Smash, go to TK and buy yourself some proper ski socks, 2 pairs of Merino wool good once for £9.99 in there. And then only use those horrible tube socks for wearing around the house, as they are of absolutely no use when you are skiing, apart from maybe lighting a fire.

The 1st pair look a bit shiny in the pic...that'd put me off..

Both pairs will almost certainly be fine.

Choose the pair you prefer & that fit you the best...

Sm4sh,
I had a look at them just now, and the Dare2b ones were £50 - have they come off sale or what?

On the grounds of which ones have the biggest discount the first ones may be better, because they're reduced from £90 to £30. But I don't really know. Maybe it doesn't matter?

The Dare2B ones i got from a shop which had them on sale. not the site.
Dare2B do look better. and i brought them first. only brought the second ones because of the RRP price and the sale price.
I guess it dont really matter but i just rather the better pair. i guess if there is no diffrence ill go with the Dare2B ones.
But as commented before about having style... i dont think iv got any when it comes to ski clothes lol
Black & red hat. with my black and blue coat. and black trousers. ahh at least they all have black in them.

Black, red, and blue sounds fine to me Sm4sh. And in any case, as I said before, no-one in Borovets is going to be worrying about how stylish your ski clothes are.

Keep the Dare2B ones if you prefer them. At least you will have made a decision and you can get your money back on the other ones :D

I hope you have a great time and get really hooked on ski-ing, like everyone else on here.

When buying jackets or salo's, 1,500mm to 5000mm is rainproof (will get wet sooner rather than later), 5000mm to 15000mm is weather proof (will get wet eventually) while 15000mm to 30000mm is water proof, Goretex quality, etc. Go for the later, expensive, but worth it long term. :wink:
