SealSkinz sound like they may come as close as I know of to what you're looking for.

80% certain this is it.

You'll probably be renting most of your ski gear, so here are the warm items you'll want:

1. GLOVES. Since you're just going on vacation, get a moderately good pair that are waterproof, and buy some cheapo glove liners (example glove, example liner).
   
2. Scarf. Thick scarf preferably.
   
3. Balaclava (example here) - optional if your scarf is really good, but recommended.
   
4. Overpants (wear underarmour and jeans underneath). First time I went, I went to target and got a pair for about $15. (example here)
   
5. Beanie.
   
   Now my personal two most important, but expensive items:
   
   
6. Socks! Go to rei and get yourself a pair of these ski socks. Nothing is worse than freakishly cold feet, or feet that get destroyed by the crappy rental books. These socks are built to keep your feed warm and padded.
   
7. Jacket. Ok...here you can cheat a bit by layering. The 'real deal' would be to get something like this. OR, do what I did (and continue to do): underarmour + long sleeve shirt + sweater + rain jacket. Yeah, you don't have a good seal, and you'll end up getting snow on your clothes and be a bit cold by 2pm, but if you don't have hundreds of dollars for a ski jacket it's a good deal. Note: i've found that cheap ski jackets are garbage, and you will pay the price for them.
   
   Hope this helps! You can buy pretty much all this except for the jacket for under $100, and maybe even less if you're really thirfty. Helmet, boots, and skis should be taken care of by the rental folks.

It doesn’t look super similar, but this is the coat I ended up going with. It doesn’t have that cute quilt pattern but it is a pretty pink color and it has kept me warm these past few days of freezing temps.

This is the parka I got off Amazon. I was right, I got the XL.

There is a down version as well, which is 90% down, same as the $$$$$$ coats.

I'm not sure what size you need to be but the size chart is very accurate - I am a 40 bust and there is indeed ~5" of room for layers in the XL.

This seems pretty close. They have two blue options, but this one seems closest.

If your area has cold winters - give him an USHANKA

If the area is warmer:
http://www.amazon.com/Russian-Military-T-SHIRT-TELNYASHKA-Marines/dp/B00C8S1HK4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_indust_2

Since he reads in Russian, you can also buy him a great book, for example:
http://www.amazon.com/Ananasnaja-voda-dlja-prekrasnoj-damy/dp/5699462910/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1373833168&sr=8-27&keywords=pelevin
It's a book with several hilarious short stories - satire aimed at both Russians and Americans.
Has badass cover art too: http://i.imgur.com/EpnHI9i.jpg

You sure about that? https://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Mens-Eager-Interchange-Jacket/dp/B00PZ6IV6E

It's basically the same.

artic bibs

Was on sale when I bought it. Reviews say the stitching is bad near the crotch. As snowboarders we don’t do the splits when we fall so that helps. My cold tolerance is high and for me it’s warmer than I expected.

I just ordered two pairs of these for winter time.

My wife likes her Hestra Seth Morrison 3-finger mittens.

Sealskinz gloves are excellent. I use these ones.

Best combination of water resistance and dexterity I've found.

I've gone through a ton of rain gear, but I've found a winning combo:

Bellwether Screaming Meemie Jacket

and

Helly Hansen Men's Voss Pant

I commute in dress clothes and they both keep me completely dry and don't crumple my clothes too much. They don't breathe so keep your pace leisurely.

*I put my dress shoes and socks in my bag and wear flip-flops when riding.

As a man how recently purchased this, i could not be more pleased with this meme. Upvote!

What do people think of these? They are a third of the price and slightly lighter:

https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Mens-Black-Large/dp/B002N19PBE/ref=cm_wl_huc_item?th=1&psc=1

Rain jacket, pants, and booties will make you impervious to rain. Best cheap option is helly hansen. Sure, bicycle specific rain pants are better suited, but they cost >$60.

You should get full fenders. They will keep the spray off your back, and keep your lower legs drier when you aren't in rain pants.

Is this .com only? Because I have this pair of rain pants for $43.10, but it's .ca.

ONE CENT.

I use SKS raceblades, which work great and are very easy to put on/take off in just a minute or 2. The Crud Roadracer 2 might interest you as well.

Overshoes really help to keep your feet *dry. They are more important without fenders as all the water hitting your down tube and BB will splash outward to the shoes.

For pants, I wear Helly Hansen overpants. There are no pockets and they breathable, but 100% sealed. Match that with a North Face rain jacket and I get to work 100% dry.

I used these Ozero Winter Gloves! all winter long and they kept my hands warm even on the 0 degree days (and my ride is usually around 45 minutes to an hour long), I would recommend those to anyone. Also, they're pretty cheap.

Most people in the holiday inn we're housekeepers and lift ops. Everyone liked their job only heard bad things from one girl but she was a bit crazy. What size are you? I have 4 jackets in total but I don't use the Colombia jacket too often. I can let you borrow till you get one. It's pretty dam good on keeping me warm. Theirs a Goodwill that is walking distance and has tons of jackets and clothing for riding. If you do buy online I recommend Amazon. Here's my personal jacket and it's literally the best one I've ever owned hands down.

This is good to hear. I was going to get cheap waterproof pants to wear over jeans, but I will be hiking. Is something like the following a better option?

https://smile.amazon.com/TSLA-Rip-Stop-Windproof-Insulated-Water-Repel/dp/B07Q5VTW32/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1

I have a pair of these rain pants. They keep me dry and button at the bottom so I don't have to worry about the chain. I also use them in the winter over my work pants when I ride to work to keep the snow out and to keep warm.

I have these Helly Hansen Voss Pants.

The Pros:

-Keeps me dry

-Fits over my normal clothes or winter layers


The Cons:

-Not enough tapper in the legs I have to throw on a leg strap since they are not made just for cycling

-Does not breath (Great for cold riding not for warm!)

I wore them a lot over the past year, daily in the winter as a wind breaker, without any issues, little to no wear.

This is a quality jacket, and the North Face store on Robson had it for a comparable price:

Look on amazon for fridge work gloves similar to this

https://www.amazon.com/OZERO-Deerskin-Leather-Heatlok-Insulated/dp/B01M3URYRW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1549095376&sr=8-4&keywords=work+gloves+freezer#customerReviews

or;

Both have worked very well for me.

I use these because they are cheap and efficient waterproof pants. https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Mens-Voss-Rain/dp/B003PGRNGK

Think I paid $35 for them. They work well.

Hey!! I finally gave in and got this one for the worst days. Used it today for the first time, worked awesomely. I have a furry headband for when it's not too windy. I need to insulate my whole self in order to survive lmao

My partner has this hat: https://www.amazon.com/Mysuntown-Trooper-Hunting-Ushanka-Windproof/dp/B015E0E3AI/

I can't guarantee that it's 100% vegan since I didn't buy it myself, but it's all polyester as far as I can tell.

Can't help you with the armored part, I have this: https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Mens-Voss-Rain/dp/B003PGRNGK

Does any one have a good line on a Snow/ski style nylon winter coat deal? This color and style are what i'm interested in, though i hear tell this specific store page is the poopoo. It would be in the price range of what i'd hope i could spend.

pack layers and you can shed as needed: heres my layout

Base Layer:

I try to avoid cotton stuff cause of chafing, highly recommend exofficio if thats an issue.

runner leggings/thermal leggings

long sleeve work out material shirt/ thermal shirt

smartwool socks! smartwool is the best. I use it for backpacking too.

Second Layer:

arctix snow bibs from amazon : 40 (You want snow pants/bibs. getting snow all down your pants/up your back is awful.)

A flannel or other heavy shirt type

Third:

I have wantando jacket (70 from amazon) reeeealy warm. Hardly have worn it out and its been like 10-15 on the mountain. Id imagine I could wear it down to zero.

A lighter waterproof jacket incase the heavy jacket is too much.

Gloves: Get some nice waterproof insulated gloves and glove liners.
