This might be a dumb question, but I'm new to the world of technical layering. I just bought this shell and will be using this primarily for skiing in temps between -30*F to 40*F among other things. What do you wear under an uninsulated shell to be comfortable in temps that cold? Usually I just throw on an underarmour, hoodie, and my current phenix ski jacket but I heard you can be a lot more comfortable (aka not sweating and overheating) layering properly. I'm a big fan of no bulk.

I would go with a merino wool long sleeve base layer, then a thin nylon t-shirt or a loose fitting underarmour shirt. Next, I'd throw on a thin fleece like a Patagonia Synchilla, then I'd switch the ski jacket with a thin synthetic puffy layer like a Montbell UL Thermawrap or a Montane Prism (both with hoods). Then the final layer would be your sick eVent shell. In my opinion, the key to layering is to have lightweight layers that you can stash pretty easily when you need to shed.
