A. Most fabrics can be washed in a machine. There should be care instructions with the garment, or check on the manufacturer's website. Use a specialist product like Nikwax (available from outdoor equipment stores).
What is the best parka / jacket for skiing?
Q. I want something warm, but not too bulky.
A. One way to prevent bulk is to layer. A single bulky jacket will not keep you as warm as several layers of clothing. I prefer to wear a synthetic base layer, a mid layer (like a turtle neck), a fleece jacket or pullover for warmth, and then an uninsulated outer layer for wind and weather resistance (sometimes called a powder jacket). On the really cold days (less than 15F), I substitute an insulated ski coat for the powder jacket. Using these layers (or subtracting from them on warmer days) gets me through the ski season just fine.
For the powder jacket and insulated ski coat, look for ones that have very high ratings for breath-ability and wind resistance. The last thing you want to do is wear clothing that will trap moisture against your body.

What is the best snow skiing jacket to buy?
Q.
A. One that fits, and suits your style in color and design. Make sure it's waterproof, windproof and breathable, has enough pockets for your needs, a hood to keep your hat & head dry in bad weather, a storm flap over the front zipper, and adjustable cuffs on the wrist. Spyder, Obermeyer, Columbia, North Face are all excellent brands. And LLBean.com and landsend.com have great jackets for skiing too.
Best color ski pants for blue jacket?
Q. I have a blue ski jacket (not dark blue, more royal blue) what color ski pants would look good? Would black be ok? Any other suggestions, TIA
A. I have worked in a shop for eight years, the number one selling color is always black. You can wear black pants with just about any jacket including blue. I would suggest black unless you find some awesome looking pants that will match the jacket.
