 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I was sweating like the proverbial glass-blower's ar$e last week skiing in the hot sun in Wengen so I'm after a new jacket for my next trip. Any recommendations for something that's light and cool for skiing on sunny spring days?

What's your budget? I have a very thin light Arcteryx Stingray jacket which has been superb in both spring (with just a a T shirt) and winter with 3 layers....

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

Get a shell jacket, most companies do them - same water/wind proofing and breathability (or better) as a normal jacket, no insulation. In the winter just layer up with thermals and you've got a super flexible jacket.

jonm, i've just bought this green windstopper with a 15% discount from Tamarack outdoors http://products.norrona.com/webshop/tradepoint/b2c/ItemView.aspx?ID=3150-09%203398
Very light, keeps the wind out and sleeves zips all the way down from armpit to cuff so you can tuck them away when touring.
Also have a Haglofs pro shell for when the weather is bad but pro shells don't breathe well (whatever the claims) so you sweat your dangly bits off if its hot or you're going uphill.

Or Aldi softshells if you want something cheap and can find one still (bought mine about this time last year way after the offers but needed to try a few branches to find one), wore mine with just a merino t shirt (Aldi as well!) under in temps between about 0 and -5 on holiday.
