We want nothing more than each student to receive the highest standard of education throughout their time at the college, but sadly a single case of defiant protest against the new policy has occurred. Any student who does not comply with the uniform policy continue to receive a high standard of education in the college’s achievement support department with other students, but away from their year group. This involves individual tutoring, small group work with tutors and other students, as well as re-joining their year groups for PE. On day trips in more mild conditions, a water resistant pant will be all you need, but on longer days in colder and constantly wet conditions, a water resistant pant may stay damp.

Lightweight, stretchy and very comfortable to move in, they’re also a good choice if you’re looking for added freedom of movement and less weight when you’re skiing.

Our only quibble is that the braces don’t fully allow you to adjust the chest bib for a snugger fit, and – as this is a unisex design – petite or tall women may need to try a few sizes to work out which suits them best. A snow bib will also double up as a pair of hiking trousers (Image credit: Jessie Leong) Fit and style Extreme conditions call for Montane’s unisex Extreme bib, designed with Arctic weather in mind and worn by members of the British Antarctic Survey.Material that is able to repel water, but not completely impenetrable to water. 7/8 AND 3/4 SIDE ZIPPER

Haglöfs don’t beat around the bush – these highly technical shell pants are “made for the dedicated off-piste skier”, and beginners enrolled in their ski school sessions need not apply. The terms “ski pant” and “salopette” have become nigh-on interchangeable, but as a rule, salopettes are high-waisted and may feature a bib or braces to hold them in place, while ski pants are trousers, often more baggy and low-slung. (Salopettes sometimes get called pants, but trousers/pants don’t pass for salopettes.) We also love the fit of these pants, which sit high at the waist (adjustable with Velcro) and are on the slim side without looking too figure-hugging, but still offer good flexibility of movement at the hips and knees, and features what OOSC proudly call a “comfy bum”, lined with fleece (great for sitting on long gondolas or for stopping for an alfresco snow picnic).The RECCO® reflectors require no power and no activation to function.

The same rules for hiking pants apply to mountaineering pants – cotton is rotten. Just like shirts, it is important to consider the materials and fabric types when selecting mountaineering pants. Choosing a fabric that is durable, but provides some stretch is just as important as choosing a breathable, but warm fabric. The best ski bibs and pants are usually either insulated, have a “shell”, or both. The former are padded with synthetic insulation (see down vs synthetic insulation for the reason why) and are ideal for cold conditions and for resort skiers who need reliable warmth in between ski sessions. They’re usually designed to be popped over a pair of base layer leggings, and should suit most skiers heading to the mountains on holiday.He even not allowed to go at breaktimes and lunch with the other students.
