I'm not too familiar with the insulation ratings. How does this fair? For a day of skiing (temperatures around freezing), how many layers do you need to wear to be comfortable all day? Thanks. Thanks for the answer. If you say staying dry is more important, I have another question: is the waterproof rating of 10k going to keep me dry?

With any winter activity staying dry is much more important than insulation. 40g of microtemp insulation is more than adequate to keep you cozy while skiing to near 0 temps. As far as layers go a good base layer should be all that you need underneath.
