Ski Pants

Hi all

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this topic, but here goes.

With the winter observing season about to fall on us, yes I know it felt like it the past few months, but it was really summer, anyhow. I am considering investing in a pair of ski pants, remembering the cold legs from last year, and I'm wondering how many other observers wear them and if they are worth the investment. I think they are.

Let me know.

I bought an excellent pair of snowboarding pants in TK Max about 3 years ago
and have found them invaluable on cold nights.
If I recall they were only about 50 euro too.

I've been meaning to get these over the years but never got around to it.
I must do so.

Imminent house move in the next few weeks will necesitate emptying wardrobes and attic etc. Hopefull that I may find my old Salopettes and ski jacket in a black sack buried somewhere :laugh:

I got ski pants a few years ago (for a trip to see the Alaska Aurora) and they worked great at below -20 deg C.

I would not normally wear them here, even in winter, as I would find them too warm,

I had a pair of long johns once (remember those?) but lost them years ago. Brilliant for the cold nights. Now I just wear cottom tracksuit bottoms under my outer leg garment (usually cord trousers). I don't know of any place near Tullamore that would sell ski pants.
