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 :-)

Jacket/Pants Colour Combo

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
The recent photography/skiers post turned into a bits of a pants colour fest and got me thinking. I've been looking for some decent gear recently and didn't want to break the bank. Probably would have gone for my red jacket/black trousers combo if I could have found the right stuff at the right price.

But:

I've got a butterscotch (light orange really) Changabang at a great price and today have ordered a pair of fairly bright blue Marmot Alpinist pants.





At least I'll be seen coming. Verdict (I'm crap at colours)?

Colin, you're 'bang on trend' as the fashionistas would say. This fashion season (SS11) is all about dayglo colours, the brighter the better. Wear your gear with pride - you may even make it into Grazia magazine as a ski fashion hero!! wink Very Happy Very Happy

It's the same colour combo as I have - I'm a cr@p skier Happy

I bought trousers that colour earlier in the year when drunk - there must have been a hell of a lot of drunk people this season as I've just came back from a week away and it was a very popular colour Happy

clarky999, that is such a big file I had to hunt to find you and then could only view part of one buttock and a sliver of jacket to check the colour combo. I can't get the green helmet in the same frame, which perhaps is a good thing.

I'm using Safari. I just linked the picture form the url on my blog, normally when I do that it comes out normal size... Safari doesn't let me get the url from facebook for some reason either...

I'll see if I can think up some other way...

It is indeed block colours (as opposed to multicloured or single colour) that is on trend for this year and next. Blue with yellow (or orange) also very 2011. But as for 2012 well you would have to pay several thousand dollars to subscribe to the trending studies, or visit the ISPO trade show and blag your way onto the often appointment only, and quite secretive, big clothing brand stands to know that.
I could reveal all right here if it weren't for two factors: I'm colour blind and couldn't tell what colours anything on show were; and I would be shot for espionage.

Lol cheers, but it was accidental tbh, the salopettes are a few years old and the jacket was the cheapest Goretex pro shell in the sales last summer!

Bought a pair of green trousers because they were described as "Woodbine Green". My "Woodbines" obviously make me the best AND hardest skier on the mountain.

In that case, Fall-Line is in deep poo-poo, they did a series of about 20 videos of some of the 2012 gear shown at ISPO Shocked

It's very waterproof and has loads of vents anyway, both will be needed!

L2A will be fine next week, skiing is between 1600 & 3600M, top half will be OK even if the bottom half isn't.

Well through careful colour matching and blending (doesn't help that I'm pretty colour blind), I think I've managed to further enhance the colour experience for this year wink

To add to the butterscotch/blue

Les Deux Alpes

I've added sublime green/blue

Colourful

Really need new boots and gloves.

Not sure about what's in fashion, but bright contrasting colours seem to look good on video against the snow.
