 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am considering buying a hard shell and not an insulated jacket for skiing, as I want to be able to ski when the weather is very nice without overheating, and shell seems more versatile.
I only neeed to answer one question - what would you recommend wearing on top of base layer, when the weather is cold, -10/-15 degrees Celc? Some breathable fleece/merino long-sleeve pullover? I need sth tha twould be versatile and that will last a long time  Thanks!

I have a variety of options - depending on how cold/windy it is:
Down Jacket
Heavy Fleece
Light Fleece
Merino Zip Neck
The colder it is, the more I Layer-Up (obviously).

@bober02, definitely more versatile.
I usually use an Arcteryx Atom which is synthetic down, if very cold add a down gilet, or swap for a high pile fleece.
I usually have a pack on which helps warm things up.

Arcterxy Rush shell jacket.
Sabre trousers.
I have 6 long sleeve merino base layers (a mix of icebreaker and brass monkeys). So one per day to minimise stinkiness.
I have 3 Decathlon mid layers (these ones - https://www.decathlon.co.uk/midwarm-500-mens-ski-midlayer-blue-id_8371648.html).
I wear one for two days.
I always wear the above together , I run cold so even if weather is warm - I prefer to have the two layers.
If weather is cold - I will wear a RAB down gilet , or a lightweight down decathlon jacket.
And for this season I bought an Arteryx proton LT to try out for more breath-ability as although down is warm , it can get sweaty on the back / shoulders when working hard.
Legs - just a baselayer - do not seem to feel the cold in the bottom half!

@bober02, the R1 is a light fleece ... R2 is more typical as mid-layer .
Atom not too much, least not for me, has broader active range than the R2.
How often does one regularly see -15C in Europe?
