New England and Northern NY skiing can be brutally cold. Even in the coldest of outings I only wear a heavy base layer (power stretch top) No need for a mid layer you simply alter the base layer to the conditions. It breathes quite well and blocks all wind. Rugged construction and great looking. If you ski the cold this is your jacket. Easy with the layers you could over heat!
I purchased the black version of this jacket and absolutely love it. I have used this jacket in weather from 10 to 50 degrees, snow and rain, and it kept me comfy and dry in all cases. The shell remarkably sheds rain, even when soaked. It's light weight and stylish, what else could you ask for.
