True to be older and wiser has it's advantages including our one piece suits. The amazing thing is they still fit after ten years. Hadn't been following the trend in ski fashion, but I predict the industry WILL bring the one piece back as it makes sense to stay warm dry and toasty so you can stay out on the slopes enjoying the adrenalin. In fashion in general what goes around comes back around so when all the one piece ski suits of yesteryear are sufficiently extinct the new round will be all over the slopes in "21st century colors and technology.

 

By the way for all those who didn't figure it out for themselves...take your arms out of the sleeves and shove the sleeves down the pant legs when you need to "sit" , the upper part of your one piece sort of rolls inward and down the back of the pants part and this way everything stays clean and dry and out of your way... essentially no different than when just pulling down your pants...and both hands are free to use...duh.....



Funny!  Most women are done with one piece suits.  Form men they are rockin' !  A few are making them, but no real style yet.  JMO.  Be good!

If you can ski, and are mature...........you don't frickin' care.  BTW, all the youngers at Bachelor love my suits.........or is it just me.   Lifties told me I am best dressed on the Mt.!  They enjoy the classic suits.  Bring a smile, and a onesie!  That includes park rats!  Hat's off to you!  Back to the shop! :-)

I still have my Killy one piece and bring it with me if I am going to Canada and real cold (-10 F or colder) is forecast. Absolutely the warmest ski outfit I have ever owned. I have been around long enough to have seen that every fashion returns at some point.

Who cares if one-piece suits aren't fashionable?  On powder days they are warm, they keep the snow and wind out of your tail, black with some shade of gray I can't pronounce is never a "last seasons" color, and clothing from TNF seems to last forever.

I would love to buy a vintage one piece.  If anyone has one for sale in XL, XXL, or 3XL, please contact me.

Thank you.  I have a really nice Nils Entrant suit in charcoal with subtle accents that has maybe 400 days on it since I bought it in 1992 and looks like new (except for a couple of gate-banging streaks on the sleeves).  At my age (64), I'll be damned if I'll pop $400 just so the kids won't snicker behind my back.  IMHO, the newer two-piece stuff just looks like old-school snowboarder wear slimmed down a bit, with the price jacked up.  In the lodge?  Top down, sleeves tied around waist, no problem.

 

Retro race day?  Spyder RadPads and Schneider padded slalom pants...
