then it would be the ultimate ski jacket. fairly warm by itself thanks to the fleece lining and it has very good weather resistance. the only time i noticed it getting soaked was when i was out in a rain/freezing rain mix. the fit of the jacket is excellent, i can comfortably fit another layer or two underneath, but it doesn't feel too big when i just have a shirt under it. it has held up to countless attacks from trees and the like when on the mountain and the range of motion on it is great.
you do have to be smart about your layers though as the jacket doesn't have pit zips that you can open to quickly cool yourself off.
