A friend found the outfit at Goodwill and I looked it over carefully so I could review it.
The outfit includes a ski jacket, snow pants, boots, mittens, and a fleecy hat. My friend didn't have the mittens.
Ski Jacket: the ski jacket is made out of the same fabric as real ones. It's a pretty lavender color with lime green trim. It seems a little thin, but the inside of the coat is quilted (the sleeves are not). It has elastic at the wrists and a zipper that really works.
Snow Pants: I loved the pants! They are thicker than the jacket & really reminded me of the pants I used to wear in the snow as a kid. Made of good material, with an almost "suede" feel to it. They velcro shut.
Boots: The boots are absolutely adorable! They have real metal hooks over which you slip loops of lime green elastic to close. I wish I could've gotten a picture. The toe area is reinforced with vinyl, and the soles are actually rubbery. One of the elastic loops on my friend's shoes had come out, though, and I had a little trouble trying not to scratch myself on the metal hooks while fastening the shoes.
Hat: The hat is made of nice fleecy material, fits great over the doll's head of hair. It has a cute little thread tassel, too.
Overall: The outfit is adorable & really seems like the kind of thing a girl would wear in the snow. It's very versatile too, because a girl could use it not only as a snowboard outfit, but a ski outfit, playing-in-the-snow outfit, or just a jacket. The only thing I'm wary about are the shoes--the fastenings are great for adult collectors, but kids might hurt themselves on them.
