Default Ski wear

Does anyone know where online i can get xc skiwear, and i dont require a
credit card?

what do you think i should get.... I am in northern ontario, canada. We get
temps of +5C- -45C during the ski season.

I have a nylon jacket and pants, but they need replaceing... many good years
out of them. I also wear sweat pants/shirt, and a t shirt.

What would be a good idea to get.... so that my thin layer is good to
about -10C(typically when i go out.) and all layers combined are good to
atleast -25C.

On a typical winter day of -10C little wind, i have on a sweatshirt, sweat
pants, and a headband.... i can do a 3K trail in about 30 mins or less, and
am only cool for about the first few minutes.

i would like to get something more suited for skiing, and less for a gym.

I just got some real stuff this past year and found;
Coolmax sock or liners are a must.
Sporthill XC pants are great, breathe, and warm to 15F or lower if no
wind, but comfortable at 30F.
Some kind of Coolmax shirt/base layer, I wear one or two and then a
light jacket.
I haven't found the perfect jacket yet, a breathable (sort of) nylon
shell thing with a lot of pockets seems to work well, at least it has a
good place for my camera. Pit zips are mandatory.
Got some brand of skull cap with a coolmax kind of liner; much better
than without.
Underwear; wickers from Sierra Trading Post
Nothing cotton ever, anywhere; you will get cold and soggy!
