Hi all
my 13 y.o had put on quite a bit of weight recently and we going skiing at half term. I am struggling to find any ski trousers that fit him. Does anyone have any suggestions of maybe plus size ski gear? - I think he could fit small mens if they were short leg as he is not tall. He is finding the whole thing stressful - trying on clothes that don't fit.
Thanks

We had a similar problem with DS a couple of years ago, I got a pair in Aldi that were generous at the waist but teenager so the right length for him. He has stretched out now at 15.

Check the Dare2B measurements online. Their sizing is more generous than more traditional ski brands.

And also maybe get a pair with braces so you don't need to worry about the waist size as much. (And if possible a bit of space for thermals!!)

Thanks everyone - have ordered some from mountain warehouse that are short leg so fingers crossed. I suspect I might need to get them altered, not sure how feasible that is but at least it will be around the bottom of the leg and so shouldn't impact the waterproofness.

Try womans as often shorter in legs.
