We have come up with 9 handy hints to make your skiing shopping as easy as possible.
1. Ensure you know what size you are. If you try lots of different jackets in different sizes it can be impossible to find one you want. A ski jacket should fit comfortably on the body however not restricting movement of the arms and body.
2. Comfortable with layers. It is important to ensure that your jacket can fit comfortably with multiple layers of clothing underneath. The best way to keep warm is by layering so your jacket should be comfortable enough to be worn over a fleece jacket and t-shirts. The idea is not to be bulky but warm.
3. Wind proofing. It is best to buy a jacket which is wind proof. They are normally made from synthetic, tightly woven material which stops wind from going through the fabric.
4. Waterproof. There are many different types of textiles which ski jackets are made from. They have a variety of coatings which prevent moisture from soaking the layers underneath. When skiing it is essential to stay dry and comfortable.
5. Zippered Pockets. Zipped pockets are an essential when it comes to purchasing a ski jacket. It’s important to keep your hands free to grip the poles to make sure you are skiing to your fullest potential. You need somewhere to keep your valuables when on the slopes and the last thing you want to lose is your wallet!
6. Glove or Mitten clips. Make sure you buy a jacket which have glove or mitten clips at the end of the sleeves. This means that you can remove your gloves quickly when you are in desperate need of a hot chocolate!
7. Sleeve construction. The cold can get in by all places so it essential to make sure that you are covered. Check that the sleeves are elasticated as well as the straight outer-cuff.
8. Zip past your neck. Try and find a jacket which has a zip up front that goes past your neck. By having this you can tuck a neck scarf into the jacket. This will ensure that cold breezes are prevented when going down the slope.
9. Matching. If you want to make a statement on the slopes then go for a jacket that matches your other ski equipment. You may have already purchased your ski trousers so go for something that matches.
Choosing any ski equipment can be difficult however if you follow these easy steps you can guarantee a happy skiing holiday.
