damian 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 fatty, that post is kinda hard to read. might just be me though. I just started, bought only a shell under which I wear uni qlo Y1,500 thermal pants. So far in the warmth of autumn I have been fine with this. I am snow boarding and that is very strenuous, so perhaps I would be cold if i were skiing. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 As your skiing and therefore not sitting on your ass all day in the snow 1 warmth layer and a shell should be fine. Also you wont need the optional backside zipper that some snowboard pants have. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Whatever kind you buy, try to find something with ventilation zips. They're worth the extra you may pay for them. Being able to adjust your temperature without taking off or putting on is very convenient. Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 If youre skiing try and get some tough material on the inside of each leg as when you wipe out the edges of your skis can slit your pants there. Its easy enough to fix with this tape kind of stuff but why bother. I had just a shell up until this season and it was good. I bought some insulated ones for this season and on a hot day cooked. Definatley agree with the vent stuff. Also if you get bibs (with the straps over your shoulders) make sure you can go to the toilet with out taking the straps off. Strategically placed zips are really useful when you are busting BUSTING Link to post Share on other sites
