MIght add in some info on temperature. It took me years of skiing to not "overlayer" and get too hot. 40s - 50s Soft shell or mid-layer only over base layer - skip the shell unless you tend to fall down a lot. Above freezing - LIghtly Insulated hardshell over base layer - no mid-layer 20s - Lightly insulated hardshell, thin mid-layer over base layer 10s - Lightly insulated hardshell, thicker mid-layer, over base layer, add balaclava and heavier ski gloves. Bottom line, if it isn't below freezing, don't even bother with a mid-layer. Dress to close the vents in the morning. Open the pit vents at lunchtime to adjust.
Agree - a lightly insulated jacket is the way to go for most. I usually just wear a baselayer and a jacket and I rarely get too cold, skiing warms you up fast. Some harp on about the "3 layer principle" but it's not very useful during the day unless you have a backpack you're not really gonna take a layer off.
Unfortunately you didn't discuss how a ski jacket should fit. If we're in between sizes, should we go slightly too big or slightly too small? It's unclear to me which choice is warmer.
Hey great video! I have a “SuperDry” jacket, it’s pretty thick on the inside. Is it cool to ski with that? I’m not sure if it’s too chunky, cause when i see videos the jackets don’t seem so thick
Ya, as long as it looks good with your snow pants then it's cool to ski with that. And if you meant functionality and not looks then it also should be fine depending on how hot it is outside. If you're usually hot then the jacket might be too hot for you if it's above freezing and you might want to opt for a cheaper, thin jacket
I like the Salomon Brilliant JKT. I am 1.79 cm tall and weigh about 70 kg. I tried the M and L sizes. With the L size I have a bit more space behind my back as well as the sleeves. Is that how it is, or is it buying an M that is otherwise my size when buying clothes? Otherwise I tried the fleece below.

Good information for new skiers! Passed this video on to our readers. Thanks for the resource. ♥
Thanks for the help! This is super helpful going into my fist jacket
At first glance I legit thought you were Alex Honnold. Does anyone ever tell you that you look similar?
Haha! Me too, o was like, "why is he doing ski jackets video?", prior to klicking the thumbnail.

Slightly bigger will allow you to layer underneath it much easier and more effectively. A tight fit won’t give you a space to warm up either.
Does it mean the jacket needs to be tight with the helmet so that when I ski, it wont move at all?
what's the song playing in the background?

Is napapjiri good to ski in?
50% is the best? Patigona makes 90% recycled polyester.
Hows the gsou brand??
I want a snowboard jacket that has a multicolor print to it
