Investments in Gear
So yesterday I went shopping with An. After 6 shops - Decathlon x 2, A.S. Adventure x 2, Makro and Intersport - based in two provinces I have spent about €180. I'd say that's a success. It's obviously skiing season because the stocks were very low on all the stuff I needed, that's also the reason why I had to buy RED impact shorts which are about €30 euro more expensive than WED'ZEs 
(RED is a daughter company of Burton, hence the high pricing).
So what did I buy?
- Medium sized RED Wrist Guards (€ 27.00 in Intersport)
- Medium sized RED Total Impact Shorts (€ 79.99 in A.S. Adventure Sint-Denijs-Westrem)
- 4 pairs of WED'ZE ski/snowboard socks (€ 3.00 per pair in Decathlon Roeselare)
- WED'ZE Reverse Authentic Logo ski/snowboard backpack (€ 24.90 in Decathlon Roeselare)
- 2 WED'ZE Simpel Warm thermal pants (€ 9.90/pc. in Decathlon Kortrijk)
My step brother is gonna lend me his helmet and goggles. Kudos to him for that! 
I already have the rest of my material from going skiing in the past.
Some pictures:
And a video about the WED'ZE Reverse Backpack system (which will take some getting used to).

Luggage Checklist
I've started making my luggage checklist as well today. It'll also help me when I go gear shopping next week. This is a work-in-progress though so the list might not yet be complete. Below is the Google Document containing the list, it'll be updated automatically when I make changes.
