Is this a good skiing jacket?

I would think it would be. they are not bulky and yet they keep you warm...do not dry clean..

It's great just get one size bigger than you normally would and you'll have enough room for 2 thinner or 1 thick layer underneath. Its very lightweight. I'm not sure about how warm it is in extreme cold though because I just bought it.

I think this jacket maybe a little too thin for skiing and I am not sure if it's windproof. Personally, I wouldn't wear it for skiing. Overall, that's great jacket just to go to school or shopping. I hope this helps.

It might be good for skiing but I think this alone might not protect you from extreme cold. It is good for California weather as it's not that cold here in winter.

The coat is great for cool weather sports, and it breaths pretty well, so I'd say it would be good for running, although in cooler weather--probably not great for warmer weather. The coat has a very snug fit so if that works okay for running then it should be fine. It should be fine for just about any activity from about 37º or so up to about 65º.

My gf wore it while skiing this winter and worked perfect. She's also worn it running. It fits just like a backpack.n

It's an awesome jacket. Minnesota gets pretty darn cold so you'd probably want a layer under the jacket. May be a fleece.

Sorry I'm not sure I returned it before testing it out outside in the elements. It's a beautiful jacket though!

It appears to be a standard BDU jacket. I think it would be ok for early spring and late fall weather. I don't think it is designed for severely cold weather.

I use this jacket in anything from 20-60 temps. I just add more layers underneath as necessary. For very cold rides, I use a couple of extra layers around my core (a-shirt, then a t-shirt) with a long-sleeve base layer and a long-sleeve fleece. The trick is to do the layering in a way that doesn't add too much bulk - especially in the arms. Otherwise, you'd need to buy a size up and then it'd be too flappy when you're using it in 60 weather. If money were no object, I'd buy a specialty jacket for really cold weather, but I can make this one work pretty well as long as I'm riding hard enough to generate some warmth. I wear a size medium in most of my shirts (5'8" 140lbs) and I'm happy that I bought a size small in this jacket. Fits close with just enough room for a thin fleece layer underneath. It's probably not 100% windproof (and definitely not waterproof) but it makes a good outer layer and cuts most of the wind.

This is an excellent ski jacket. Given the right size; you should be held almost upright during flotation.

I found it to run a little large but I like that. I've had my base layer for over a year, wearing it frequently for winter and camping in summer. It still fits very well and keeps me toasty. Just follow the washing instructions and you should be good.

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

I can't relate to skis, however I snowboard and they are very reliable pads. You should be just fine wearing them.

I can say I was comfortable in this jacket with a long-sleeved t-shirt on underneath while boarding in a high of -2 F (not factoring in the wind chill I was making going down the slopes). I probably wouldn't count on it for too much lower than that, but it is surprisingly warm for how thin and light it is.

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 own this jacket, and my guess would be large, but I would look to the manufacturer's size chart to be sure. I bought mine too big based on reviews. However, the quality of this jacket is not very good. I would not recommend buying it. I now wish I had bought a more expensive one of better quality.

No - it's too light. Especially if your coming to Colorado, it's COLD here and our snow is big. Even with synthetic base and fleece, just not warm or waterproof enough

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

I believe it is to a degree. It fleece, but I typically wear it with a hood in the snow. I imagine you'd be fine unless you went out in the rain .
