DH's work organises team building away days in March, skiing in French Alps... There will be his bosses and people who work for him, most of them younger than DH and regular skiers. DH is really looking forward to this, although he didn't ski for 20 years. He identified pieces of gear he could rent or borrow, but the suit seems to be the thing he needs to buy as he is very tall. I never did alpine ski because of knee injury, so I have no idea where to start. DH, literally, hides away.
I looked at Tkmaxx and Decatlon but can't begin to understand what criteria to apply and what to aim for. There are prices from £350 t0 £35. I understand I should resist the temptation to buy the cheapest, but what to put the money into? One important thing is not to be too cold or hot, as DH won't be able to break away from the group and change clothes. DH doesn't need to look super cool, but just credible and switched on, to not make anyone think of his age.
Which brands? What technicalities to look for? Is a light dawn jacket OK?
