  • Focus on the differences related to the equipment needs – women prefer

especially warmth while men prefer more technical aspects while – inform them about all details and special features of the equipment to get them interested.

  • 3. Level of experience
  • Equipment for experts has to be technically superior with additional features to

support any activity off pist, while equipment targeted at beginners should be more focused on comfort, control and design.
