Hey just wanted to say thank you for such an informative video. It might be second nature for those who live in snow country but as someone from Florida looking to do his first ski trip this was awesome. Thanks again!
Thanks for the useful info, esp to a skiing newbie! A couple of questions: (1) As your outer layer is 2 jacket system, what is the temperature range in which you need 2 jackets and the temperature range in which you don't need the Proton insulated hoodie? Or do you almost always need both? (2) What is the warmest ski gloves brand/model you can recommend? Many thanks.
Hey thanks! Glad you found it helpful. I wear both jackets in most instances, even when it is 10°-15° above freezing. The warmest ski gloves I’ve used are my white hestra heli mittens, I left a link in the video description
I patrol at Jiminy and I’ve been battling with masking. They get wet and I feel like I’m being smothered. I’ve tried to resolve the issue with swapping out masks and drying them out in between. Best I could come up with. I completely agree with layering coats for skiing that I use for hiking too. Multiple uses. Glad you’re getting some skiing in!
Yeah I hear you about the wet masks mine kept freezing up too. It’s a bummer and a pain to deal with but it’s better than no skiing. I bet there’s a solution to the wet mask issue. Maybe someone will make a goretex one or something lol. Have you tried Ruroc helmets? I wonder if that rigid face mask attachment would help keep the cloth in place
@@FinerBub I have not used those helmets but a bunch of the patrollers started using the Mission face gaiters and they make adjustable behind the neck masks. I ordered some. The others seem to prefer them. I think they have a sale buy 3 get one free I think. Maybe check it out
How should my ski pants fit? I bought some Montec Dune snow pants and theyre great i just dont know if theyre too long on my boots, theyre kinda bunched up and it looks weird.
I have not tried them although I know a lot of people who use them. They’re a good choice for skiing but I like having the long ones so that I can use them for other activities as well. I just roll them up while I’m skiing
Is a hardshell necessary? So you go with two softshells on top of each other basically? I do back country climbing 2k vert in Sierra's then snow board down. Thanks!
I typically only wear a hardshell in the rain. My black Arc'teryx jacket is insulated but is less tear resistant and does not repel moisture as well as my green exterior softshell by black diamond. So they serve different purposes. I'm not a very experienced climber so I can't really speak on that but it is something I'd like to get into. I hope this helps. Thanks for commenting!
@@FinerBub thanks for the info. I’m hardly experienced at climbing or riding! Your explanation was very useful as I hope to lighten my gear and increase breathability.

Thank you for leaving such a nice comment! I’m glad you found the video helpful!
Thanks for going into detail. I've watched at least 15 videos and non of them showed the inside of ski pants.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great information on how to stay warm by layering! I wish I knew all that growing up on the ski slopes of the Laurentians.
Glad you found it helpful 😊

My baselayer is made of a mix with cotton and doesn' t feel wet and doesn't stink. Löffler Transtex Warm
Cool. Thanks for sharing that!
That is a rad looking jacket
Thanks bro
Have you seen Ewool heated vests-gloves and sock covers. 130°F on high (105°F hot tub).
A company sent me a heated vest this season. I’ll test it and keep you posted on how it goes
Thanks ❤ should I wear brief or
Short under the base layer
Whatever is most comfortable to you. Probably best to avoid cotton though 👍
great video brother!
Thank you 🙏 much appreciated!
Super helpful informative vid 🙂
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome! Will do. Thanks!

If they're bunched up then they're probably too long...
Great video, btw your eyes are way cool, congrats on the genes!
Haha thank you 🙏
Do you wear you base layer pants tucked inside your ski boots? or do you pull them up above?
Pull them up above. Nothing but thin, wool socks should be in the ski boots.
@@FinerBub have you tried any of the knicker or 3/4 length base layers. I was thinking about just cutting off the bottoms of a pair.
I have not tried them although I know a lot of people who use them. They’re a good choice for skiing but I like having the long ones so that I can use them for other activities as well. I just roll them up while I’m skiing
snow boyyyy
Comment boyyyyyy
I also have an proton lt hoody with an black diamond shell over it. However, I have the black diamond hybrid shell not the soft shell.
Nice!
@@FinerBub thanks mate. Is the softshell sufficient and robust or do you sometimes think a Hardshell (hybrid) would be better?
For winter time the soft shell is fine. I’d probably only use my hard shell for skiing if I knew it was gonna rain
@@FinerBub do you think the hardshell with proton lt underneath is an overkill? I rather tend to run hot.
I mean it depends on the weather of the day. I like having layers because it’s easy to add or subtract as needed
Are both jackets in the same size? Or the shell should be one size up?
Large on large son

Thanks for the video and all the links! Is buff better than a fleece gaiter for skiing?
No problem glad you found it helpful. I like the buff but the fleece is definitely warmer
Nice video
Thank you 🙏
@@FinerBub What your favorite part of the video
Not sure. I like all of my clothing at the moment. Maybe the arc’teryx hoodie…
@@FinerBub cool
Thanks for commenting! Hope you found the video helpful
I ski in glove liners, not joking.

Lol.. "Mask Zone"
What can I say? We’ve lived through some strange times…
