Write your question here...Would the Cloudveil Serendipity Jacket be a good jacket to wear under the Koven Jacket for skiing? Would the jacket be waterproof? how warm is jacket?
Yes, absolutely. The two jackets have the same cut, so could be worn together without sacrificing the freedom of movement you get with either jacket. Cloudveil makes great jackets for skiing because you get great freedom of movement. The Serendipity is not waterproof, but snow brushes off easily. The Koven is waterproof. The Serendipity does not have vent zips, but Schoeller dryskin extreme fabric is super and breathes well. Both jackets are shells with little insulation, but are warm with baselayers under. They are both great jackets and I recommend them both.
The jacket was much thinner than I expected and I agree that it is meant for more curvy women, I'm more straight up and down and the jacket looked ... silly on me. However, in terms of sizing, I'm 5'7" 135 with a shorter torso and the small fit perfect, that's without expecting to layer. Nice jacket, well made, quality, comfortable and stretchy material, but not for me.

bought for my wife for xmas. she is quite petite and the small was a joke, seriously it might have fit a child. sent it back for a medium, which fits fine. nice jacket for the price, not much insulation, but it serves its purpose.
Ann, the Zero-G is definitely the option for lift served skiing. It's insulated with 100 gram in the body and 60 gram in the arms Primaloft One , a pass pocket, electronics pocket on the inside, and a internal powder skirt. Warm enough to fight the chill on the lifts, but not so heavy to have you sweating on side hikes. The Serendipity is a true backcountry stretch woven.
I love the material of this jacket - way more stretchy and softer than any other brand of softshell I've found. Unfortunately, the cut did not work for me. It has much more of an hour glass shape than it seems to in the photo. So it looked silly on me as I'm kinda tall and skinny. I had to return it.
I wear this jacket in all weather, either by itself or under my hardshell. It's super comfy, yet light weight. Tons of good pocket room for extra gloves, ipod, whatever. Plus it has a nice look.
