Can I wear this as an outer jacket for a week-long ski trip if I layer with fleece and base layers underneath?

I found it to be a tight fit, so I wouldn't be able to put extra clothes underneath. It was a good wind breaker, so it would depend on your jacket.

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

I am not too sure, it looks like it would be as it is a repellent type material. I wear it in the winter with a sweater underneath. I love this jacket, super flattering.

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 could try it. it is not waterproof. it is very comfortable. i like the front zipper. never was a fan of the zipper on back of the wetsuits i used while skiing and tubing altho i understand why. i use mine for hunting as a 2nd layer. i wear thermal underwear (long-johns) top and bottom and then this over that, generally. it worked well. i guess it would depend on your personal preference and if you want this suit directly against your skin

That's probably at the edge of it, if you're talking about jacket and bibs. I sat in an ice hut with good heat in my bibs and a sweatshirt and I was fine, but I wouldn't want to have kept the jacket on. Obviously personal tolerance comes into play. It's definitely the best deep cold suit for the money - worth every penny.

If very cold, no. Just not warm enough. I feel you need something that is fleece inside and out to stay warm enough. Having camped in very, very, icy weather in Colorado mountains, I'd suggest a fleece pant. These aren't that warm and the air will go through the knit.

I live in Michigan and I dress in layers (flannel shirt over hoodie over sweatshirt over long sleeve t-shirt) when it is cold outside. When the temp is in the 30 degree range it MIGHT be somewhat snug.

There is a thin fleece lining on the inside. I used it in the summer time with no problems.

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 would think so. It is basically two pieces of fleece with a zipper, not much use unless in a temperate climate or indoors. We used them when I took a youth group on a mission trip this past summer and we were staying in an Urban Mission Center, so we had four walls and a roof.

I have two of these jackets, love them, but I am 5' 10", about 185 and wear an xl, they are not super tight, plenty of room for a sweatshirt, so I'm guessing you could wear a medium unless your planning on wearing multiple layers underneath.

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

Yes, it's very breathable; the downside is that in higher speeds or lower temps you'll freeze unless you wear multiple layers.

I don't see why not. It's super hard when you get this jacket. Like card board. But it becomes supple with time. I e had mine I think for 5 months now. And am extremely happy with my purchase. If it's 55 degrees I wear just the jacket. Anything colder and I wear a wool sweater underneath. Keeps me nice and toasty

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!

I'd think the Large would be plenty enough for either a fleece and/or single down layer.

I'd only use the shell as a rain jacket in colder weather. Since it has a full liner it's a bit heavy, would be overly warm, and more bulky than a normal rain shell for backpacking.
