Would this keep you warm while skiing

I think it will keep you warm not sure about fit for physical activity though. The heat reflective technology is very effective.

No. While it is a great jacket it is simply not thick enough to keep you warm while skiing. The wind would be too much.

Hi Dawn. So the short answer is I don't know. But I wouldn't expect it to have any magical powers in resisting freezing. That same air-scape suspension that allows your back to stay cool in the summer would keep your body heat from warming the reservoir in the winter. Though, if your back is full, it is the first thing on the back side of that pack. I hope that helps.

No, no no. However, I've been wearing these pants for years. I put on a BASE LAYER underneath (Icebreaker merino wool to be exact) underneath. Skied all day in this combo and was plenty warm.

The layer inside is a little bit thick and that keep you warm! But be careful: if you are doing exercises outdoor in low temperature and you are sweaty, And you let your body cold because you done, you will feel freeze! So You have To be active everytime! And when The exercise is done put some jacket on ! Well! That is The way i use it!

Yes, its not super comfy, but eating at the waffle shack in arctic weather is :) I carry this and a heavy neck wrap. If its warmer I wear this, it covers my neck fine. If its colder, I'll pull my neck warmer up to my goggles/face. Toasty.

Not at all. In fact I love it! I stay warm but not hot like down ccomforters. I got my friend to buy one and they love it also.

It definitely keeps it warm for awhile ... I would imagine if you left the flip top open it would cool faster.

I am sure you will have other layers. It does keep some of the cold out. Dry for sure. The kids were with it the whole day in snow. They were very comfortable.

It's not really insulated, I would say it could keep it warm for 30 minutes to an hour maybe.

i feel very comfortable -- it is hard for me to say whether it is cold or warm as people feel differently. It is breathable - I would say it will keep you cool. I have used for more than 4 weeks now. It has improved my sleep quality. Good luck!

No. It is warm and comfortable. But as I told you it will loose its grip in some time.

I've used polypro in the Marines, but for skiing they're pretty thick, unless you find some that are thin. And I believe you'll want something thin to wick away moisture and excess heat while skiing. Matter of fact, 2 years after active duty, (1999) I did some training with a reserve unit and we went cross country skiing - believe it or not. It was so cold, but the only thing they let us wear was our skivvy tops and bottoms under our gortex...because the skiing was going to heat us up and it did (this was in Grayling, MI and it goes down to the teens; add wind and you're at ~10. now in 2004 and 2005, I went snowboarding with my friends, and I had no thermals on that I could remember. Both trips were freezing cold in Petosky MI. I just had snowboarding pants, wool/blend boarding socks, and regular skivvies. And I was fine, never overheated, b/c the pants had venting zippers - or whatever. Oh yeah, the sun was a big help too. If you're going to ski as incessantly as possible, and you're going to wear snow pants (I assume are insulated), I'd wear something thin underneath. If you're going to only wear gortex in ~10F weather, then polypro might be the ticket. Another thing too. One thing our corpsman told us about polypro, is that you can overheat in them. One thing I've heard about wool from reliable sources, you won't overheat. Polypro is breathable, but will hold heat and won't let go - hence overheating. Wool on the hand is thinner and more breathable, so it can let go of unwanted heat from all the skiing you want to do; and still keep you warm. Hope this helps. So my best guess at ~10F = snow pants + thin wool.

It definitely is warm enough for the core of your body. You will need something to keep other parts like your head warm.

I use it to ski and bike and I have plenty of fabric to tuck under your collar.Hope this helps.

I fluffed it up and it has kept me warm in very cold termperatures in mountains. it does not really puff up as much as some because it is 750 down.

You would still need a jacket. If you sit close you will feel warmth, but not really a lot of heat.

Yes, if you are close it will keep you warm, but its most efficient at keeping a hot water bottle filled with hot water.
