Hi and welcome,
I have only had animal bags not clothing but the standard of the bags has been good if thats any use.
Tell us where you are going to ski?
If your in London (as your location is listed) you should have a snow and rock or Ellis Brigham or TK Maxx within easy reach.
If your not in London tell us where you actually are and between the snowheads collective brains we should come up with something to help.

Nah! ... woolly hat is what you want (and only if it gets cold!)
The jacket looks a bit black to me ...but I'm sure it will do the job.

Animal is pretty good, 5/5 waterproofing breathability will do the job, if the budgets tight go for it I'd say!

I've learnt the hard way buying cheap ski jackets...Ask yourself a question...Do you have enough confidence in the jacket to remain warm whilst sitting on an open chairlift at 2-3,000 metres in a -20 degree blizzard?
There's a reason why technical ski jackets are several hundreds of pounds - and it's not always fashion related.

I would invest in higher end gear if I had the money to do so!
I live in London and will be traveling to Risoul to ski.
Thanks, I'll check out those places lilywhite.
And I want to wear a helmet as I take more than my fair share of crashes as 'one of those' young adult snowboarders.
- Any advice on where to find cheap helmets?

sheeplovebeer, Just a quick thought, you need to try goggles and helmet together, which ever you buy first don't forget to take with you to buy the other. They are not all the same shape.

I've just upgraded from some Dare2b salopettes bought the day before a week in the Caringorms to some Animal ones. Went for the Kaden Premium 10/10k. Only used them in SnowFactor so far but they seem to do the job. Well made, comfy, loads of pockets and features.
The main difference I found was the cut is a lot comfier, you almost forget you're wearing them compared to the Dare2b's which always needed some fiddling with to stay comfortable.

Alright so I checked out TKMaxx and sportsdirect today. Got some pants for £35 which seem pretty good.
There was only 1 jacket I liked: £60 and 10k/10k proof but it was a bit long, went at least halfway down to my knee.

Try any branch of Sports Direct. The biggest one, Lilly White's in Piccadilly Circus (if you're in central London) had loads of stuff last weekend in their dedicated Ski Zone!
