Poster: A snowHead
|
I have Arc'teryx soft shell gore tex ski pants which have no lining whatsoever. I skied in them in the summer in Argentina and Chile with just some Icebreaker 200 capri leggings on underneath and was fine temperature wise, but i suspect it will be much colder in Jackson in a couple of weeks and i'm worried about getting cold. I therefore call upon the collective wisdom/experience of snowheads to advise me or confuse me further lol
I also have some skins capri leggings, but i do find these cold just when out walking over here. Can i wear both these and the icebreakers together if i need to? If so which should i go for next to the skin?
Should i track down some Icebreaker 260s as these are a little warmer?
Or what about a midlayer? I have never needed these before as i've always had lined ski pants. I looked at some TNF fleecey lined leggings earlier but apparently these only come in a full leg length so i would have to hack the bottoms off.

I just use stretch jogging pants as a mid layer and cut the bottoms off.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

snobunni, Are the soft shell pants 100% waterproof? As I need some new ones I thought they might double as walking waterproof trousers.

Only you will know...but normally a layer between skin and shell is often enough for most people down to about -15 for legs, IMO

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

snobunni, quit fretting; there are plenty of shops when you get there if you do feel cold.

it's each to their own really but I imagine you'll be ok with just the icebreaker underneath. I usually ski in a shell with nothing on underneath.......... no that's right nothign at all!! mmmm nothing better than moist gore tex agaisnt the skin.....
