Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Recommendations please - Goggles & Glove - Should I get...

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
I need to get some goggles & gloves. I looking to spend around £20 to 30 on each, hopefully something that's worth more on sale.

I don't like lenses which are bright colours of orange or pink etc, but a little tinted orange or pink etc is fine. I think I prefer sliver or bronze light coloured though. Not dark lenses though either

Does anyone have any recommendations for either I have found these goggles but can find a review for them anywhere. Has anyone here used them?

Any advice for be much appreciated!

I think you may struggle to get a good pair of either for your budget - though oddly, I did find a very decent pair of M&S gloves for £15 which I wore for 3 weeks skiing, in a wide range of temperatures. Biggest pig with some gloves is getting them on and off when your hands are sweaty - and it's tricky to check that in a shop. As for the goggles, if they are genuine Scotts they should be fine - but I'm not sure how good they would be in low/flat light.

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

dominicw78, lens colour is about functionality. Have a look at the manufacturer's site and pick a lens which corresponds to the conditions in which you want to use your goggles.

Get a subsription to fall line ski magazine, this is about £30 I think and comes with a really good pair of Scott goggles that would cost far more than the magazine subsciption.

If it's of any assistance I took a different type of Scott Goggles from sports outlet and I am pretty sure they are genuine.

Are those leather gloves really worth trying? I've seen several threads that mention them.

I thought this implied that he felt they might not be, I just thought I'd give the shop some support and say that I didn't think there was anything wrong with the ones I bought.
