Tips

Buying high quality ski and snowboard gloves often means you're buying a product of quality. Leather has many pros when used in ski gloves and mittens but it also requires some maintenance to keep it performing as it designed.

Ski pants can be long in length and bunched up a bit as per the picture (they should have a bit of length on them, and at least rest on your feet when wearing without shoes) or even a bit more as pictured.

When choosing gloves you need to determine each person's needs. For children, mittens are the best option. For very young children there are mittens that have a zip in them which makes it so much easier for the child to get them on and off.

Like any ski socks, Lenz socks should be worn firm and close to your skin with minimal wrinkles to ensure a smooth surface within your boots. This will minimise any wrinkles cutting off circulation or causing discomfort.

We have many people asking us what is the best footwear or snow boots to wear upon the snow. Be it for your self or your children there are some very affordable options of apres snow boots.

You need your feet to be warm and the correct snow socks and apres snow boots will help blood circulation and help maintain warmth and comfort.

Special detergents need to be used on your waterproof gear to ensure the fabric’s water-repellent coating is not washed away by strong household detergents.

A kids helmet for skiing and snowboarding is one of the most important items you can purchase as a parent to keep your children safe when on the mountain.
