of the down jackets any good?
Seen a few from TNF and others for around £150.00 and under and like the look of them

They're good for very cold conditions - in normal temperatures you'd roast. If you only ski one week a year you'd be better with a shell and lots of layers.

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

yeah head to your nearest tkmaxx, or look at something like a TNf triclima jacket then you'll get a shell and a zip in /out thermal jacket of fleece

Helly Hansen Tofino CS jacket looks like it could be a winner

down jackets are the business when you're standing in the mountains doing demos or riding in temps colder than -10.

I love my down jacket, but don't ever envisage wearing it for skiing (maybe of it's -30 + windchill or something). It's a Mountain Equipment one, top notch gear at pretty reasonable prices.

I've got a nice Rab jacket, but only wear it for going out at night when it's very cold. Way to hot to ski in but handy to have in pack in case of benightment on off piste days.
