Ski and fleece Jackets
Regular ski jackets are typically priced from $70 to $170. Colour combinations are minimal so matching with pants are easy. Jackets for boys tend to be in darker colours whereas jackets for girls are either light or bright in colour. Some jackets are reversible for a different style. Pricing for fleece jackets start from $30 to $100.
Snow/Ski pants
Pants are typically priced from $50 to $120. Some pants are reversible; so in a way, you are buying two pants for the price of one.
The brand names
