I am a very skinny guy and I recently purchased a pair of cold gear under armor men's tights size small, for something to wear under my clothes when I go skiing. I tried them on and it felt like they didn't fit right at all, like they didn't give me the compression I needed. SO I went and returned them. I am pretty sure the kids' size will be wayy to short so I was wondering if it would be alright to get the womens cold gear tights. Is there anything drastically different gender-wise between them, or would they work?

nope i own womens mens and kids under armours becuase i just buy whichever feels best and to tell you the truth the womens are cut kind of werdly for muscularish women so they'd probably fit a small man fine. just make sure it dones't say womens anywhere on it (like the back little oval thing.)

Skiing is a very popular sport in countries that have a cold climate. Often compared to running and swimming as a cardio vascular workout, it is no wonder that many prefer to engage in this activity to stay fit and warm.

The reason why these three are similar is because health professionals consider this to be different forms of aerobic exercise. People will have to exert a lot of physical effort and use up a lot of oxygen to keep moving. 

The health benefits of skiing isn't that different from any other physical exercise that you can engage in. The trick is to do it for at least 20 minutes a day or longer and three times a week or more to stay in good shape.

One benefit then of skiing is that it improves the individual’s circulatory system. This increases alertness making it easy for the person to respond to anything or perform normal duties with minimal effort.

Aerobic activities such as skiing helps keeps the tissues functioning properly as well as flow of blood in the body. This prevents the individual from succumbing to certain heart diseases such as a stroke or high blood pressure.

Another benefit of skiing is that it helps regulate the HDL or good cholesterol in the body. This allows the body to get rid of LDL or bad cholesterol since it helps the skier burn fat and control one’s weight.

This may be sound impossible since it is hard to sweat in cold weather but this has proven to be true especially when seeing some of the best skiers in the world.

People who are in good shape are also able to delay the signs of natural aging such as the decrease in physical resistance and muscular mass, flexibility and  slower metabolism.

Lastly, the health benefits of skiing bring out self-esteem and confidence, which makes it easy to meet with other people and take on the challenges that life has to offer.

Skiing may not be for everybody. Studies show that one in four Americans is overweight so it will be a good idea to check first with the physician to make sure it is safe. Those who are able to can sign up for a lesson at a ski resort and learn the basics from an instructor.

Some people think that the only thing skiers do is go downhill but there are also some uphill climbs that will surely increase the heart rate and make you healthy.

One of the worst things to happen on your Alpine getaway is to forget your skiing materials. It is important that you are aware of the equipment you need to bring in order to enjoy your first ever skiing vacation. Plan ahead and prepare on time so that you will not squander precious moments and energy trying to procure skiing supplies on the vacation itself.

Knowing what you need beforehand is vital to achieving a fun and worry free skiing holiday. You must be prepared from the boots, gloves, jackets, to the skis. And you start with finding out the importance of the equipment you need and where to get them.

Gloves, Goggles and Ski Jackets

Gloves and jackets are important obviously because you need to keep warm in a snowy environment. Skiing gloves and jackets aren't like the ordinary ones you use for winter. The ones specially designed for skiing put you in a comfortable condition without sacrificing your need for mobility; they provide warmth without the moisture inside. Skiing gloves and ski jackets make sure that you don't go numb and freeze yourself after that long slalom.

Goggles are your protection for the eyes. As you are negotiating a skiing course, which is always downward, it is important to keep your eyes open to keep control of your downward trail. A split second eye shut could result to accidents.

Ski Boots And Ski Blades

Going to the store to buy skis can be traumatizing because of the vast array of skis to choose from. To make it easy on your part, you should start with knowing your skill level in skiing. There are different skis for different folks, namely recreational, intermediate and advanced

Since it is your first time, you will need skis for recreational level. This type of skis gives you slow speed and are best on easy and moderate contours; giving you great control even on just a little more challenging trails.

Ski boots can protect your ankles and feet from injuries. Ski boots need to be comfortable enough so you can bend forward and back. Choosing the right boots begin with having the right size, otherwise you might end up ruining your vacation with sore feet.

Ski Helmet

Skiing has implicit dangers. Kids and adults should have the proper gear to minimize injuries to the head, especially the brain. Wearing a ski helmet will protect you if you accidentally hit your head upon something.

All these supplies can be easily bought at skiing stores that dot every skiing haven around the world, where people are glad to grant your initiation rites into your first ski run.

My kids snowboard, and they have the kind with bindings and snowboard boots, etc. My sister just bought a snowboard for her 5 year old that has those bindings that are more like flaps, and you wear your regular boots. The underside is not flat, and the board is not quite as substantial as my kids boards.

My kids say that he won't be allowed to use it on the ski hill they go to, and the staff at the hill says he wants to see it before he makes a decision. Now, I totally am fine with it, but can someone tell me WHY this is so I can tell my sister (so she doesn't embarrass me by throwing a fit at the ski hill)?

Thanks!

Second is right. It might have like plastic edges witch might not be able to grip the snow on turns stops etc. The strap's ratchets will prolly get week eventually if the teeth on them are plastic and then easily slide off making the board slide off the boots....not a good thing if you are on a chairlift. Just don't do it man. Tell your sister not to do it. Tell you kids not to do it. Stay safe. But she could go too the resort, ask and if it isn't good, just get a rental. Or you could send in a digital picture to the guy via email or mail. Hope I helped. O and the bindings don't have to be "non-releasable" like the other person said. They have to relaese only when YOU WANT THEM TOO. Not slip off while you are riding.
