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.

We used it for two pair and also put some ski clothes in also. But it can be tightened with exterior straps, so I would guess you could just put one pair in and surround them with poles, goggles, gloves, etc.

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).

No my friend it will not fit. I got it and made a mistake. The jacket is too small.

In fact, I returned the belt pack because it could not accommodate my camera, Nikon D700 with grip. However, I do believe it would be quite comfortable for skiing. I'm not sure about biking because you're in a sitting position and I don't bike enough to answer. It's a great bag if your camera fits

Hi Gavin, I think that there are other packs much better suited to backcountry skiing. The pluses for this pack are its compact size with many features - good for daily use, travel and day hiking. This pack would tend to be too small and light for more demanding applications.

They probably would, but they are meant for motorcycle helmets, and you cannot remove the microphone. Which would probably be in your way for skiing.

I believe they would work well for skiing, they are thicker than standard thermal underwear, without being bulky. I think the activity statement pertains to construction or building trades.

I have not tried it for winter sports but I would be very hesitant to try. The hot dog is expensive and the cold will make the fabric and plastic very brittle that could easily crack or puncture.

I don't see why not. I've only used them for snowboarding, but it think it was meant for like dirt bike riding lol. I would use them in hot areas. I don't see how it would damage it

I don't know why it couldn't. Our 4 grand children ages 8-12 wore them skiing last year. I'm fixing to order two more for skiing. I would highly recommend them

I never tried. But it unzips all the way around to be a "blanket" so it could be possible but Im not sure

I have not used it for skis, but I would think it should so long as there is a way to secure the skis to the carrier.

I don't see why not. It's a nylon sheet much like the material on a good windbreaker you might wear.

I think it would be fine for that. We use it for travel for 2 pairs of skis with poles and also put a helmet with goggles in it.

I don't see why not, it is fleecy and warm as is, inside the home at 70 degrees, actually a little too warm if temps rise. I could see this inserted in an outdoor bag for extra warmth.

I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill. Without wind, keeping lightly active (walking my dogs), wearing layers beneath it, and staying out of the direct wind, I have been kept comfortably warm. If you are more active (skiing or snowshoeing) you should stay quite warm. The jacket does not block wind very well, so if you are in windy conditions I do not think it would be enough unless you wore some sort of windbreaker over it, but I'm not sure about trying to fit it under something else. I have worn a thick wool sweater under it without any problems. I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill.
