Ive been skiing for years worked in the Alps for 10 seasons, personally i have bought stuff from Lidl and Aldi over the last few years, quality has always been very good, helmets from Lidl are brill
just bought a pair of snow boots for my youngers and a ski bag for myself both were £6.99 each and real quailty.
I would have to agree with dave would not buy outer layers such as pants and jackets.the socks,helmets,fleeces and snow boots do look quailty.
Had a Lidl helmet for 3 seasons - (also had a few off piste falls in that time) - cannot fault the helmet...Styling is still spot on and safety elements are required Euro standard.
As for the jackets & salopettes etc ....if you are just starting out and dont want to spend a fortune then these are ideal.
As Del would say 'you know it makes sense Rodders!'
