What will you be wearing on the slopes?

Raekwon · 22-11-2007 5:42pm #1

After seeing a good few clothing recommendation threads in this forum I was just wondering what sort of gear are you guys & girls going to be wearing this season on the slopes?

I'll get the ball rolling..........

Snowboard Gear:

(You can add the price and location of where you bought your stuff for the benefit of other posters).

Board: I don't own one, I rent one out at the resorts - Usually around €70 for one week.

Jacket: Section MFM (10,000gm/mm) - €160 in Tk Maxx

Pants: Burton Shift Cargo (5,000gm/mm) - €60 online + Airwalk Cargo (5,000gm/mm) - €30 on eBay

Boots: DC Sith - €80 in Slovakia (end of season sale)

Goggles: Spy Optic Blizzards - €40 in Austria (end of season sale)

Gloves: Burton (gore-tex) - €45 online + Section (40gm thinsulate) - €30 Tk Maxx

I don't thinks it is necessary to add hats, socks, underwear etc but if you have anything that you found good and could recommend to other people then please add it.

paulharte · 22-11-2007 6:42pm

by any chance is that section one yellow with an embroidered-style "s" on the front?I think I saw it in tk maxx... if so, you is a gangsta!!!!

Ski gear:
Skis: Head carvers - This'll be the 4th season on them. can't rememeber the model. In surprisingly good condition seeing how much use they've got.

Boots Technica - this is the 5th season with them. Well worn in

Jacket: Columbia - bought in Dublin but is quite ok

Pants: I think they are trespass but not sure - bought cheaply in Austria.

Goggles: Cheap Uvex yellow tint goggles - only worn when conditions are really bad.
Sunglasses: Bolle with interchangable lenses. The clear lense is great for Toboggoning

Gloves: Some Cheapo but high spec gloves from a coffee shop in Austria. Need a new pair though but can't find anything decent (or anywhere near as good) under 50€+.

Helmet:Thinking about one!

I also have one of those thermal half-poloneck type things from elvery's and a lightweight Böffler fleece. Best buy last year was a face guard that cost 3€ from the same coffee shop as above. Along with the hat it's basically like wearing a balaclava.

LOL

Hell no! I don't think I would be brave enough to wear something that loud.

This is the jacket I got (below) although the one I bought is solid black. It’s very functional and extremely warm.

Yeah, we must be on the same flight - might see you in the airport - you'll spot me a mile off - i'll be the one dancin' about the place (probably whackin' other unsuspecting passengers with my snowboard

I ended up going for a Giro G10, and its bloody fantastic. Light as a feather, with a whole slew of air-vents, which can be all closed, all open, or some mix thereof depending on conditions.

Given that my wife saw a really nasty accident late last week where a 'boarder hit a skier in the head, full speed, with his board , I can honestly say I will never, ever go skiing without it again.

edmund_f · 19-02-2008 8:58am

G10? - should start an interesting argument, but did you get the audio pads for them?

I got new Quiksilver gloves earlier this month in the Quiksilver outlet store in Kildare Village.
The RRP was €34, outlet price was €27 and they were on 1/2 price sale so I got them for €13.50 and OMFG they are BRILLIANT!!! Wore them everyday for 4 full days boarding and they stayed bone dry.

The snow is supposed to be ok at the moment apparently, 100cm (bottom)-180cm(top), I've never been there before.
I'll post up when I get back with a quick report

Bendihorse · 12-03-2008 10:16am

Theres one good bar at the bottom of the ski slopes, cant remember the name but you wont miss it, its huge and all timber beams and stuff going on. Alas that was only open ONE night while we were there. We were there around March time last year too. Best of luck!

5h4mr0(k · 12-03-2008 11:37am

We went to Chamonix last week. When the flight landed from Dublin landed in Geneva (6+ hours late) there were about 150 bags not on the flight. No option but to go shopping the next morning.

We went to a shop called "Technique Extreme" in Chamonix. Excellent prices. Totally kitted out for about €125! I went a bit mad and spent €50 on a new jacket. They had decent jackets for less than €30. Sallapettes for €10!

If you're going there, check it out. We ended up going back at the end of the week for more gear. Prices on the web site seem to be the same as the shop - don't know about delivery.

Nope, not an instructor, just a snow bum! Why work in the winter when you can just ride? [;

What will you be wearing on the slopes?
