Buying Guide
(Nordic Walking,
Nordic Blading, Rollerskiing, and Cross-country Skiing clothing and equipment suppliers)
(page down for 'Partners')
There
is a wide range of clothing and equipment available from leading, quality international suppliers. Whilst I do not supply
products directly to customers, listed below is a personally recommended selection of high quality and reliable suppliers,
and links to their websites where you can buy online/source local retailers.
Dependent upon your budget, or fashion desires, please remember that better quality products
will not only last longer, they will enhance your exercise and therefore enjoyment of Nordic Fitness sports. For Cross-country Skiing you need the following clothing: jacket (non-Alpine skiing), pants (non-Alpine skiing),
thermal underwear (top & bottoms), gloves (non-Alpine skiing), and hat.
Buy your Cross-country Skiing equipment (Skis, Bindings, Boots and Poles) in the UK through Snow & Rock or Euroski
