Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

By 'small baffled' are you talking about down/primaloft mids?

Mollerski, I think there were some reports that people were happy with the Salomon equivalent too.

I wear this when its really cold http://www.patagonia.com/eu/enGB/product/mens-nano-puff-hoody?p=84221-0

Plenty of other options from the names you have put up - the Patagonia product it 60gm Primaloft so I d look around that spec equivalent for an "active" layer.

I find a down jacket too warm to ski in but if I was static or higher (my max altitude is c 2400m) then I might go for down (which for me is Uniqlo) but probably waistcoat.

I find the the Patagonia fits fine under my regular shell, doesn't need to be oversized.

My wife has just bought a light down jacket from Uniqlo for £40, which is more in my price range than the Patagonia.

I had a Marmot one which was very nice, but it was stolen Sad I wear a heavyweight HH fleece under my hardshell when it's coldest though.

If she is to be wearing it for actual skiing then go for a high quality synthetic. If it is just for post exercise then down has the highest warmth to weight ratio but does get damp easily. I just carry a Rab primaloft thin top and that can be worn under a hardshell in extreme conditions. My big down duvet is purely for nights when bivying.

A couple of reviews to give you ideas.

She's a tiny 4'11", snowboarding instructor working in Verbier. The smallest company issue hardshell jacket swamps her which she is fine with. She teaches kids up to 16yo, there is plenty of standing around in all weathers. wink

Thanks for the replies.
