Andy from the Heli team takes you through his layering system to prepare for a day of heliskiing with Northern Escape Heliskiing when temperatures are -23 degrees celsius.
Can you please specifiy what material each of the layers are e.g. merino wool. Also could you specify the weight of each layer whether it’s light weight, mid weight or heavy weight. Thanks in Advance
Unless google is wrong, 35-40 degrees farenheit is above freezing temperature. You're probably not skiing at those temperatures. But if you somehow are, or just hiking or doing any kind of outdoor activity for a longer period of time: I'd say that the most imporant thing is a set of clothing where you're able to remove layers and put them back on easily. When you're hiking for example (and the same goes for skiing, climbing etc), you can get really worked up physically for short periods of time, and feel the need to cool off, while needing warm back up just a short while later. It's better to be too warm than too cold, as long as you can manage the warmth by shedding layers, if that makes any sense. Best of luck with whatever kind of adventure you have in mind, even if it's just a walk. Much love!
I like shell ski pants. 340g merino base layer isn’t enough in the teens and below. Imo. So I wear a silk base or when if necessary a tight 150g then the looser fitting 340(minus33), followed by the shell pants. As for the top. I find it hard to layer as much as in the video without getting layers too compressed which defeats the purpose of layering. I have worn a base, a mid, a puffy and shell. The key is bing able to vent, not compressing the layers, and feeling not only, not cold, but also not like Randy from Christmas Story.
Had a day forecast last season -20 celcius, was terrified as had never experienced such cold. Turned out to be an absolute gorgeous sunny day with zero wind. Had put an extra layer on in preparation. Ended up having to drop the additional layer and just went with a base, fleece then insulated jacket. The buff and quality mittens are essentials.
-15-20 celsius I usually ski in base layer and insulated ski jacket, without mid layer. Woolen base layer keeps warm really well so, at least for me, that’s enough
will have to follow you there. skiing in nicer weather at moment and can certainly drop fleece as a midlayer combined with HH insulated jacket. Amazed how warm HH jacket is.@@oleg274
I wasn't expecting to receive ski dressing tips from Steve Aoki... but it sure has been a pleasure
Disappointed there was no cake to the camera
He loves the pow.....
I think his name is Andy Aoki he’s Steve’s long lost cousin. It’s pretty easy.
Severely overdressed for -23C, this outfit would be good for around -33C and below

overdressed
For an average weather day of 35-40 degrees, is a wool or fleece mid layer be ok? And what about a cotton sweater?
I heard cotton was not good as a base layer

At what point you just stay inside and enjoy a book?
I’m sure he’s staff and every morning on a day like that hopes his customers bail
Good recommended video especially because I’m going to Jay Peak, VT this weekend with lows in the negative teens Fahrenheit
Haha I was just watching this video cause It hasn’t been this cold in a minute
I skipped killington this weekend cuz of -20 degrees F* temperature. 2/4/23
Put your socks on last so they stay dry
Can you please take pictures of the labels of each garment and put them at the end of your video. Thanks in Advance
Too many layers. Better to improve the quality of the gear, so you can keep it to 3 layers vs 5.
Thanks for video.
Heated gloves is a game changer too

When it’s colder than - 20 i suggest double down. A down vest or hoody and a down jacket on top
I keep telling my wife to layer, and i watch video and turns out i didn't know how to layer myself haha...
No wonder I am cold snowboarding in canada with a hoodie and a gore tex shell XD.
Can you please list the brands of the Bib Pants and other products if you can, thank you appreciate it
