For the littlest of children, an all-in-one snowsuit is a great way to ensure they stay snug and cosy whilst having fun in the snow.
For children over five, separate salopettes and a jacket provide a more flexible option and are much easier to negotiate when it comes to toilet and hot chocolate stops!
Mix and match jacket and salopette designs to create your own look, or coordinate colours to create the appearance of a one-piece without the hassle.

Kitting your Children Out for the
Slopes
one piece or two?
Your children’s ski gear needn’t be budget busting – they will probably have grown out of it by next season anyway. However, if you do want to buy them something pricier, get it in the next size up. Getting two seasons of wear for your money can only be a good thing, and after that – pass it down to a younger sibling or friends.
BASE LAYERS
Thermal base layers are a vital piece of kit. It’s these that will be doing the bulk of the work when it comes to keeping your child warm. They can be picked up fairly cheaply on the high street and online. Thermals are in direct contact with your child’s skin so pack a couple of pairs so they can switch to a fresh set half way through the week. Base layers are not just for skiing, they can be worn back in the UK to keep your children snug and warm throughout the rest of the winter.
