For ski and snowboard wear at very attractive prices – including ski suits and skiwear packages; separate jackets, salopettes and ski pants; fleeces and base layers; snow boots; goggles and glasses; board/ski bags and luggage; and a worthwhile skiwear bargain basement!
eBay is always worth a try for ski and snowboard gear, eBay is the auction site
where you can bid for anything, from brand new skis and
snowboards, to used boots and sallopettes. Buying used
is a good move if you are a novice skier and not sure
if you are going to keep it up long term. Also a great
idea for kids ski gear, when they only use once a year
and grow out of it so quickly!
Snowboarding gear
from the official shop for the Extreme Sports Channel
– like cool jackets from Headworx and goggles from
Version – rocking eye protection from the USA. Extremepie
sell the coolest most up to date surf, skate & snowboard
gear available anywhere on or off-line.
Essential for any snowsport
– a cool pair of sunglasses; and if you take it seriously
a decient pair of goggles too! Bolle have a reputation
for quality ski goggles and Sunglasses UK bring you their
range at excellent prices. They've got a terrific range
of designer and quality named sunglasses too.
These days building your own ski
wear is a good option. Take a good, wicking, base layer
or two, add a fleece and then a waterproof/windproof
top layer. This gives you a versatile outfit you can
adjust according to the weather conditions at the time
– and a heap of gear you can use throughout the
rest of the year too! This is so easy to do from the
GearZone site where the clothing sections are broken
down for you.
OutdoorGear have a good range
of ski clothing from thermal underwear to ski pants
and gloves – ranges for men, women and children.
They are also a good source for the 1:50,000 Swiss ski
maps for the ski tourer. This
is the on-line presence of Oswald Bailey –
the range is excellent
and there are regular clearance offers too.
