The Beijing Winter Olympics entered its second week, with cool skiing, exciting speed skating, graceful figure skating, slightly cute but extremely dangerous sledding... What races have you all chased?
Watching the event is boiling with blood, as a greater Bay Area person who has not seen much snow, he even itched to try ice and snow sports.
Looking at the athletes' fitted and cool clothing and equipment, I also quietly made a small calculation in my heart: I also want to arrange it.
Usually there will be equipment for rent in the venues of such niche sports, but at the moment, it is determined to seriously go deep into a sport, and its own equipment is still indispensable.
So the question is, how much preparation do you have to prepare your purse?
skiing
Ten thousand dollars from head to toe
Gu Ailing and Su Yiming, two post-00s young players, galloped the ski field and bravely won the card, which undoubtedly made skiing a major event the focus of the country.

Who said that southerners are not worthy of skiing, you see Sunac so lively, the way, there is always. Excited to come to the equipment link, but accidentally picked the eye.

First of all, snowshoes, snowboards and retainers are necessary hard equipment, you can arrange several times to try to slip, experience your feeling of snowshoes exerting force and force, and then determine the most suitable equipment for yourself, the general quality of the better set down needs 5000 to 7000 yuan.

Ski clothes are also a concern for most people. The professional focus of ski clothes is breathable and waterproof; snow jackets are generally worn with fleece liner or light down to keep warm and cold; the bottom of the quick-drying clothes can be quick-drying and sweaty, keep warm and ensure that they will not get wet and cold after sweating, which is an essential functional product.
From the inside out, the budget for clothing purchases needs at least 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.

In addition, protective equipment is also a big investment, do not forget that skiing is a high-risk sport in the end.
Helmets are also recommended to try on in the store, choosing a light one that suits the shape of the head. Face protection and wind protection are also warm, which can be said to be a must for cold star people in the snow field.
As for the small turtle that appears frequently in the snow field, the role is to make you not too painful when you fall, but it actually affects the posture of skiing, and the injury-proof inner protective gear is more professional and practical (but it is not painproof... ）。

Snow mirrors are no entry to high-level transitions, red, blue and green snow mirrors are basically all-day mirrors, which can be bought at one time.

Overall, from head to toe to buy a whole body of ski equipment, even if the cost-effective choice, the budget has reached tens of thousands of yuan.

Now there are also many beginners to buy equipment to see the value of the face, in addition to the professional ski brand launched by the high value series, the luxury brand launched by the ski products are also within the scope of consideration, about this, later to talk about.
equestrianism
Beginners can do it for two thousand
Not only snow sports, but also some niche sports in the Summer Olympics, such as equestrianism.
Equestrianism is widely recognized as an aristocratic sport, but for beginners, the cost is not as high as imagined.

Must-have equipment, helmets are the first, breeches, riding boots, protective vests and leg guards can be purchased, the whole set only costs more than 2000 to take down.
Tuition fees can be a relatively larger investment. The time of the course is calculated in saddle time, 1 saddle hour is equal to 45 minutes, and the common domestic range is 300 to 1000 yuan.
However, if you choose a higher-level coach or a more thoroughbred horse, the price will also increase, and the price of courses in other first-tier cities will usually be higher.

Although the introductory does not burn money as expected, equestrianism involves animals after all, so it seems a little special and wonderful.
After becoming a veteran player, other sports are replaced by more advanced equipment, and equestrianism is to have your own horse.
Congratulations, there are horses, congratulations, followed by a complete set of horse equipment and horse maintenance fees, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars of costs are in the normal range.
But no matter how expensive it is, it is not as expensive as the top equipment of the horse, the common warm-blooded horse in the race, hundreds of thousands to millions, dollars Oh. To the top Egyptian pure-blood Arabian horses, a price of one hundred million euros is present.

Interestingly, the horse will become more expensive and expensive, but only if it does well. Once an equestrian horse wins a prize, it is recorded in the passport, and its value increases accordingly. (Hmmm...) Can this also be considered an investment? ）
Therefore, starting a certain sport may be hot, but whether to continue, to which step, or first calm down and think clearly.
Luxury cards
Expensive is not the point, just show off
Equipment, more professional word, of course, the first choice is professional sports brand. But as mentioned earlier, the fields involved in luxury brands have never been boundaries, not to mention that there are not a few people who choose luxury brand sports equipment.
As we all know, luxury brands such as Hermès and Gucci started from making harnesses and saddles, and Hermès is still producing harnesses to this day, and a set of entry-level professional equestrian equipment costs at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Hermès's most recent high-profile is the hermès Fit limited edition store in major cities, which uses silk scarves, small leather goods, hats and other accessories to create fitness activities, opening up an elegant sports moment with a high level of luxury in the city.
Then again, sports are not enough to be creative and atmospheric, but more or less professional.
Joint branding is a means that everyone has played through, the joint name of luxury brands and professional sports brands, both sides show their strengths in technology and design, and more people will pay for it.

In the field of sports, professional or luxury, there are too many things to play.
For professional veteran players, the sports series launched by luxury brands may not be absolutely attractive, but if you are an entry-level player, a fashionista, an unlimited budget, and just a fan of a luxury brand, this choice of fashion and professional balance may wish to be taken into account.
No matter what kind of sport, when you first get started, you don't have to rush to get your own equipment, determine your interests, make a decision to continue to improve, and it is not too late to buy the right equipment.
Of course, after niche sports such as skiing, equestrianism, etc. have gained attention because of the Olympic boom, what we would like to see is that people no longer simply and rudely define it as "the sport of the rich".
Although the higher cost is an indisputable fact, every sport that is supported and spread has its own spirit.
Joining these sports is a way to release stress and see more beautiful scenery, or a simple pursuit of speed and limit, and finding the enthusiasm of life and the charm of sports in it may be the most important.
