| This was fashionable on the slopes 15 years ago - honest! |
So here is my kids wardrobe wishlist:
Kids Ski wardrobe from Polarn O. Pyret by astrongcoffee on Polyvore
The matching ski jacket has been made with a lot of thought. It comes with a detachable snow shirt that can be attached to the snow trousers. Once again this is a feature that is very handy if you fall as it stops snow going down the back of your trousers!
You can see by the photo of me skiing that I wear mittens instead of gloves, so I would also chose these zip up mittens for my boys. I have had both ski gloves and mittens and I believe the mittens are a better choice. Firstly they are a lot easier to put on. Ski gloves are really bulky and well padded so they are hard to get on and then it isn't that easy to bend your fingers. I was advised by an instructor that mittens are easier and have never looked back.
I really like these colourful base layers. I like that the striped top is longer at the back, meaning that your little ones back will still be warm and cozy when you bend over. These would also be good in a variety of sports, not just skiing. I would have to pair it with these funky long johns.
On the basis that scarves can get caught on things, unravel and can also be bulky, I really like this neckwarmer as an alternative. It is made from merino wool too so it would be lovely and soft.
The fur trimmed hats are also on my wishlist as if it is really cold the long ear flaps will keep your little ones ears warm.
Last but not least, I had to add this curious clouds t-shirt to my wishlist as I just love the design. Who says that boys clothes have to be plain and boring!
So that is my kids ski wish list. Have I missed anything? What are your must haves to go skiing?

I can't wait to take my two skiing - not just yet, given as one is due this Christmas but once they're both mobile it's on my list of must-dos :)
Although I often mourn the baby phase, it is exciting to think we can do more fun stuff soon. x
I love the final shot! That was me many times over on our last ski trip (especially after a gluwein or two....)
Do you know I never even drunk when I went skiing. As for après ski I was so exhausted I'd want to sleep at 6!
Good advice. I must admit we don't go skiing anymore because of the expenses and risks :(
I have never been skiing but would love to, great advice
Neevr been skiing but love watching it on TV xxx
The large expense has caused me to wait until the kids are a bit bigger to go, would hate to spend that money and them not like it x
They make it look so easy!
Thanks
They do! & they go so fast xxx
Not been skiing for a while, you have me feeling all nostalgic.
Oh I so want to go skiing again - Thanks for sharing this
the last photo was me every day when i went skiing & my poor ankle had had enough!
looks good never been
Cute clothes, think some of it would be on my wish list too! Never been skiing. I just know that I am the kind of person to be air-lifted off straight away and end up with a broken leg!
I love skiing! I always end up so hot though due to all the exertion so a headband to soak up forehead sweat is an essential for me. I said I was hotter all week skiing than I was all week in Las Vegas (due to all the aircon there).
I've never been skiing but I would really love to go!
I've never been ski-ing but my son is rather good. He needs better clothing though.
Nice article.
Looks like a good selection. Have fun!
I would love to go skiing!
I hate the cold but have always wanted to go skiing. The kids ski clothes look very stylish.
love those kiddies outfits- funky, fashionable and practical
Only ever been skiing once, when I was about 12 on a dry ski slope. I think you have everything there!
i have never skied but my hubby loves it x
fantastic
Have never been skiing - always wanted to go, looks like you had a lot of fun!
These look very appealing - they should be in adult sizes
Have never been skiing before as scared someone will get injured. Polarn O.Pyret have some great clothes
Great looking skiing outfits for the kids, what an exciting hobby you have!
We've never been interested in going skiing, but ski clothes are great for the really cold weather!
Wish I could still ski but arthritis stops that now....so glad I taught my family to ski though...another generation enjoying it. Sure do need the proper clothing for it too...x
Not a skier myself but you seem to have covered all the essentials.
Would love to start skiing!
I've never been skiing but I did snowboard once. It was awful. I'd love to try skiing now I'm a bit older- maybe start at an indoor slope :) x
ive never been skiing but it looks really fun. i dont think i would be very good at it though! I like the look of these essentials :-)
I have horrid memories of skiing - first day of a week long trip and I smack my knee on a rock and tear all the ligaments in my right knee. Never dared try again but might have to pluck up the courage :)
skiing is one of the most exhausting and exhilirating things I can think of doing. Great post
hope to sski one day
I've never been skiing and am eternally clumsy, but would love to try anyway, it would be fun!
I love the base layer top with the blue, black and white pattern
Totally agree - not helped by the fact I zig zag a lot!
Oh no - how awful x
You could be like Bridget Jones on the ski lift ;-)
I tried snowboarding and there were tears!
Yes skiing is a bit like marmite I think
had.... and maybe have again in a few years. It is an expensive hobby!
I love their clothes - so colourful
Yes I would love stripey long johns!
It is very different from a beach holiday, but lots of fun x
lol, I can believe that
"I really like these colourful base layers." Its also good to know whos is who if you have a few children around the same size, plus it makes you more noticable if you were to go missing/have an accident. Fab post! Will be using these tips at my work place. :)
I like the photo where you have fallen over, something everyone who skis does!
i love skiing! only ever went once for a week with school which was about 19 years ago, but i loved every minute of it, would love to do it again though!
I like the clouds T-shirt too - my grandson would like it
Great choices, I'd love to take my lot skiing
I would love to try skiing, looks like great fun x
Never been skiing!
I loved skiing, just the best feeling. Trying to remember must haves, good socks. Rather prosaic I know, but essential.
It must cost a fortune to kit out for a skiing trip.
ive never been skiing would love to but think im to old to learn.
Great selection of clothes - mittens also important for snowman making in my experience!
i haven't been skiing in years - this looks like so much fun. and great choice of clothes! :) faye -+
I've never been skiing but I can't help wondering if some of that gear might be useful for this arctic UK winter we've been promised! :)
Going skiing next year, this is really useful thanks.
i've never been able to go skiing, but this kit looks super awesome.
Great skiing things for kids,I'd love to take my little one.
Great items for kids, maybe one day I will go with my little boy
Love the neckwarmer - ideal!!
I've never been skiing, I'd love to but don't think I'd be much use!
I would love to go skiing some day...it looks such fun
Great selection. I loved skiing. I agree about a neckwarmer rather than a scarf. Better still would be one that unzipped in case you get too hot.

great review and items, extra padding on the knees is a good idea.
I'd love to go on a ski holiday, with the right gear of course, and insurance!!
I've never been on a ski holiday before, fab review!
Fab review!
Love the look of the child skiing jacket...may be useful this winter at home..great review
Love the fur trimmed hats 😊
Brilliant review
I've never been skiing, nor ever wanted to! But you seem to have covered everything, assuming you are taking a good pair of sunglasses!
Great review and love the kids clothes .. wishing for snow!
ive not beeen skiing but would love to but think im too long in the tooth now
great review as always
Great Review! I've never been skiing but would love to go!
Thanks for the review - I was overwhelmed by all the stuff we would need to go skiing :)
Very helpful review!!!!!!! I have never been skiing but I hope we will go in the future.
I've never wanted to ski, but would love the base layers to keep me warm.
I've always fancied trying skiing - might try it when the kids are a bit older (they're 7 and 5). Some of this gear would be pretty useful for the British winter. It's freezing already!!
I would love to try skiing!
Very stylish
I just wish I had taken the to try when I was younger, it looks so much fun
We are going skiing this year, thanks for tips.
We got our kids all in one snowsuits
Really useful info! Thanks :)
really exciting thanks
Wish I could ski.
great info, all kitted out here x x x
fantastic! Love the pull over with the clouds on!
I like the zip up mittens
Never been skiing, but loving the zip up mittens, anything to make wrapping up easier! x
Kids love Skiing from such an early age so its great to get them kitted out with warm ski essentials love the pieces you had chosen
I've never been skiing, it scares me a bit but I love snow and wrapping up to explore it. So found some of the items interesting, especially the mittens.
Lovely ski clothes - even if you don't ski! :)
I love that tshirt. Im going to look for one in pink!
gorgeous clothes
Wish I could Ski!!!
Great competition as winter approaches :)
wow looks amazing would love to learn to ski
don't think I could ever go skiing, the sound of walking in the snow makes me cringe it sends shivers down my spine and gives me goose bumps.
Would so love to go skiing, one day maybe x
Love the pictures
These are all great selections! I haven't been skiing in years, this really makes me want to go again!
I have never been skiing and pics like this make me want to try x
Awesome pics! I'd definitely say mittens are a better choice than gloves, I've heard a lot of my friends say this who go skiing every year.
inflatable crash jacket?! I know I would need one if I went. The clothes you have picked above look great
Looks amazing, great pics too, & you all had fun.
Great pics and clothes choices :) x
pics look nice and cold
Skiing looks amazing but I'd be too scared to go!
Look like you went down with a bump
