Aren't ski clothes cheaper in Europe than in the U.S.? What are some good (but inexpensive) brands?

Question

I'm skiing in Switzerland in a few weeks and debating whether or not to buy clothes here in the States or to wait until I get to Europe.

From what I remember, it seemed like ski clothes were cheaper in Europe, but I could be wrong.

Thanks in advance guys!

Answer 1

hmm... don't know about shopping in europe, i think the clothing would be more expensive not cheaper. Burton is the best ski brand

Answer 2

I have just come back from Verbier in Switzerland and I would say no, I went skiing in Lake Tahoe last year and found everything was cheaper, and its true about the dollar thing ^

Its according what your after, Orage do some nice kit.

look on www.backcountry.com or the sister company www.tramdock.com they usually stock great brands and always have sales on.

Im from the uk and when I buy new gear I buy from them, even with the shipping (which is alot) I save a huge ammount.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure there not because our dollar is nothing there.

Answer 4

This ebay seller is great for Northface or Spyder directly from China, which is where it is made by the way

I've bought suits for me and my wife and they are fantastic

Not Knockoffs either
