I'm looking for new ski clothing for my children and wondering if anyone has found good quality stuff this season and if so what make is it?

My DCs existing skiwear is poivre blanc and lego and both are lovely but would be very expensive new (they were purchased cut price at TK Maxx and on Ebay respectively).

Any website recommendations would be most welcome.

the aldi is stuff is good for kids, it's nice material, with good features like powder skirts and liftpass pockets on the arm etc. and not too expensive, i really rate them. the colours for kids are ok.
our local shop sold out pretty much the day they went on sale, but have a look round you might find some. the brandname is 'crane sports'.

Second Muddy Puddles, but when you can get hold of it, Tchibo is fantastic for the price. Outstanding quality and features.

The H&M/Hennes stuff was good this year. Not too expensive and ds was able to use his ski jacket as a general winter coat. Good price considering it all only gets used 2 weeks max per year.

Thank you everyone for some great suggestions. I'll look into them all.

I like Tog24. We bought jacket, salopettes, thermals and a thick fleece jacket for DD last season in the outlet place in Swindon and she's still in them all this season. I really liked the quality. They also have a place in Bicester and one in Gretna.

We're just back from our hols and ds1 hdad Tog salopettes and a jacket this year and I was very impressed with it. We bought it from the outlet place in Bridgend. It was about £70 for the 2, and it should fit him next year too.

We like Dare2Be stuff for the kids, which I find to be a good spec at a very reaonable price.
