 Poster: A snowHead
|
Has anyone ever ordered anything from Ski4Less?
I have a bit of a quandry because I'm on quite a severe weight loss campaign at the moment and my current thermals/base layers are now like tents but I won't reach my final goal before this years ski trip, so I need some reasonable thermals/base layers that won't break the bank for hopefully just this one season. Ski4Less seems like a reasonable bet but has anyone else got any other ideas/recommendations other than the usual suspects such as Aldi where it is a bit hit or miss whether you go there at the right time?

Or buy one set of merino thermals and they will last you all week. Seriously, they just dont smell

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

Posidrive, do you live near a TK Maxx? They often have very good quality thermals and base layers at a decent price. Other than that, I would have suggested Aldi and Lidl which both have good stuff, albeit with the added piquancy of not knowing quite what you'll find when you get there......

If I lived where you do I think I'd have a look in Go Outdoors first.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Posidrive, do you mean Skiwear4less? I've had things from them before, and they've been decent mid-range gear. Good luck with the weight loss.

II, Hmm I bought a pair of their merino bottoms and they're rubbish. Loads of holes after a couple of washes. Perhaps it's me

Aldi or lidl, I got a merino top from there last year and mine is still in great shape and I wear it to work most weeks!

My Aldi merino thermals are heading into their third winter of skiing and sailing and still going strong

Yes, I did mean those guys. I'm not very good at multitasking when I'm really meant to be working in the office. Thanks for the good wishes. 3 1/2 stone lost in 5 months but 1 1/2 stone to go but sort of got stuck on a bit of a plateau recently.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I had a look yesterday but they still seem to be setting up for the ski season. May try again in a couple of weeks.

Had a look today and although they had plenty of interesting looking outerwear but not a sign of thermals. Couldn't resist the Storm Tech sun glasses with interchangable lens as a spare set though. May sound unnecessry but I have a bad habit either leaving them in bars or breaking them by sitting on them after a few refreshments.
