Yep, it's insulated - nice details

Wore my Stoneham on a moderately warm day in March (30 on the slopes) and it was just too hot. I had a longsleeve merino shirt and a tee over that. In the dead of Winter I suspect this will be extremely warm for you. (I'm stoked for January's return, anyone else?) It looks awesome as well. I picked it up in black and it's quite striking, visually. I'm 6'1" w/ 42" shoulders and I picked it up in an XL. Probably would have been fine in a L, but I like my coats baggy. Never know when you'll have to get a girl in there with you. I never know, anyway... Really... Tech on this Helly is awesome. Ever had to have your liftmates pull your pitzips because you couldn't reach the damned things? Yeah, not on this guy; they're mounted towards the front. Brilliant! The hand pockets are extremely warm and comfy. I think they lined them with kittens. Just a guess. The pass pocket on the sleeve could stand to have a bigger window. It's just barely wide enough to display my barcode for scanning, but only if you hold it "just so". I just take it out. Everything else is perfectly laid out, IMO. The muffler (? - whatever you end up with when you zip it up all the way and have up against your face) is very soft and it has... holes in it. Not sure how useful that will be, but I'll play along. Maybe I'll comment on that in a follow-up review next season. Also! It has a little spandex "powderskirt" in the sleeves, complete with thumbholes! This was a nice surprise. Again, too hot for me this time, but keeping snow out of your sleeves if you're rocking gloves without gauntlets is priceless. Super stoked to have this in my wardrobe and can't wait for it to come out next season.
