- Is this jacket warm enough for skiing without a midlayer?
- It is insulated, so it works alone on typical cold resort days. Add a fleece for single-digit temperatures or long stationary periods.
- How waterproof is 20k?
- 20k waterproofing is solidly in the resort range and handles wet snow and moderate rain. It is not a substitute for a hardshell in sustained heavy rain.
- Does the knee length get in the way?
- It limits stride slightly and can feel heavy when hiking. For lift-served skiing it is fine; for touring, a shorter shell is easier.
- How does the sizing run?
- It is a regular fit, so take your usual size for a thin midlayer. Size up if you plan to wear a puffy underneath.
- What is the difference between 20k waterproofing and 15k breathability?
- Waterproofing is how much water pressure the fabric resists; breathability is how much moisture vapor it lets out. Higher numbers mean better performance in each area.
- When is it cheapest?
- Long ski jackets usually drop in price at the end of the season, from late February into April, and again in early fall clearance.
