Arc'teryx Handler Hooded Jacket - Women's
June 17, 2010
I would like to use this jacket skiing with a waterproof shell when necessary. I currently own the Burton North Star full-zip hoodie and wear that as my 'warmth' piece with 1-2 other underlayers which are breathable (ie merino). I ski in NH, and we often get temps right around or below 32F. The problem I've found with the Burton North Star is that 1) in extreme temps it's not warm enough, and 2) it doesnt breathe very well (ie I sweat). In light of that, here are my questions regarding the Handler, the North Star, as well as the I/O Bio Merino Signature Hooded Sweater:
1) Could you rate all three of them from warmest to least warm?
2) Could you rate all three of them from most breathable to least breathable?
Here are the links for the other two jackets:

Backcountry.com Overhang Pant - Women's
April 8, 2010
so, i bought these - i went downhill skiing in them, and they were relatively okay - i fell a couple times, and didnt get wet. however, the trouble was that they were SUUUPER thin for skiing pants. i had to wear two layers underneath (one was fleece) and was still cold. they're thinner than jeans - just a light pant. i would not recommend them for snow sports for this reason only. also, they run a little short if you have longer legs. mine are long, not suuuuper long, but long. they gave me the same problem that all other regular/err-on-the-side-of-less-length pants do.

It says these are water-resistant - does that mean they can be worn for skiing on not too wet/snowy days?

Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Women's
November 4, 2009
I would love to see this jacket *exactly* the same (merlot color included) but with a full zip and hood (detachable, ideally, but that's negotiable if color & zip are in place). Can anyone recommend something like it? The Backcountry Shift jacket seems comparable, but there are no more pretty colors left and the hooded version is almost $150 (the latter being the greatest disincentive). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
