mens patterned fleece jackets:Expensive ski wear is (not always) the best ski wear

Good ski wear does not have to be expensive. Even in discount stores you can now find functional ski wear which is sufficient for a 1-week ski holiday – however, you may find that once your ski trousers or ski jacket have been washed, that the material becomes less waterproof. Quality brands such as Peak Performance, Atomic and The North Face offer more expensive ski wear with optimal fit and freedom of movement – this ski wear will last you a good number of ski season even after washing or dry cleaning. So more expensive generally means your ski wear will last longer. If you like a new look every ski season, then no need really to invest 100s of pounds for your ski jacket or ski trousers.

Freedom of movement is vital

When skiing you are constantly in motion whatever your level. It is important that your ski wear does not prevent you from complete freedom of movement. When trying on a new ski suit, ski jacket or ski trousers, imagine you are already on your ski holidays and bend down to reach your feet, swing your arms from right to left to make sure you do not feel confined and restricted in your movements. Some modern ski wear is made with very light and elastic materials that provide even greater freedom of movement.

Ski wear trends

Over the years ski wear trends, just like fashion trends, have come and gone and we now look back at the 1970s one-piece ski suits for adults with disbelief – much like many other fashion trends. If you want to be among the hippest skiers and snowboarders on the slopes for the season 2015-2016, bright, colorful ski jackets and ski trousers are essential. Black, brown or gray are out of the question. Your ski goggles must be rimless and extra-wide with funky, bright designs and why not treat yourself to an original ski mask.
