Boarding/skiing jackets?

[Snax]

I will have had a look in there but nothing really caught my eye as most of it was to bold and vibrant or they didn't have my size and there is usually a reason why they are discounted so heavily. I believe its due to those jackets not meeting the quality standards and have small problems i.e. stitching. Quote me if i am wrong though

That jacket i am pretty set on as i would also be able to wear as an every day jacket.

if you can spare 20 mins to have a rummage, the ski gear there is great if you know what you are looking for i.e. the features that are important - ski skirts, venting and reinforcement in the correct places.

i think the clothes are normally just last season's stuff.

if you use the layered approach, you will be buying a shell jacket which is waterproof with a snow skirt that fits well (very important for beginners). This should act very well as an everyday coat.
