Can hubby wear a ski suit or would he be laughed off the slopes? We are going to Austria at Christmas and are trying to save money where possible.
The suit is mainly black, in ace condition and really suits him, it actually looks almost new.
Opinions, please.

Nothing wrong with a nice draught proof all in one. I still see quite a few being worn in various resorts, so go for it :wink:

:thumbup:
Personally have always preferred a one piece.
Ignore those fashionistas who say they are romper suits etc.
Except neon yellow/pink/purple etc of course, these need avoiding - threw my neon yellow/pink/purple Degree 7 away a few years ago. :mrgreen:
Friend of my OH's saw it on the washing line and laughed - result.
Was bought a gorgeous red and grey Descente which has years of life left in it.
:lol:

It all depends on the resort you are visiting I reckon. They are now called "Onesie's" and are worn by teenage ski gods with rubber knees and a snowboard attached to each foot.

Example here:

Can he cut it with the kids, or will a one piece make him look like HRH in his grey boiler suit (remember the photos?)

Alternative is to get down to HH/Mountain Warehouse/Regatta/D2B Outlet store and kit out in last years colours for very little cash :D
