So I just received my jacket -definitely have some concern about how thin it is. I'll be using this to ski in all conditions so want to be sure it is warm enough on those cold days. Has anyone been using it as their main shell or is this a better fall jacket?

aaaah...I see what you were asking. Sorry about that. This will definitely get the job done for skiing. Snow, water and wind out. It's not a light summer shell - Gore Tex Pro Shell is beefy. Frankly, unless I know I'm going to be out for days in the rain in the summer, I wear a lighter rain jacket, but my Pro Shell always goes with me when I'm skiing.

Yea, I get that I'll need layers. Still I wouldn't wear my rain slicker to go skiing so want to make sure this jacket will get the job done.

Hi there. This jacket isn't insulated, so you can wear it in all seasons, and change what layers you're wearing underneath to keep you warm. This jacket will keep water and wind out (and let perspiration out), but you'll have to put some other clothing on to keep you toasty on those freezing winter days.
