Where do you buy ski gear for kids?

Having got back from our half term, I'm getting excited about next year's skiing trip.

My children's ski gear will be too small by them (although my daughter can wear my son's old stuff). Where do you buy your children's ski gear? I like the stuff on www.vikingkids.co.uk but their website is super clunky and whenever I try to add anything it tells me it's out of stock.

My husband will get irritable if I spend too much (although "too much" is difficult to define - let's just say that a £200 jacket from Spyder is out).

Oh and polarn o Pyret is usually huge so lasts a good 2-3 years often.

I got a couple of snowsuits from Sports Direct for about £15 each last year and also got base layers and socks from there. Gloves from Decathlon, snow boots from Lidl, helmets from Aldi.

Thanks all. I ended up ordering some stuff from Muddy Puddles - I'd originally thought they were too expensive but the ski jackets were reduced from £75 to £40, with the discount MPA17K.

See you are sorted now but wanted to add to the shouts of ebay - I once got a pristine North Face jacket for under a tenner! I've had stuff from Muddy Puddles before and it's also worth looking at Little Trekkers sale as they sometimes have good bargains.

Otherwise for new, Next ski gear was always really good and had those built in alarm thingies. We aren't a skiing family but we live in Scotland so it was always good to have ski stuff for sledging and is also toasty for watching the rugby in as the stadiums are usually freezing :)

I think H&M do gear as well but can't confirm what the quality is like.
