snow-wear

When choosing the right snow apparel for yourself and your family there are a few things you will need to consider.

Snow clothes can range dramatically in price depending on brand, features, type of water proofing and its rating, breathability and what country the clothing was manufactured or designed in.

Snow jackets, snowboard jackets or ski jackets can range in price from $99 to over $1500.

To choose the jacket that is right for yourself you need to look at how much use you will get out of it. Are you only using this 1 weekend a season or are you planning on doing season’s overseas in this jacket? Snow clothing is an investment and I do believe that well made clothing will last up to 10 years.

Working out the waterproof rating is easy.  It is measured by the amount of water in millimeters that can be held above the fabric before it seeps through. For material to be considered waterproof, it must be rated to at least 1,000mm. Most ski gear sold is at lest 3,000mm ranging to 20,000mm

Don’t compromise on the features and the look you want.

Ski clothing, ski pants or any ski wear is no different to snowboarding clothing, I can’t believe how often people want to know what the difference is.

The only difference is styling. But regardless of styles or trend’s, pick something you love the look of, have the features you want and is in your budget.

Kids ski clothes are one area parents often don’t want to invest a lot of money in as kids grow so quickly. Kids ski wear can range any where for $49 to $299 a piece, again how often they going to use it? On the other hand, who want’s to deal with cold wet kids?

Snow Accessories

Snow goggles:  These are essential for all snowboarders and skiiers.  Its hard to fight back tears from the wind getting in your eyes skiing down the mountain without them.  Even on a sunny day, goggles offer far more protection than sunglasses.  All snow goggles carried in store offer a double lense.  This prevents the goggles from fogging allowing a better air flow.  There are various lense colours. The reflective lenses are even great on a sunny day.  If you need to wear prescription glasses on the snow, you will to buy a pair of 'OTG' Over the Glasses snow goggles.
