ski cloths used everyday?

[gmcunni]

do you use your ski jacket, gloves, pants, etc exclusively for skiing or do you wear them any time you are out in the cold and snow?

me, i have a bit of a jacket fetish. way too many jackets and pullovers in my closet. my ski jackets are used almost exclusively for skiing. occasionally under the harshest conditions i might thrown on my "snowy day" ski jacket for everyday use.

I also have enough of a "coat quiver" that my on hill and off hill outerwear are different about 98% of the time

The 2% where its the same tnds to be on those days when I'm not on the hill and the weather is REALLY sh$tty out and I need full bore Gore Tex coverage

Jackets are a free-for-all; I wear what my mood calls for. It's not too often that I'm playing in the snow outside of skiing so for general, everyday usage, I do not use my ski gloves/mittens or pants. But on the rare occasion that I am in the snow, then yes, I use the same stuff.

I only have one winter jacket and that is my ski jacket. I always feel like I am in the extreme minority on that one but I see no reason to purchase additional jackets for one season. My ski gloves, pants, neck warmer, etc. do occasionally go on but only when it is super cold out and usually only for shoveling out the car or walking the dog when real feel temps hit zero or below.

I sometimes wear my ski jacket or fleeces around town..the same with my bathing suit..clothes are clothes..on warm ski days like yesterday I just wear a polo shirt and my shell so I wear my work/golf clothes for skiing as well..

Same for me. I wear my ski jacket to school almost the whole winter.

I have two jackets for skiing, hard shell and soft shell. Both get used in everyday life depending on temperature.

Aside from the fact that you are, after all, a man , your ski jacket probably cost as much as my multiple jackets put together. Jackets are an accessory to me, and since I haven't paid more than $90 for any of them (most are under $50), I don't feel bad for owning a few. They also meet different needs: uninsulated softshell, windblock fleece, waterproof softshell, hardshell. Each serves a different purpose, and I've worn all separately for skiing.

My Goretex coat I only use for skiing, fleeces and different layers I wear everyday.

I'll wear my ski jacket on only the coldest of days around town, and only when really cold or wet when skiing. My wind blocker fleece has sorta become my everyday jacket all winter. I wear it a lot skiing and around town.

i was drumming in my snowboard pants Saturday.... Didn't have enough time to change between riding and drumming...

I have a "ski jacket", "winter jacket" and outdoor yard jacket. There is still yard work to do just before the ground freezes and when the last snow patch melts..... my yard jackets get worn down fast.

Once the winter jacket shows signs of wear and tear it becomes the "new" outdoor yard jacket. Either the ski jacket becomes the next winter jacket or I get a brand new jacket.

I use my goretex for skiing exclusively. I bought it in 99 and it going strong. Everything starts out as skiing only. After it looses its dextarity I start wearing them around town walking the dog stuff like that.

 

[ERJ-145CA]

My ski jacket is also my winter jacket so I wear it all winter long. My base layers, ski socks and ski pants I only wear when I'm skiing.

Wow from 1999..dang..

 

[freezorburn]

I use ski clothes for skiing, Snowmobile clothes for snomobiling. Street clothes for every day life. I don't interchange anything. Everything stays with it's intended purpose, Except underware.

Agreed. My ski jacket also serves as my all around winter coat as well.

 

[bvibert]

I wear my ski jacket all year long, even in the summer.

 

[hardline]

i have no less than 7 jacket/vest. each has specific use. there is some overlap on really cold days.
