Regatta Samaris

RRP €75.00

regatta.com

Where everyday trainers meet full on snow boots, these waterproof, hard wearing and cushioned mid-height hiking boots from Regatta are perfect for apres ski activities. The non-slip XLT sole is perfect for snowy and icy pathways and they’re grippy enough to pull sledges up hills. The hook and loop fastener makes it easy to put them on and take them off and they come in four different colour options too.

Picture organic - West Bib / Daumy JKT

RRP €120.00 / €140.00

picture-organic-clothing.com

Picture Organic pay as much attenion to their kids wear as they do their adult range. As we’ve come to expect from Picture, everything is made as sustainably and ethically as possible and the full children’s range features their Grow-With-Me system. This allows you to snip a red thread inside each jacket or pair of pants to expand the gaiters and cuffs to grow it by one full size. That’ll see you an extra winter season at least. Don’t worry boys, Picture have done you proud too. The Westy bib pants come in two different colours and feature Lycra stretch panels so they’ll never feel restrictive or uncomfortable. Of course there’s Grow-With-Me technology to help extend their life as you have that unexpected growth spirt plus warm and dry 10k breathability and waterproofing for when the weather comes in. The straps are adjustable too! Add in the Daumy jacket also featuring wrist gaiters, loads of pockets, a snow skirt and taped seams in one of three different colour ways to complete your perfect mountain outfit.

Picture organic - West PT / Jananas JKT

RRP €100.00 / €130.00

picture-organic-clothing.com

It’s not always necessary for children’s ski wear to feature fluro colours and super heroes. Sometimes children’s ski wear can look just like adult’s ski wear but with smaller proportions. These girls Westy pants come in ten (yes, ten!) different colour ways, have 10k breathability and 10k waterproofness and the gaiters at the bottom feature an anti-slip elastic. The waist is adjustable, there’s taped seams plus zip and snap pocket openings to make life easier while you’re rummaging for sweets. Combine them with the Jananas jacket available in one of three colours, which has the same breathability and waterproof rating, more Grow-With-Me functionality and a very clever adjustable hood which literally moves with your head to keep your view entirely unobstructed. Once again the seams are taped, there’s wrist gainers with thumbholes, a snow skirt a load of handy pockets. Head to Hubert Sports in Morzine to view the Picture Organic kids collection.

Kluster

RRP €17.90

klustermagnets.com

There’s nothing like a fun game to enhance a ski holiday and Kluster offers up lightweight, easily transportable fun for all the family. The aim here is to get rid of all your magnetic rocks first and that demands strategy and skill as the magnetic fields interact with each other. You can literally play Kulster anywhere as the whole game is carried in a fabric bag. Lay the cord on any surface, divide the magnets between all players and begin to lay them in the play area without letting the magnets kluster together. If you cause a kluster, you take all the clustered stones and the first player to set down all their stones, wins! Warning, this game does become addictive and can be easily adapted to become a drinking game once the small people are in bed.

Dragon DXT OTG

RRP €55.00

europe.dragonalliance.com

Designed by Dragon Alliance to bridge those mini goggles you’ll buy for your small people in advance of their first ski holiday and a full-blown adult alternative, these mid-sized goggles are perfect for tweens, teens and those with a smaller than average head.
