Ski Gear Prices - Borovets

I'm off to Borovets on 26th and want to get some new Ski Wear.

Am I best off buying it when I get out there or should I get some back here in Blighty?

Ideally I want to get a Jacket / new goggles and maybe some boots.

Any help apreciated

Cheers.

Goggles and boots definately - see if you can take a rep / ski instructor / landlord with you to get a better rate than the tourist rate.

Jackets- buy the local brand, excellend quality. If you buy NorthFace / Spyder etc and the prices are too good to be true... then they generally are! Beware of some of the copies.

One of the best jackets I ever bought was from Aldi. Really good quality and only about £30.

I've bought mine off Ebay this year.

The Dare 2 Be range is quite good - they sell this in TK Maxx & Clarks Outlet stores

Goggles I got from Aldi - £8.99

Saloman boots - Decathlon £59
