can it be used as a skiing jacket?

Very lightweight and not overly snug or bulky at all. Great wind resistance. Reflective lining keeps in heat. We use it in boating conditions where dampness and wind can chill you. Not sure how this might relate to skiing, but that is what Columbia promotes it for.

As the others said. It is a good wind blocker, but not fantastically warm when below 30ish. I where a hoodie under it, because it runs large and there is plenty of room.

Yes rmovable. Great coat, little flimsy for street use, better snowboarding/skateboarding, might wear it on a motorcycle at 80-90degrees, no hotter unless your moving. Id say insulating. Built for skiing. Im a 36-38 chest, i believe a ibought a large, good fit. The picture with the zipper is the real photo. Very stylish, but the mesh makes it kinda loose fitting and pads MUST stay in place so take time each time, fitting the velcro comfortably.

You can use it for anything. For diving, there is a waterproof vessel and mask mount. I see no reason it couldn't be mounted on ski goggles.

This would work for snowmobiling, but it might not be heavy enough for way lower temperatures. I live in a fairly mild climate (35-40f lows to 75-80f highs). I use the jacket solely for motorcycle riding, and just because it has armored shoulders, elbows, and back. If it's 35f at night, even with the liner, it's a little cold. For snowmobiling, I'd say get a size or two larger than you wear and wear layers underneath. Watch out, though, this jacket runs a bit on the small side (if you wear a large, get an XL or XXL).

I dont see why not. First time i used it was for sledding. I cant wait to use it this summer for diving.

I don't think so unless it might be a light weight leather jacket as it is 6 inches high, 12 inches long and 8 inches wide. I use it for my drinks and snacks as it is insulated and use the cover over it as it is light in color to not attract to the heat from the sun

i think is posible, i dont know the ski pole diameter but you can use some plastic material too attach it properly just in case...

I guess you could - but I never tried it. I use this product primarily for cleaning ski jackets.

I love this jacket! I wear it in Houston, TX and in NYC. When temperatures are in the 40s it is great! I also bought the Marmot waterproof rain jacket, and I use it for a mid layer. When combined it is a good ski option for spring skiing.

It could definitely be used for skiing both with the head strap/helmet mount or the chesty mount as done by most of the team athletes. If you go any lower where it will be constantly exposed to the snow like on a ski or the side of a boot, you would want to keep it dry so the waterproof housing would be a better choice. Depends ultimately on whether or not it will be getting wet.

Have not used it for that, but i don't see why not. It is very sturdy, seems waterproof, and would retain the heat (it retains the cold). It is made of a strong paper, with glazed finish. Probably biodegradable.

By itself, no. It's just a thin layer of waterproof material (which keeps me 100% dry) but it's not really designed for being a warm jacket...now if you put it over something else you should be good

The helmet is sold as a bicycle helmet, and I am not familiar with what would be required for skiing. Maybe you can ask the Bell manufacturer on their website.

Yes. I have one of these that I keep on mine exclusively so it is pocketable in a coat when I snowboard.

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.

No. You would want to look for Heat Gear items (designed to keep you cool on the heat). This is a Cold Gear item (designed to keep you warm in the cold).

I personally never wear jeans with ski/snowboard pants because jeans don't breathe well. However, if the jeans were thin, then I think you could. I tend to wear thermals/long underwear under my ski pants.
