Buying kit in Borovets

Has anyone bought any skis / boots in Borovets? If so, what makes do they sell and at roughly what price please?

I want to buy skis and boots but don't know whether to buy before I go or to wait until I get there.

Cheers

Lange are really nice boots but usually at a premium.

Orion are the best value skis there cos the ulltra-carvs are really nice and made down the road in Chepelare. Look for some including bindings for £120ish (barter).

Nice tip pimp, will do that. Is the gear much cheaper than the UK?
