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.

I think so. I wear a size large, moto style (collarless) jacket. I folded it along the vertical and rolled it. It fit with a little room to spare around the edges.

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'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.

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.

I don't know, I returned the jacket right away because the connections were too loose and jacket would not stay warm, if you move at all!

Can definitely be used for a ski pole. Just loosen up the two screws but they aren't rubber

We use with a tube and works great to hold rope out of water. Would think it would be fine with a skier too.

yes. You can remove the automatic inflation system and use it as a manual jacket. It's also quite comfortable. I wore it today in 90 degree temperatures.

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 snow ski in my Jena Jacket and it's great for just throwing on in the Winter to run out. With lightweight down you are warm when it's really cold but not too warm when it's not freezing cold. Hope this helps. I own 2 of these jackets, 1 bright yellow and 1 in bright green ... love both of them.

Yes, you can as it is just for a cover. Do not use if you will do any swimming or sweating as it will run green

I don't know if it can be used as a winter cover. We take our pool down for the winter.

Yes..it's more of a full cut jacket. Check out the review on outdoorgearlab.

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.

You can use it as lining but it's quality is too good for that. Of course it depends of what lining will be

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.
