Ski jackets

[SlumMumBum]

Has anyone got any tips on where to get nice affordable ski jackets? Budget is no more than £100. I've been searching for weeks and have no clue where I can get something of good quality that will last me a good few years.

Sports Direct have a sale on- branded jackets at very reasonable prices.

Decathlon is your friend for skiwear (TKMaxx also does some but not usually at this time of year).

All of the above plus Vinted.

Dare2be, trespass, tkmaxx, decathlon, Blacks. Go for waterproof and windproof, zip pockets, inner cuffs, packable hood. You may get lucky at Snow and Rock or Ellis Brigham on sales.

Another vote for Decathlon, reasonably priced and good quality with a good range of styles (although not looked this year.)

I feel your pain- decided on a last minute ski holiday & a very poor selection available.

I ended up with a jacket from trespass - still looking for salopettes though.

Mountain warehouse and go outdoors locally had a selection. Sports direct none to try on.

Sno n Rock and Decathlon.
I always buy plain black salopettes and change my jacket with fashion/colour/size/conditions over the years rather than matching top and bottom.

Have a look at Surfanic. I picked up a lovely one there for dd pre-COVID which she has, sadly, not had a chance to wear yet. She bought salopettes in Decathlon - they have a good range of skiwear to suit all budgets.

Go outdoors

Sorry. Go Outdoors the shop. It was not an instruction.

I went to Lapland in Dec and bought a new ski jacket from eBay ( there are shops on there ) for £45 from dare2be - really nice black one with a fur hood

You can return it within 30 days if it's not right.

TK Maxx often have nice ones online.

Aldi have their ski wear online atm

Decathlon. Totally fab and really cheap.

I love my volcom one was about £150 in a sale about 3 years ago they are a tad expensive - should be able to get a decent priced one off eBay.

Bonfire is my 2nd go to, animal and Roxy used to do some great stuff but I’ve heard the quality isn’t that great anymore not like my Roxy snowboarding trousers that are 14 years old

Dd has one from dareto it was from go outdoor was about £70 she loves it

I wear a 3 in one jacket from mountain warehouse - it's properly waterproof unlike ski jackets and more useful off the slopes

Try Dare2b they have a nice selection

Dare2B are good and not at all spendy, also decathlon. A lot of ski wear is actually really cheap these days. There are some really high end brands but honestly I rarely see them on the slopes these days. As long as the jacket is windproof and waterproof and has the little pocket on the left arm to fit your ski pass in you should be good. Depends what time of year you are going but anytime later on in the season (March) you don't want anything too warm anyhow. You can always layer up underneath.

Columbia have a few in their sale at £100 or around that price and their stuff is always good quality. Depends on what size or style you're looking for.

Zalando sale might be worth a look.

I have this, it's great value for money, but if you want to wear layers to up a size, I'm a 16-18 and the 18 fits perfectly. www.blacks.co.uk/15910887/the-edge-women-s-nevada-snow-jacket-15910887

Brilliant - thanks for the replies. That gives me heaps of ideas!
