Jaguar has launched the F-Type in India, priced at an insane Rs. 1.37 crore for the V6 S and Rs. 1.61 crore for the V8 S (no base V6 on offer). ?Jaguar has almost confused Indians with the F-Type?s pricing as the 2-seater sportscar costs more than the XK in the country.
To put it into perspective, check out the Indian pricing of the F-Type and its competitors in US Dollar (converted as per today?s exchange rate 1$ = Rs. 59.80/-). The prices are in ascending order and on-road Mumbai, inclusive of registration and insurance charges.
What do you think? Insane pricing or what? While we are at it, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport costs a whooping $25,94,147 in India.

STANFORD, Calif. ? After learning the hard way that dual-threat quarterbacks like Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson can?t be spied with a linebacker or bull-rushed by an end, defensive coaches across the league went back to school this offseason seeking an enlightenment that would make Aristotle proud.
A few landed at the usual college football factories, like Alabama, Clemson and Texas A&M, looking for a blueprint on how to stop the read-option. But a sizeable cluster sought counsel at an institution better known for addressing problems in fields such as climate change, molecular genetics and computational science. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the campus likely has more students with perfect SAT scores than football players who can run a sub 4.4 40. Yet at least a half dozen NFL teams, including the Vikings and Raiders, signed up for a lecture at Stanford.
Across the way from the Graduate School of Business, go up two shiny wooden staircases in the Arrillaga Family Sports Center, turn right at the tree mural, meander through two hallways framed with floor-to-ceiling glass and arrive at the school?s modest football offices. Here sits 43-year-old defensive coordinator Derek Mason, a onetime undersized cornerback at Northern Arizona who still looks like he could take a few nickel snaps. Close the door, dim the lights, fire up the game-film computer program. The professor has a lot to cram in during this two-hour session.
Mason doesn?t view himself as an expert on the read-option, but he?s a rising star. In their last two meetings with Oregon before the 2012 season, the Cardinal surrendered 53 and 52 points to Chip Kelly?s high-octane offense. And Stanford barely escaped with a 54-48 overtime victory against Arizona at home last year. It was that narrow win five weeks into the season that forced Mason back to the drawing board, determined to get better.
By the end of the season Stanford led the Pac 12 in scoring defense, total defense, rushing defense, sacks and tackles for loss. The seminal moment was a 17-14 overtime victory in November over No. 1 Oregon. The 10-0 Ducks hadn?t been held under 42 points all season and led the FBS with 54.8 points per game. Their rushing attack averaged 325.1 yards, but the Cardinal held them to 198. The win helped propel Stanford to the Rose Bowl, where it won for the first time in 41 years.
Total number of Stanford defensive players drafted in 2013: zero, same as the year before. So why did so many NFL coaches seek out Mason for advice?
Stanford?s players might not rival Alabama?s in terms of athleticism, but they execute a pro-style, two-gapping 3-4 defense and have football IQs on par with NFL veterans who are trying to adapt to the read-option. What coaches learned from Mason, a Vikings assistant from 2007 to ?09, should make offensive coordinators think twice about letting their thoroughbred QBs run wild this season.
He won?t win a Nobel prize for his work, but as all great teachers do, Mason simplifies the problem to its root cause: Mobile quarterbacks who can throw on the run with the casualness of delivering newspapers create an extra gap that defenses rarely had to account for before last season. Closing it requires a defense that is Stanford to its core: equal parts arts and science.
* * *
The two biggest adjustments being made in professional football will ramp up once the pads are strapped on in training camp. Teams that favor a 4-3 single-gap defense are going to need a backup plan, meaning they?ll have to become a 3-4 team against the read-option. And all edge defenders will need to be retrained, if not brainwashed, on how to play their position.
But before jumping into the Sanskrit of X?s and O?s on Mason?s whiteboard, let?s take a step back and go over a few basics.
A defense letters the gaps in an offensive line. The spaces between the center and both guards are called the A gaps; the B gaps are between the guards and tackles; C gaps are between a tackle and a tight end; and D gaps are just beyond a tight end?s outside shoulder. Most defenders are assigned a gap on every snap. If a defensive tackle shoots the A gap, for instance, a linebacker would take the B. When you hear TV analysts saying a player is being undisciplined, it?s often because he?s chasing the flow of a play instead of minding his gap.
The best defense to stop a traditional running offense is the 3-4. With three down linemen responsible for the interior and two outside linebackers covering the edges, all the gaps are covered. The two inside linebackers react to the flow of a play and help form a wall, meaning a properly defensed running play should yield no room for a back to break through the line of scrimmage.
?If you?re playing single-gap defense, you?re going to be one gap short every time,? Mason says, pausing at the whiteboard and turning around to make sure this important point is understood.
In a single-gap scheme, often a 4-3, a lineman is tasked with clogging one hole and making a tackle if the ballcarrier comes his way. In a two-gap scheme, often a 3-4, he?s responsible for the gap on either his left or right. His main job is to engage blockers so the linebackers behind him can make tackles. The 3-4 alone won?t stop the read-option, because it creates an extra gap, but it allows for the easiest adjustment.
Against a pocket passer in a traditional offense, gap responsibility stops at D. And the defense has the upper hand in such matchups, essentially playing 11 against 10 because the quarterback isn?t a threat to run. But when you introduce a QB who has the ability to fake an inside handoff and then scoot around the weak end of the defense?, the E gap is created in an area that is typically left unguarded. The game now becomes 11-on-11, the new math of the NFL.
Our goal is to stop the run and defend the pass. You can?t stop everything. But if they can run, that sets up the play-action pass, and they?re rolling at that point. That?s what they want.
Mason starts rolling film of Oregon against another opponent. From their split-back pistol set, the Ducks run a play similar to the ones Kaepernick used to victimize the Packers in the 49ers? 45-31 divisional-round win in January. In that game Green Bay surrendered a season-high 579 yards of total offense, including an eye-popping 323 on the ground. Kaepernick himself rushed for 181 yards, the most by a quarterback in an NFL game and more than 14 other teams? total against the Packers in 2012.
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota fakes a handoff to the running back on a dive, then rolls to his right with De?Anthony Thomas in the triple option. A defender gets a wicked shot on Mariota, but only after he delivers the pitch to Thomas, who scampers nearly 40 yards for a touchdown.
?What do you see, just in terms of numbers?? Mason asks.
?The defense is one short on the outside?? his visitor says.
?That?s right,? Mason says. ?They actually wound up with two guys on the quarterback and nobody on the pitch.?
Pointing to a defensive back in the slot, Mason adds, ?This guy has no business squeezing down on the quarterback. That?s not his play. He?s really the pitch guy.?
But the defensive back isn?t the only one to blame. The left outside and inside linebackers both entered the same gap. One of the two should have taken the quarterback, but the outside backer crashed down and the inside backer failed to use the scrape technique (moving laterally to cover for the outsider backer when he shoots inside.) When two linebackers blow up the same gap, it?s a recipe for disaster. The slot defender has to jump into the D gap, which leaves the E gap vacant. Thomas ran through this alley to find open field?the same floodgate that sprung Kaepernick, RG3 and Wilson into NFL secondaries last season.
* * *
The first thing a read-option quarterback looks for when he gets to the line of scrimmage is to see if the defense has left itself short somewhere. That is, is the E gap being accounted for? The easiest way to take away the E gap is to play a 3-4 (because everything else is covered) and rotate a safety into the area that would normally be unguarded. But it?s not a perfect solution. This forces a defense to become more vanilla in its pass coverage, because a lone safety lined up deep doesn?t allow for convincing presnap disguises.
Most of the Packers? blown yardage in that playoff game against the 49ers came when they were employing man coverage with help from two safeties over the top. In this schematic wrinkle, cornerbacks position themselves as close to receivers as possible while staying between the quarterback and his target. This, however, requires them to play with their backs to the line of scrimmage, which might as well be a Bat-Signal for QBs like Kaepernick to take off running.
By watching film of college teams, and that of the Steelers?Pittsburgh held Griffin and the Redskins to a regular season-low 255 yards of total offense in its 27-12 victory last October?you quickly realize that defenses should play the percentages when defending the pass ? and hope the quarterback has moments of inaccuracy.
To account for the quarterback as a runner, defenses should play mostly quarters (facing the play, two corners and two safeties are each responsible for one of four vertical columns in the secondary) or single high safety, with the other safety providing run support. The latter leaves defenses susceptible to deep shots, which the Patriots learned against the 49ers last December. Trying to attack the E gap isn?t new in football?think of a naked bootleg around the weak side?but what makes the read-option so groundbreaking is that it?s being orchestrated by quarterbacks who can throw as well as they run. Pure option quarterbacks have never thrived in the NFL, but when Kaepernick throws the deep ball with accuracy, the 49ers are virtually unstoppable. As a defensive coordinator you need to pick your battles.
?Our goal is to stop the run and defend the pass,? Mason explains. ?You can?t stop everything. But if they can run, that sets up the play-action pass, and they?re rolling at that point. That?s what they want.?
The read-option not only limits a defense?s coverage, it deflates the pass rush as well. Players who predominantly line up with a hand on the ground in a 4-3 will now be drilled to use a two-point stance (that is, to stand up). They?ll be instructed to read and react to a developing play instead of going straight for the quarterback?a tactic that allows them to crush pocket passers, but one that makes them look like bystanders as read-option QBs react to their impulsive moves.
Mason, whose arm seems to be surgically attached to the dry-erase marker, draws a straight line signifying an instant rush from a defensive end?the unblocked one opposite the tight end side of the formation?to the quarterback. If the unblocked end charges in this fashion, and if you don?t have an inside linebacker or safety moving into the vacated gap, good luck stopping the read-option.
This hard-charging end is left unblocked for a reason. He?s like a basketball player trying to defend a pick-and-roll by himself. In other words, he?s powerless. If he comes at the quarterback, the running back takes the handoff. If the end angles his shoulders toward the dive back, the QB pulls the ball back from the handoff (also called the mesh point) and takes off around the corner, forcing the end to turn back and give chase.
Mason depicts a solution on the whiteboard, showing the unblocked end first going upfield, at no one, and then squeezing down on the running back once he gets the ball. The idea is to let the quarterback make a decision without giving him all the information he wants.
?The quarterback wants a fast read all the time,? Mason says. ?If you don?t give him a fast read, then things start to break down and he starts to panic because everything is predicated on him being able to make a fast read. Especially in the NFL, because they don?t want to get that guy hit. If you come up the field and then try to squeeze, it?s now hard on the quarterback.?
* * *
A slow read forces the quarterback to think more. In football, thinking equals slow, and slow equals disaster. Slowing down the read won?t just stop the quarterback, it?s also important in wrapping up the running back. A week after running roughshod over the Packers, Kaepernick was held to 21 yards on two carries by the Falcons in the NFC title game. But the 49ers still advanced to Super Bowl XLVII with a 28-24 victory because tailback Frank Gore had 90 yards on 21 carries and scored the game?s final two touchdowns.
On each of Gore?s TDs, the Falcons attacked Kaepernick but didn?t have anyone covering the inside gap. Thanks to strong play from the offensive line, Gore was able to slip through. Atlanta kept Kaepernick in check, but the read-option isn?t solely about the quarterback. There?s a reason why Alfred Morris, a sixth-round rookie out of Florida Atlantic, finished second in the league in rushing with 1,613 yards playing alongside RG3. Read-option offenses don?t care for whom the gap is opened?they?re going to exploit what you give them.
Not surprisingly, the Packers and Falcons both took courses on college campuses (Green Bay went to Texas A&M and Atlanta to Clemson). Even so, defenses across the league might still be a step behind. At the college level, Mason has seen offensive coordinators using faster tempos by going no-huddle, and they?re creating ways to make reads off interior defensive lineman, not just edge players. Offensive coordinators in the NFL might use as many as 15 formations with the same personnel grouping in a game, but a defense isn?t going to have as many schemes to confuse an offense. Stopping the read-option is about knowing how and where to line up, and being on the same page about how to attack the formation. One blown gap and Kaepernick is sprinting 60 yards for a touchdown.
?There?s no magic elixir playing against those schemes,? Mason says. ?It?s being fundamentally sound in terms of your keys. That?s it. If you don?t understand your fits, or where your eyes go and where your help is, you?re at risk. You?re just out there playing ball, and they?re always going to be one step ahead of you.?
And with that, Mason wipes the whiteboard clear. Can?t give away all the secrets.
NFL defenses often looked foolish against the read-option last season. Their biggest problem was rooted in surprise. Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson were rookies, and Colin Kaepernick, a second-year pro, didn?t become the starter until Week 11. Once a season begins, there isn?t much time for a defense to properly study and adapt to a previously unknown scheme. Even if there was, it would have been impossible to re-program 4-3 defensive linemen (the single-gap players) who make a living getting upfield and wreaking havoc as quickly as possible.
Going into a new season, defensive coaches have had months to take lecture notes from college coaches like Mason and become teachers themselves. Expect any 4-3 team that plays against a read-option offense in 2013 to employ modified version of a 3-4, two-gapping scheme.
Mason may know how to slow the read-option, but the best advice comes from a different Stanford classroom. Across the Oval and Main Quad, where they teach applied physics, you?ll be reminded that ?for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.?
NFL defenses have taken action, and offenses will soon react. Whoever studied the best this offseason will ace the test. The loser will have to enroll in summer school again.

BEIJING |
BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese military aircraft that flew through international airspace near Japan's southern islands, prompting Japan to scramble fighter jets, was on a routine training mission, China's state media reported on Thursday.
Japan's Defense Ministry said a Chinese Y-8 airborne early warning plane flew through airspace between Okinawa prefecture's main island and the smaller Miyako island in southern Japan out over the Pacific at around noon on Wednesday and later took the same route back over the East China Sea.
Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said the aircraft was on a planned training flight over the Pacific, the official China News Service reported.
"This was not aimed at any specific country or had any specific aim, and was in accordance with international law and practice," Geng was quoted as telling Chinese reporters.
"China has the legal right to freedom of flight over the relevant seas," he said.
Ties between China and Japan have been strained by a territorial dispute over uninhabited East China Sea islets and hawkish Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won a decisive victory in upper house elections on Sunday.

Now that Google has let its $35 Chromecast HDMI dongle out of the bag at its breakfast press event, it's gonna need developers to chip in some apps for it. To help boost that effort, the company is releasing the Google Cast SDK to help those folks bring content from mobile and the web to TVs. By using the kit, developers won't need to build new applications for the big screen from scratch; they'll just need to make a few tweaks to their existing mobile apps. Mountain View expects Google Cast tech to be embedded in future hardware from its partners, with Chromecast being "the first instantiation" of such an ecosystem. You can now grab a preview (at the source) for iOS, Android and Chrome -- which is good news, since the wee dongle already appears to be sold out on Play.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Food and Drug Administration is cracking down on more than a dozen companies that market illegal treatments for diabetes, ranging from bogus dietary supplements to prescription drugs sold online without a prescription.
All of the products aim to cash in on the country's diabetes epidemic, which affects nearly 26 million Americans. Regulators worry that consumers who buy such unapproved products could put off getting legitimate medical care, which could exacerbate heart disease, kidney failure and other deadly complications.
The FDA sent warning letters to 15 companies, both in the U.S. and abroad, ordering them to stop selling diabetes treatments which violate U.S. drug laws.
Three of the products targeted are marketed as "natural" supplements, but actually contain unlisted pharmaceutical ingredients. For example, Diexi, which is sold as a traditional Indian "herbal formula," actually contains metformin, the most common prescription drug used to treat diabetes. The product is sold by Amrutam Life Care, of Surat, India.
"Consumers should exercise caution before using products claiming to be herbal or all-natural alternatives to FDA-approved prescription drugs," the agency said in a statement Tuesday. "These products should be considered unsafe and should not be used."
Other products include genuine dietary supplements that make unproven claims to treat or prevent diabetes. For example, Diabetes Daily Care is a capsule-based supplement containing cinnamon extract and other herbs. Its manufacturer, Nature's Health Supply Inc., claims it "safely and effectively improves sugar metabolism."
Under U.S. law, only FDA-approved medicines are permitted to make claims for treating or preventing disease.
Other companies targeted by the FDA run online pharmacies that sell prescription drugs for diabetes without a prescription. The FDA issued a warning letter to www.bestcheapmedsonline.com for marketing unapproved versions of diabetes drugs like Januvia, from Merck & Co. Inc.
The FDA warns patients against buying prescription medications on the Internet. Only 3 percent of online pharmacies actually comply with all U.S. pharmacy laws, according to a review by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
People with diabetes are unable to properly break down carbohydrates, either because their bodies do not produce enough insulin or because they've become resistant to the hormone, which controls blood sugar levels. These patients face higher risks of heart attacks, kidney problems, blindness and other serious complications.
Many diabetics require multiple drugs to control their blood sugar levels.
The U.S. market for prescription diabetes drugs is the largest in the world, with sales of $22 billion last year. Sales have ballooned more than 60 percent in the last four years from $13.6 billion in 2008, according to health data firm, IMS Health.
The FDA said it has not received any reports of injury or illness connected with the products, but is taking action as a precautionary measure.
The FDA sent the warning letters to the companies last week, but posted them online Tuesday morning. The letters gives each company 15 business days to reply and explain how they will come into compliance with U.S. law. FDA warning letters are not legally binding, but the agency can take companies to court if they are ignored.

South Sudan?s President Salva Kiir Mayardit has dismissed Vice President Riek Machar Teny, along with all his cabinet ministers.
Kiir issued a presidential decree on Tuesday which also removed all deputy ministers of the government, local media reported.
"President Kiir wants to make a major reshuffle, so from the vice president downwards, all national ministers and deputy ministers have been removed,"?Barnaba Marial Benjamin, told AFP news agency. Benjamin was, until his suspension on Tuesday, the information minister and government spokesman.
The move has been called a "reshuffle", and has been expected, but there have been no appointments to replace those dismissed.
The government is currently being run by under-secretaries until further notice.
Kiir also reduced the number of ministries in his government from 29 to?18, though it was not yet clear which ministries had been cut, with no reasons provided for the changes.
Benjamin told ?AFP that the president had acted within his constitutional mandate.?
"It is his constitutional mandate to form and dissolve a government."?
The now dismissed Benjamin also said that "some of these people will come back and some will not."?
Residents concerned
Security forces had deployed on the streets of Juba, the capital, a common sight in the city, but all seemed calm, reported AFP.
Al Jazeera's Anna Cavell, reporting from Juba, said it was not yet clear what would happen.?She said expatriates had been instructed to go home or to stay indoors.
Residents in Juba stold AFP that there was concern at the suspensions, which follows earlier orders by Kiir in April to clip the powers of Machar.
"People are staying at home, and if people are out in town they are rushing back just in case there is trouble," said Richard Jok, a student.
Some reports pointed to the dismissal of 17 police officers as well, but this could not be immediately confirmed.
'Political motivation'
While Kiir heads the?Sudan People?s Liberation Movement (SPLM), many of the ministers dismissed, including the secretary general of SPLM, Pagan Amum, were key figures in SPLM's armed wing?that fought a brutal 1983-2005 war against the government in Khartoum, which?led to a 2011 referendum in which South Sudan voted overwhelmingly to split?from the north.
Amum, South Sudan's chief negotiator in talks with Sudan, criticised?Kiir's decision as politically motivated.
Reports of a power struggle in the ruling party have persisted,?particularly between Kiir and his first vice president, Teny, who has?said he is interested in running for president in 2015, reported AP news agency
Last month Kiir suspended two of his most senior and influential ministers to launch investigations into an alleged multi-million dollar corruption scandal.
Probes were launched into finance minister Kosti Manibe and cabinet affairs?minister Deng Alor, powerful leaders of the young nation.
Dozens of generals have also been relieved of their positions in the past year.

NEW DELHI: Even as Bangladesh on Monday denied a 'deal' in its decision to hand over ULFA leader Anup Chetia to India, the deportation will indeed be part of a 'swap' in which New Delhi will match the neighbouring country's gesture by transferring two Bangladeshi criminals ? Subrata Bain and Sajjad Hossain ? who are in Indian jails.
Besides, New Delhi also assured Dhaka of coordination with the latter's agencies to track, arrest and hand over the killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Though it was a reiteration of India's stand, New Delhi promised to act vigorously on the matter by processing every input from Dhaka on the whereabouts of those who killed Sheikh Mujib. Riasaldar Mosleuddin and another person, wanted for the killing of Sheikh Mujib and several of his family members on August 14-15, 1975, are suspected to be hiding in India.
India reiterated its stand during the home secretary-level talks between the two countries which concluded here on Monday.
"We are working on it (deportation of Anup Chetia). There is no quid pro quo. You will come to know it (about deportation) eventually," senior secretary in Bangladesh's ministry of home affairs C Q K Mushtaq Ahmed said when asked whether there was any give-and-take between India and Bangladesh on Chetia's deportation.
Though Ahmed refused to give any timeframe, sources indicated that Chetia's deportation may happen by this month-end or latest by early August. The ULFA 'general secretary' has been in jail in Bangladesh since 1997.
Sources said New Delhi has already decided to hand over Subrata Bain and Sajjad Hossain in exchange for Chetia.
It is learnt that Chetia is likely to be handed over to Assam Police which has been probing a number of cases against him. It is expected that Chetia will be first brought to Delhi in an Indian aircraft which will be sent to Dhaka to hand over Bain and Hossain.
Bain and Hossain were involved in attacks targeting ruling Awami League leaders in Bangladesh. Bain is also an accused in the grenade attack on a rally of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2004. Hossain is lodged in Tihar jail.
The Indian side also informed its counterpart that the government will bring a constitutional amendment bill in Parliament during the monsoon session, beginning on August 5, for implementation of the India-Bangladesh land boundary agreement.
Through the constitutional amendment bill, India wants to ratify the 1974 Indira-Mujib pact for demarcation of boundaries and for exchange of 161 adversely-held enclaves with a population of about 50,000 people.
While the Bangladesh parliament has already approved the land boundary deal, India needs to introduce a constitutional amendment bill because its implementation involves territory swap. Approval of the land boundary accord has been hanging fire because the government lacks two-third majority in Parliament for its passage.

Shopping for kids outdoor clothing can be a challenge at best of times, but attempting to find the right clothing for the cool weather can be trick if you don't know what to look for. Whether you are hitting the slopes in the Alpes or flying like a pro in your regional snow sports center, finding the right snowboard equipment is very crucial. We've assembled an easy to follow guide which will be your bible when it comes to purchasing kids snowboard wear.
Snowboard Jackets.
There are 3 types of ski jackets which you can buy. Here's a quick review of each:
Insulated Jackets.
When it comes to snowboard jackets this is often the most popular. Goose down feathers or artificial fibres are most commonly used in these coats for heat. The external layer of the coat will be gauged for its waterproof levels in mm. One brand of snowboard coats that has been designed with waterproofing as the primary marketing point is Trespass' Tres-Tex range. Insulated jackets can be used for more tasks, not just for snowboarding. Hill walkers and even dog walkers have been known to utilize these in the winter months.
Shell.
The external layer protection is offered by the shell coats. They are not insulated and so are best used with multiple layers, which you can adjust to various conditions and levels of activity. Utilizing a special waterproofing material and being breathable makes shell jackets an excellent choice for protecting against moisture.
3 in 1 Jackets.
The 3 in 1 jacket is very popular as it's so versatile. The 3-in-1 coat combines shell insulation and mid-layers all into one. The removable inner layer of a 3 in 1 jacket is a fantastic feature as you can wear this as a jacket on its own when the weather isn't too cool.
Specialists recommend that you try different jackets to see which ones fit the best and they'll be most comfortable. If your children like to play outside or take part in outdoor activities all year round, the best jacket would be a 3 in 1 as you can remove or add layers to it. This means you can quickly adapt to any weather condition without requiring separate coats.
Snowboard Trousers.
When purchasing ski pants for kids it's advisable to buy ones that closely match the details and spec of the snowboard jackets. Pants with a reinforced knees and seat should be the one crucial design to look for when purchasing ski pants. Not only are beginners going to fall over a lot, but kids are especially likely to take a tumble. Reinforcement will stop any rips and tears, making your trousers last longer and are better value for money.
See to it that your kid has lots of room in their snowboard pants. This is crucial as kids grow extremely quickly and you don't want to have to fork out for expensive ski wear year after year. A good way to avoid doing this is to get snowboard pants with an adjustable waist and plenty of room in the legs.
Design Details.
There are also a few design details you should keep an eye out for when picking a children's ski clothing. Here is a brief list of the key things to look out for:
Waterproof Levels.
Waterproofing depth is another very important attribute to look for in a ski jacket. We advised that ideally your kid's snowboard coat should be waterproof from 10,000 millimetres-- 20,000 millimetres.
Breathability.
While the weather might be cool outside, interior your ski coat you will be working up a sweat from the active energy. A breathable coat will allow any moisture and sweat to escape from the breathable material and still keep you hot.
Venting.
This is utilized for the same reason as breathable coats. Most great snowboard jackets will have zipped vents at the arm pits, which let in cool air and help to cool down the body when it gets too overheated.
Taped Seams.
Having a waterproof coat is excellent but is pointless if your jacket has no taped seams. With waterproof jackets, the stitching in the fabric creates a weak point which can be a problem as water can seep in through the small holes in the fabric.' Taped seams help to stop this, by covering the stitching.
Cuffs.
You will want your kid's snowboard wear to have adjustable cuffs, generally made with Velcro straps. Adjustable cuffs are important to stop ice cold water from running up your arm caused by snow getting in.
Extras.
You can get lots of other extras that can make a terrific addition to your ski jacket or snowboard pants. The main ones that you will most likely use and often need are:
Removable And Adjustable Hood.
Often people pull their hood up over their headgear which can cause trapped wind to get caught in the sides of the hood. A removable or adjustable hood helps with this issue.
Snow skirt.
A snow skirt is included or can be attached onto the bottom of a ski jacket, to prevent snow riding up and onto your back when you wipe out.
Colour.
Purchasing gender neutral colors for your ski clothes is an excellent way to make them last longer. This will ensure that you can hand them down to young siblings, once the elder outgrows it. You can save yourself a lot of money by not having to buy more ski wear every year.
Pockets.
A a lot of people underestimate how much things you need have with you while you're skiing or snowboarding. Most people have important items they need to keep with them. Lift passes, money and smart phones are most common along with your ski goggles. Having inside pockets with zips are wonderful for valuable items like money and your cell phone while specially designed pockets on the outside for lift passes and ski goggles are also an excellent feature. These are small particulars which make your snowboard coat a lot more user friendly.
So now you have the low down on purchasing ski clothes for kids. Next time you're flying off on a ski holiday you will be completely prepared to make the most of your journey!
