Ski wear

My son is going on a school ski trip next feb. I have been looking around for ski wear and for 1 week it is going to cost me a fair packet.. I was wondering if any of you out their have ski wear that you kids have grown out of and are willing to sell. He is 152-158 cms

Thank you
Very Happy Very Happy hope that you can help...

re: Ski wear

TK Maxx is great for kids ski-wear - very reasonably priced.

re: Ski wear

Best bet is to check Ebay for some good bargains. Also Aldi supermarkets every year have very cheep gear as do Tchibo coffee shops,Sport+Soccer. Check out www.skiwear4less.com . There will be plenty of offers around as the season kicks in so dont panic it does not need to cost a small fortune to fit him out. Very Happy

re: Ski wear

franka,
the best place to get ski clothing from is tj maxx, especially just after christmas.i got gloves for quicksliver gloves £15, gor-tex trouser £45 and a mambo jacket for £50, oakly gogles £40 this is by far the cheapest way to get the stuff plus it's all branded quality items.
ps dont go overboard with thermal top extra as i bought loads and never used half of them

re: Ski wear

Our large Asda stores started to do ski gear and it was perfectly good quality. I got my son's stuff from there (6 year old) and it was good quality. I am not bothered about 'fancy names' for him because (as you already know with yours) they outgrow it so soon. Otherwise, as others suggest, TK Maxx and so on.

re: Ski wear

Buy seperates not a suit.

Buy a colour and style that will do as his winter coat.

TK Maxx is excellent.

re: Ski wear


Hear hear. My son will be wearing his again this winter (butdon't think it will stretch to next March) and the bottoms come in great when we are mucking about in the New Forest in the rainy winter months!
