CLOTHING

One of the most common questions asked is, 

What is the best clothing to wear for my lessons?

Keeping in mind this is Scotland and we can have many different weather systems in one day.

Be prepared - saying that once you're out there you quite often don't notice the weather as your enjoying your lessons so much, but Just remember; 

(There's no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing)

Wear thin layers, too much is better than too little and clothing can always be taken off, arms and legs need to be covered at all time.  

Waterproof jacket is a must (this is usually the one piece of clothing everyone has in Scotland), Arrrrr our weather really is dreadfully wet and cold most of the year.

Gloves are a must and need to be worn at all times but don't feel you need to go out and buy special ski gloves you don't the clubs sell £1 magic gloves.

If you don't have waterproof trousers wear leggings or joggers and if the weather is really bad bring a complete change.

     

Don't wear jeans they just attract the water and will be very uncomfortable.

     

Wear thick socks as feet can get cold.

Where is the best places to purchase clothing for ski or snowboard lessons?

Clothing can be found in most of the outdoor sporting shops in and around Glasgow, quiet often bargains are to be had most of the time especially in the spring and summer months. I have given a few suggestions below but there are many more including eBay and big supermarkets.

Greaves (  www.greavessports.com/our-stores  )

Decathlon ( www.decathlon.co.uk)

    

Ellis-Brigham (www.ellis-brigham.com/stores/braehead-ski-glasgow )

 Nevisport (www.nevisport.com  )

Tiso (www.tiso.com/uk_shops/glasgowoutdoorexperience)

Lidl and Aldi quiet often have weeks when they offer really good prices on waterproof trousers, jackets, gloves and helmets.

Most often I direct customers to try TK Max, staff instructors teaching buy clothing from here as the prices are fantastic for the brands on offer.

That is if what you want and need is in the store when you need it, as they can also be seasonal.
