Hey Brandon, I'm used to the 3-layer system (with Gore-tex hardshell) so this will be a bit different for me. I'm thinking on warmer ski days I'll just use a base layer underneath this. And on really cold days I'll wear base layer + mid layer underneath. I really like the feel of the Atom LT hoody but think that might be a little overkill in terms of insulation? Can you recommend any Arc'teryx accoutrements for this jacket?

Hi Joe, You've got this system right. For the really cold days, I've paired this up with a Delta LT pullover and that works well. I also like the Accelero as a light mid-layer, that can be used for all the mild weather months as well. I love the Atom LT hoody, but unless it's below 0f, or you're standing around, you would probably roast.
