Pretty sure the purple and green version is the one Graham Bell was wearing on the last Ski Sunday.

I know cos commented to my missus on the appalling 80's Nevica look... 😀

Ta. That's the one Graham Bell was wearing in this week's Ski Sunday - he's "brand development director" or somesuch for Nevica, so sports quite a bit of their gear on screen...

Black. The others are a bit nasty. The [b]B[/b]aiter was what sold it for me, I can just leave it at work as a spare coat 🙂

[edit]the coat, not the Baiter!

Some good prices on Rab stuff on there too.

I am also resisting, despite my Gore Tex jacket being 20 years old.

Cheers for the PSA, old school here we come!

Nevica ain't what it used to be quality wise (doubting the value at £160 RRP) but at worst it'll be nice for washing the bike!

Some sizes were gone but now showing again - so either they are updating, restocking, or the site allocated stock to a basket session then times out and releases it again.

What is the sizing like on them?

I am a medium North Face but don't want it to be too tight for the slopes.

(My wife said just get it as we are planning on going away next year anyway)

DD, you'll need a medium I think, just been to try some on and a medium fit me perfectly. Looks ok, nice touches in terms of fleecy liners for pockets and so on, but the material looks quite thin and the shoulder don't seem to have any reinforcements. Wouldn't bet on it lasting more than a few days if used for proper skiing, but if you just want it for knocking around it's not bad at all

Anyone know what Haglofs sizing is like?

Is the XXL really like XXL or more similar to XXL Italian cycing jerseys?

Sounds like it involves bouncing off rocks!

Well it involves carrying skis over your shoulder, and may involve falling over at times 😉

forgot to mention that the "pit zips" are not actually pit zips, they;re more or less where your rucksack straps will go...

Yay! Mine has just turned up - gotta say I am happy with that - it seems a pretty well featured jacket and fits nicely.

And I got a free Sports Direct mug too - it looks like it will take about a pint of coffee at a go 🙂

It has a barmy handle - a gorilla could sip his Darjeeling out of one of those no problem.

They must have restocked. A bargain but I can't really buy two jackets in two days - even if I get another mug!

Yeah mine smells too - just leaving it out to air it. Otherwise it's getting bunged in the wash. I guess it is some fabric preservative or something?

Just been out in mine - nice and warm and kept me dry in a rain storm.

Then I put my hands in the pockets and mmmm, fluffy - lovely snug and fluffy pocket inners.

Very impressed for £20.

Even has a clip for headphones too.

Hood a tad on the short side though.

primark ski/ board jackets are pretty good too. Oxford Street has plain ( blue i think) Ski / Boarding jackets for £20 reduced from 40 i think Loads yesterday. They have matching pants too. I got a board jacket last year reduced and have riden it on dryslopes and it's brilliant. Feels a bit cheap and i was concerned it would be too hot. loads of pockets and really breathable. Mine even has a soft google pocket inside and MP3 holder an hole. Looks great too. When i've used it on the dryslope I forgot i had it on, and although cold the weather wasn't freezing. Salo has a removable hood and stash pockets near the wrists. Also it has proven to be tough. I Had a few dryslope falls and no problems there. Mines a lovely oversized cut too although i got the size larger really)

Although the no fear jackets look great (no experience though0 bear in mind they are not actually £150 jackets reduced to £40. they are basic jackets similar to the primark ones. slthough probably still a good buy. I've had other no fear stuff and i would say it's all been really good.

I tried some cheap board pants on in Sports direct (not sure of brand but not np fear) and tbh they felt like wearing multiple layers of stiff bin bags.

TBH for £50 say, best bet is TKMaxx.. or maybe the others mentioned above second

for £20 bargain!!
