Sie sind nicht allein, ich teile Ihre Einschätzung weitgehend. Glücklicherweise bin ich kein besonders aktiver Wintersportler, mir wären die Materialien und Muster der entsprechenden Bekleidung ein Graus. Doch es ist Land in Sicht. Es gibt immer mehr Marken, die spüren, dass es inzwischen eine Generation erwachsener Menschen gibt, die etwas weniger Kiddiemässiges, aber gleichwohl Komfortables tragen wollen. Schauen Sie sich zum Beispiel die Silver-Kollektion von Adidas an.
Nachtrag vom 31.1.2011 von Leser Yves S.:
Die bekannten Skibekleidungsfirmen wie Bogner, Kjus, etc. haben leider tatsächlich schon besser Tage gesehen und sollte man meiden. Da sieht man jedes Jahr aufs weitere keine Neuentwicklung, gerade was die Schnitte und Qualität anbelangt. Ich getraue mich kaum noch, meine Bogner-Jacke aus dem Schrank zu nehmen, so veraltet wie sie ist! Die meisten Firmen wie The North Face, Peak Performance,Norrøna oder Arcteryx haben nebst Ihren supertechnischen Bergkleidern immer mehr Outfits für 'normale' Wintersportlerim Angebot.
Es gibt auch einige Standardbrands die gute und relativ einfarbige Kleider im Angebot haben, z.B. Oakley. Man muss leider suchen, aber es gibt sie. Günstige Wintersportkleider sollte man aber meiden, man macht ja schliesslich Wintersport und nicht Beach Volleyball bei 35°. Meine Tipps: Isa Ora http://www.isaora.com/ (Gute Qualität, Schnitt, Style, etc. - noch absolut unbekannte Marke aus NYC. Meine Wahl: http://www.whiteout.biz (Die Tochterfirma von der norwegischen Marke Norrøna, leider limitierte Kollektion und nur alle 2 Jahre erhältlich, sehr teuer!)
Three years ago I found the perfect TOP jacket in Astoria, Oregon (a wonderful little city on the Pacific coast near Wilappa Bay, which is home to some of the most perfect oysters I have ever tasted) and the current home of our daughter and her family. I spotted this jacket from some distance away as it was actually a hunting jacket hanging on a rack outside the sporting-goods store. And that means it is aggressively, neon orange with a few inky-black "tree branche sketches" scattered on it. It is lined-but-light, waterproof and the top layer of my ancient JetSet ski gear. I treasure it for its insulation and
"glaring" visibility it gives me.
If other skiers are worried about the old, crazy lady in NEON orange and avoid me, that is also the point. But most people can't imagine that a "grown-up" would wear such gear. You would give me marks as a circus performer, and I think there are situations where style is less important than "the safety factor". But I also get a kick out of compliments from snow-boarders who call out "Koool Jacke!!" as we swoosh by each other in our different styles and later chat at a snow-bar where these neat kids discover someone their mother's (or grandmother's) age. It's good for them to realize that we oldies can still be goodies.

Nachtrag vom 31.1.11 von Leserin Ellen S.:
As a (still) athletic and active woman nearing 70, one of my major concerns on the ski slope is security. For me, security means - of course - fitness, and wearing a helmet. But it also means VISIBILITY! Thus I have NEVER owned a white ski suit. Or a black one. Or even red. I found an orange outfit (in separate pieces) at the "going-out-of-business" sale of the now-defunct/sort-of-revived JetSet about 20 years ago and it is still good.
