Is the Livia warm enough for skiing?

Yes. It has a waterproof, breathable shell plus insulation, a powder skirt and a windguard, so it handles cold lift rides and snow play. It is not a lightweight shell for spring skiing.

How does the I-Grow system work?

The sleeves have extra length that can be let out as a child grows, so the jacket fits for more than one season. Check the size chart, since the fit is roomy to start.

The HydroBlock Sport fabric is rated 10k/10k, which keeps out snow and light rain. It is not built for heavy, sustained rain.

Does it come with a hood?

Yes, the hood is attached. The collar and chin area are fleece lined for comfort.

Can it be used outside skiing?

Yes. The mitten clips, reflective trim and warm insulation make it a solid everyday winter jacket for school and sledding.

How does it compare with a basic puffer?

It adds a powder skirt, articulated sleeves, a windguard and the grow system, which basic puffers lack. It is heavier and warmer than a fashion puffer.
