Online places


I must be finding some bad websites but most that I see have a small very small collection of full suits for women. I ran across one today that had only Billabong & Burton. I was not impressed with the Burton too much not just because of the color but it just did not look as though it would be warm enough. Where are some good places online to shop? I am thinking if I go direct to the manufacturer its going to cost even more.

I'm not too sure where you'll find full suits. LL Bean doesn't even seem to sell any which makes me think they aren't very popular. I did find three on altrec.com, but they seem more fashion based not use based. The do have on by Columbia though (which is the cheapest too) which makes me think it would be warm.

I've been searching for a bit now to try to help out and I'm not having much success either. They really don't seem to be as popular any more, so you'll probably continue to struggle for a huge variety because it's not out there as much. The best variety I found was actually on Ebay, but that brings up completely different issues since there's not a stock of set products, sizes, etc.

I have never bought much stuff online, as I usually just decide to hit up the local sporting goods stores and the like. I would buy more clothes online if I could find some better websites, and I absolutely detest Ebay and Amazon style places.

They are just too much hassle and stress to worry about.

You could try Olympia Sports

I bought most of my ski wear through them although I haven't checked for full suits. They sell a lot of the Columbia products, though, and I really like Columbia. They make a lot of lighter weight yet still warm jackets and other items. If you don't have an Olympia near you, they do have a website and their customer service is excellent whether instore or online.

I am looking for a full suit since I am the one that can freeze in air conditioning. I will have to poke around more. I don't shop a ton online so I might have to take a day trip to some local places and see what they have. The hardest problem I get is one that fits well since I am tall.
