Is the Kota warm enough on its own?

Yes for most resort days. The synthetic insulation plus a three-layer shell handles cold lift rides; add a base layer in deep winter.

How does the fit run?

Loose. It is cut roomy to layer over a midlayer, so slim riders may want to size down.

Yes. The membrane is rated 15,000 mm waterproof and 15,000 g breathability, enough for resort snow and light rain.

It works as a general winter jacket, but the loose ski cut and insulation suit cold, active days best.

The Kota has built-in synthetic insulation, so you need fewer layers. A shell is lighter and more versatile across seasons.
