Snow wear?

We are going to France in December and will need to rug-up. Is there anywhere in Doha to buy ski gear? Hats, gloves etc? Bigger sports stores maybe?
many thanks,
G.

Not sure if you are needing to buy for children as well, but Mothercare seems to have a good selection of heavy jackets, as well as thermal underwear, some hats and mitts as well.

I have bought ski parkas, hats and gloves at CC in the Sun & Sand sports place. for cheaper stuff I found things at Sana in CC. Also check Marks & Spencers in Landmark Mall. They have thermal underwear there.

...now that's good. Very "Cool Runnings".

thanks for the tips - I hadn't thought of the surf shops. Actually in Dubai for Eid, so will also check Snow Park.

You could always do a day trip to Dubai, the Snow Park at the Mall of the Emirates sells Everything you need. There are a few of the Surfing brands that also sell there wares. Other than that the only place here that I know of is Sand & Surf at City Centre but they have very limited stock or just wait till you get there its usually cheaper than anywhere in the ME

Decathalon shops are across europe and do sports stuff at a really reasonable price....
