MEY MEY’S Men's Fashion Picks For The Slopes

by MeyMey (January 15, 2007)

Alright boys, here is a fast and easy checklist for the slopes! Stay in style with my easy to follow guide of staying sizzling hot, in the winter cold!

  1.  Ski’s / Snowboard – whatever floats your boat
  2. Ski / Snowboard bag (optional)
  3. Duffel Bag (for your gear)
  4. Oakley Goggles are always a good way to block the snow, shade the sun and look fantastic (consider over-the-glasses goggles if you wear glasses)
  5. Helmet (Don’t be too cool for this, you can’t go wrong with safety)
  6. Sunglasses – Aviators, big lens’, wrap around lens’ (for when you step off the slopes)
  7.  Walkie Talkie

Ski Clothing:

Ski pants are necessary to keep you warm and comfortable on the slopes, but you don't need to sacrifice fashion for function. Men’s ski pants come in a variety of great styles and will always shield your legs from the harsh winter elements. You can't go wrong with the classic black ski pant - they'll match any jacket and will keep you warm through the entire ski season. That's why the Skea Fleece-Backed Class Ski Pants are a great buy. Very versatile, these ski pants will keep you warm. Made out of tough fabric, these ski pants are durable, so they'll last you a long time.
The Salomon Snowtrip Ski Pant are softshell pants with a sleek masculine look, but you aren't sacrificing any function for fashion. Special fabric makes these softshell pants completely waterproof, but they're breathable too. An internal waist-band adjustment makes for the optimal fit, and extra features like snow gaiters keep the powder out and scuff guards that make these pants a long lasting investment.

For a hot Ski Jacket, you don’t necessarily need to hit all the designers for a hot look on the slopes (although not the worst Idea).  You can definitely find stylish and reasonable ski wear from Salomon, Spyder, and Descente. 

Now that I have given you men the basics, you’ll be on your way to ski country in no time!
